"Jae" It Ain't "Seo"!

Jae Seo followed up Mark Prior's no hitter with a gem of his own. Seo went out and only allowed one more hit than Prior in 9 innings, one hitting the Tottenham Blue Jays. "I know it's just spring training, but I feel great," Seo said through a translator, "not as good as Mark did, but it is nice to go out there and try to earn a job on this team." In the last 18 innings, opponents have a grand total of zero runs on one hit against Christian pitchers Prior and Seo.

In other ST news, Joey Gathright of the Pythons went 5-5, as Jenkins hits a PH grandslam. The Gloves play another long one, this time against the Flashes in an 18 inning affair. Miggy Cabrera hits a walk-off for the Rollers, Nixson hits one for Batons. Carrasco wins again for Flashes with another strong outing.

Prior to the Season, Mark No-Hits Accies in ST

It may be Spring Training, but Mark Prior didn't get the memo. Prior went out and no-hit the Bristol spring squad, allowing just 2 walks. "I couldn't pull him," stated Cal Ripken Jr., "the guy was just on fire. Ideally, he would have thrown about 6 innings, but once he had the no-no, I wasn't about to take him out." Prior threw a total of 111 pitches, 69 for strikes. Helping out the cause was Kenny Lofton, who had 5 hits and Coco Crisp who had 4 hits. "We all know the kid can pitch," said Ted Williams who went 0-3, "today he went out and proved it once again." The Christians won 14-0.
