Crooked Numbers: Homer-happy July

Trading places: The Tampa Yankees pulled out a Bizarro World victory July 29, defeating visiting Charlotte, 6-5, in 14 innings. The game's winning pitcher was Emerson Landoni, who hurled two shutout innings. Usually a shortstop, Landoni entered in the bottom of the sixth inning as a pinch-hitter, remained in the game as the third baseman and then made his professional pitching debut in the 13th.

Meanwhile, the game's winning hit in the bottom of the 14th came courtesy of a pitcher moonlighting as a first baseman! That would be right-handed reliever Michael Solbach, who entered in the 13th inning and made two difficult defensive plays before coming through with a walk-off single in the 14th.

Succeeding where others have failed: The St. Lucie Mets thrashed the Clearwater Threshers , 19-4, on July 18, with every player in the starting lineup hitting safely and scoring. Five Threshers pitchers appeared in the ballgame, and the only one to escape unscathed wasn't actually a pitcher. Outfielder Brian Gump came on to pitch the eighth and tossed a 1-2-3 frame.

At home on the road: It'd be very difficult to say for sure, but this month David Chester of the Gulf Coast League Red Sox accomplished something that may be without precedent in professional baseball history. The first baseman connected for a home run against the visiting GCL Twins on July 12, a two-run shot in the bottom of the second. The contest was suspended in the fourth due to inclement weather, and continued on July 16 at the Twins' complex. Picking up where he left off, Chester came to bat in the bottom of the sixth and slammed yet another two-run homer.

Swindell notches 44th win at Knoxville; Garner takes 360 Feature

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 31) – Sammy Swindell captured his 44th career win (5th all-time) at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night as this track inched ever closer to its 50th annual Knoxville Nationals (August 11-14). On the 360 side of things Clint Garner led flag to flag to register his 7th career win here in his tune up for the 20th 360 Nationals next weekend at this storied track. Only two laps were in the books for the 410 feature when Jonathan Cornell made contact with the turn three fence. The altercation damaged his car too badly and he was unable to restart. When the race was restarted Brook Tatnell led Austin McCarl, Dusty Zomer and Swindell back to green. The top three running cars chose the high cushion as only Swindell tested his luck on the bottom. Right away Swindell moved into third and on the next circuit made a pass of McCarl to take second from this same line. After that Swindell began to close the gap between himself and Tatnell. The half-way point in the 20-lap event saw the front runners head into lap traffic. The following circuit saw Swindell dive low in turns 3-4 and exit with the lead coming to the flag stand. He then began to pull away from the field. Swindell showed what a professional he was as not even the lap cars impeded his progress on this big half mile. Garner was chased early on by Johnny Anderson. Soon, Shilling passed for the runner-up spot and trailed in close quarters until a lap 14 restart saw Anderson retake second. In fact, Shilling had taken the lead on lap 14 but the yellow flag negated his newly-gained position. In the end, Garner took the win by little more than ten car lengths with Anderson, Shilling, Dustin Slevage and Chad Humston trailing. Completing the top ten were Kyle Hirst, Jon Agan (from 15th) Ryan Roberts, Dave Hall and Austin Alumbaugh (from 19th).
