In the heat of the game: A book about the sweatiest pitcher in the National League, with the possible exception of Guillermo Mota
"I actually hit the ball," Wellemeyer thought as he sped down the first base line and slipped on the bag before recovering himself and scampering back to tag the base. The base path was wet from the steady mist that had been falling since before the game started, and as a pitcher, Todd was not used to having to run those particular ninety feet.
Here are the offensive numbers from last night:
Schumaker.....3/4, RBI
Ludwick.......2/4, 2B, RBI
Pujols........2/5, 2B, RBI
Ankiel........1/4, HR, 2-RBI
Glaus.........1/4, 2-BB, RBI
Lopez.........1/4
LaRue.........2/3, HR, 2B, 3-RBI
Wellemeyer....1/1, sac bunt, RBI
Kennedy.......0/4, reached on error
That's 13 hits and they only stranded six.
