Opening Day of the 2000 Dickens
League
Ramirez
Mannys At Giambi Jasons 4/1/2000
Jose
Lima reeled off a total of 11 strikeouts and Jason Giambi6 blasted 2
homeruns
as the Giambi Jasons man-handled the Ramirez Mannys - the final
score
was 61 to 36.
Giambi6
was spectacular at the plate. The
hometown fans showed their
appreciation
with a standing ovation his last time at bat.
He stroked a
single
which scored a run in the 1st inning, doubled in the 2nd inning,
slapped
a one-base hit plating a run in the 2nd inning, blasted a two-run
home
run in the 4th inning and electrified the crowd with a Grand Slam home
run
(his 2nd of the season) in the 4th inning.
Giambi bats were hot in the
2nd
inning when they had 17 runs on 11 hits and the 4th inning which saw them
plate
36 runs on 22 hits. Ramirez was not
lacking for run support as they
scored
in 6 separate innings, yet victory eluded them as they seemed to
forget
that pitching is also needed to win ballgames.
Lima(1-0)
went 5 and 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs for the victory. Lima(0-1)
was the
loser. He served up 14 homeruns in his
6 and 2/3 innings.
Buddy
Bell was asked about the performance of Lima, 'He had his good stuff out
there
this afternoon. The fans really get
into it when the strikeouts start
mounting
up - and that seems to give him even more adrenalin.'
