| Breaking News |  | Saturday, July 29th, 2000: Philadelphia-Mount Airy Free-for-All Gets 6-Game Suspensions
If there wasn't a history between Kevin Ingram of Philadelphia and Bob Larson of Mount Airy, then there is one now. The incident between the two sparked a bench-clearing scrum with those two being the center of attention. Now they will miss 6 games as a result of their actions. The league office announced their suspensions today.
"We're both really competitive," Ingram said later, "and sometimes things go a little too far because of it."
So far this year Ingram has 5 home runs and a .242 batting average.
Looking at his season stats, Larson has won 11 and lost 6, collecting 118 strikeouts and 50 walks in 152.1 innings with a 3.72 ERA. |
 | Thursday, July 27th, 2000: Sam Turner to Miss 7 Weeks
Sam Turner of the Mount Airy Marauders was injured in today's game against Carolina and had to be helped off the field by the trainers. The initial diagnosis is a hyperextended labrum muscle and he is expected to be out for up to 7 weeks. It happened while Turner was throwing a pitch. "It hurt a lot, to be honest. I just hope it heals soon and I can get back on the field."
In 2000, Turner has a 10-5 mark in 21 starts with a 3.55 ERA. He has given up 128 hits in 152 innings, struck out 153 and issued 43 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .225 batting average against him. |
 | Sunday, July 16th, 2000: Mount Airy Snaps O'Mulloy's Streak at 22
Late in the game Aguilas first baseman Will O'Mulloy stepped into the batter box with his 22-game hitting streak on the line. Up to then he was without a hit. Sadly it just wasn't to be -- O'Mulloy did not get a hit -- and his streak was finally over. The Marauders had stopped him, not allowing him a hit in 3 at-bats. However, Mexico City won the game 4-3.
"Winning the game took some of the disappointment out of it," O'Mulloy told reporters in the clubhouse. "Looking back on it, it was a great experience. Not too many players can say they had a hit in 22 straight games. It's something I will always remember."
In 2000 O'Mulloy has hit at a .345 clip with 96 hits, 18 home runs, 58 RBIs and has scored 48 times.
