Loewen on point in Arizona Fall League
10/28/2005
The Surprise Scorpions got to Adam Loewen on Oct. 25. The Scorpions produced more runs and as many hits off the left-hander in that one game as he had given up in three previous AFL starts.
Not to worry, though. Loewen earned the win after allowing two runs -- one earned, the first he has allowed this season -- on three hits in five innings. Loewen is 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA and opposing hitters are batting .115 against him.
Loewen and six other Orioles prospects are playing for the Javelinas. One other Orioles prospect joined the Surprise Scorpions last week. Here's how they fared during the week of Oct. 21-27:
RHP Andy Mitchell -- Mitchell had a big outing on Oct. 21, when he pitched three scoreless innings, allowing the Javelinas to get the tying run against the Saguaros in a game they eventually won, 8-7. He gave up two runs in one inning in his next outing on Oct. 25 against the Scorpions, but his ERA is 3.29 in 13 2/3 innings.
RHP Cory Morris -- Morris was pitching well, with a 3.86 ERA in four relief appearances, but the right-hander hasn't pitched since giving up two runs in two innings against the Saguaros on Oct. 15.
C Ryan Hubele -- After seeing limited time with the Javelinas, Hubele was moved to the Surprise Scorpions after Ryan Budde suffered a knee injury. Hubele was 4-for-9 in four games with the Javelinas and went 5-for-11 with one home run, three RBIs and four runs scored in three games with the Scorpions last week.
SS Brandon Fahey -- Fahey drove in four runs on Oct. 26, but the Javelinas had their seven-game winning streak snapped by the Solar Sox, 8-5. Fahey had a run-scoring single in the third inning and drove in a run with a groundout in the fifth. He added a two-run single in the ninth.
3B Tripper Johnson III -- Johnson had his best game of the AFL season on Oct. 25 in a 12-2 victory over Surprise. He went 3-for-3 with his first home run, a solo shot in the sixth. Johnson had four RBIs and two runs scored. He doubled home a run as part of the seven-run first inning and had a run-scoring single in the second.
OF Val Majewski -- Majewski had hits in his last four games to raise his average to .326, the first time he's been above .300 since Oct. 11. Majewski also cracked his first home run of the season, going 3-for-4 with a solo dinger in an 8-3 victory over Mesa on Oct. 27.
OF Nick Markakis -- Markakis continued to pound the ball last week, extending his hitting streak to nine games while raising his average to .400. Markakis had a perfect day at the plate during a 12-2 victory over Surprise on Oct. 25. He went 3-for-3 with three singles, three runs scored and a walk.
