FIVE COUNTY STADIUM/ZEBULON It’s Game 1 of the Carolina Mudcats’ series with the Chattanooga Lookouts, and the first time I’ve been able to make it out here in 20 days.
I had scheduled a multi-day event with some extended family to coincide with a hole in the Durham Bulls schedule before I was shown the door by the Incredible Shrinking Herald-Sun in May, so I was away for the whole series the last time Chattanooga was here July 15-21.
Chattanooga won that series, although the Mudcats won the final two games of the five-game set.
Incidentally, seems budget cuts are everywhere. There’s a new system for obtaining sodas that has been the talk of the press box. But at least they’re free, so if that’s the worst thing that happens to me for a while life is pretty OK.
Anyway, I’ll go with the Italian sausage tonight, fortunately the rains are holding off now and it’s game time.
There are a couple of local favorites on the visiting roster tonight. Duke alumnus Zach Schreiber, who was with the old Richmond Braves all last season, is in the Lookouts’ bullpen along with Tim Corcoran, who was a Mudcat most of last season and was with the Durham Bulls in 2004-05.
Chattanooga gets to Lee Tabor pretty quickly in the first inning, scoring two runs en route to its 3-0 victory. Adam Godwin (pictured) leads off with a single to left, advances on James Tomlin’s sacrifice bunt to first and scores on Andrew Lambo’s single to right. Josh Bell singles to left center and Lucas May hits a two-out single to right center before Juan Gonzalez draws the bases-loaded walk to make it 2-0. Continue reading »

Starter Travis Wood (pictured) and Logan Ondrusek of the Carolina Mudcats each pitched a perfect inning for the North Division in a 7-0 rout over the homestanding South in the Southern League All-Star Game on Monday night at Birmingham.
Ten pitchers appeared for the North in a four-hit shutout, in which no South Division player safely touched third base.
Josh Bell of the Chattanooga Lookouts was the offensive hero, going 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI to earn the game’s Star of Stars honor.
In other Carolina news, former Mudcat Chris Heisey - now playing for the Louisville Bats - was named International League player of the week for games ending Sunday.
The Mudcats return home on Wednesday night at 7:15 to take on Chattanooga in the opener of a five-game series.

Finally.
Michael Griffin (picured) had two hits including a homer, Juan Francisco added three hits including a double with an RBI, and six Carolina Mudcats had extra-base hits Monday night in a 7-6 road win over the Chattanooga Lookouts.
The result ended Carolina’s five-game losing streak.
Steven Otterness, who was just called up from Dayton as Dallas Buck went on the DL with a sore arm, was the winning pitcher in relief.
But the big plays came on defense in the ninth, as two Lookouts were tagged out at the plate trying to score the tying run.
In the Chattanoooga ninth, Ramon Nivar led off with a double. Josh Bell then singled down the left-field line, but Todd Frazier cut off the hit and gunned down the lead runner.
After a wild pitch, catcher Brian Peterson blocked a pitch that headed up the first-base line. Bell tried to score on the play, but pitcher Logan Ondrusek caught Peterson’s toss and tagged him out.
Andrew Lambo grounded to second baseman Jose Castro to end the game.
