As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I was excited to see 22-year-old pitcher James Parr pitch sometime this month. What I didn't know is that he would start the game against the Nationals last night and throw 6 shutout innings in his first major league game. He had 3 strikeouts and gave up 3 walks and 2 hits while never throwing a pitch over 88 MPH. Jeff Bennett and Julian Tavarez received holds for their scoreless inning and Mike Gonzalez pitched the ninth for his ninth save of the season. Gonzalez has not blown a save since June 2004, saving 39 games in that span. The Braves two runs were scored on a Brian McCann sac fly and a Gregor Blanco fielders choice. Kelly Johnson had 2 hits for Atlanta. They play again Friday night at 735p. Jair Jurrjens pitches for the Braves, Jason Bergman throws for the Nats. The Braves are 61-80, 18.5 games behind in the NL East.
The Redskins were pitiful last night, losing to the Giants 16-7. The defense played well after allowing a touchdown on the first drive, only allowing 3 field goals for the rest of the game. The offense was not good at all. Jason Campbell was 15 of 27 for 133 yards. Clinton Portis had an average game with 23 carries for 84 yards. Antwan Randle El had 7 catches for 73 yards. The offense had a grand total of 205 yards for the game. That will not win many games in the NFL. London Fletcher had 17 tackles and Fred Smoot had 8 tackles and an interception. Smoot was injured in the second half with a bruised back and did not return.
The biggest game in Ball State football history is tonight. The Cardinals host Navy and the game is being shown nationwide on ESPN. BSU is a 7 point favorite and the over/under is 60 1/2. This is a great chance to tell the nation about Ball State University, the town of Muncie, and the state of Indiana. GO CARDS!!!!!
