SP Connor Graham (Rockies) - 3 1/3 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO, W (1-0), 3.86 ERA

Getting Waldis Joaquin back on track as a starting pitcher has produced mixed results. Saturday against Honolulu Joaquin pitched five innings and allowed four runs in a loss. Roger Kieschnick seems to have made a permanent place in the middle of the Beach Boys lineup. He drove in one of Waikiki's two runs on a double.

The Sharks put the game out of reach late, scoring three runs against the Waikiki bullpen. Phillipe-Alexandre Valiquette and Rob Harmon both have ERAs over 11 in the HWB so far.

The final game of this series is Sunday afternoon. All teams are off Monday.

Scottsdale was set up for victory with an eight run rally early in the game against the Peoria Javelinas, but the big lead fell apart. The Scorpions batted around in the third inning against starter Phil Hughes. Seven runs scored with two outs. Manny Burriss scored in the inning after getting hit by a pitch. Burriss committed two errors and went hitless Saturday night. Kevin Frandsen was also hit by a pitch but he hit better than his Giants teammate, getting two base hits and an RBI.

Peoria beat up on the Scottsdale bullpen. Osiris Matos escaped without sustaining much damage. Matos allowed one run in the sixth inning. The others weren't so lucky. Jeff Sues gave up four runs, all unearned. Brad James allowed five runs without recording an out and took the loss.

Sunday is an off day for the AFL. Scottsdale hosts Phoenix Monday afternoon.
