he Milwaukee Brewers broke open a tight game in the fifth inning and cruised to a 9-1 victory on Independence Day.Tom Gorzelanny was hammered for 8 runs (7 earned ) in lasting less than five innings and dropped below .500 with the loss (6-7).
The only Pirate run came off the book rule double that was struck by Xavier Nady in the third inning.
Other than that there is very little to say nice with the exception of two scoreless mop up innings by newcomer Romulo Sanchez.
You know that it is a bad day,when that is about all that you can say that is positive.
Series continues tonight at 7.

Bullpen Notes
Looks like you can add the Los Angeles Dodgers to the list of suitors for Jack Wilson.
I am not a proponent of moving Wilson after watching the Pirates struggle with his replacements at short when he was injured earlier this year,but I would be willing to listen if the offer is right.
Veteran big leaguer Pokey Reese is currently a Hagerstown Sun.
The slick fielding former Pirate is currently on the road with the Suns,here is hoping he sticks around long enough to sign some cards on the homestand that starts Monday.
Spent the day doing something that I have not done in over ten years-attend an independent wrestling show.
I will write more on a day on the indy circuit when I can get pictures to go along with it.
Yes,the PC is still struggling,I am open to any and all ideas!
And finally,from the old homefront in Ashland Ohio,their 9th annual Wifflefest is going on.
Look for a possible Hagerstown entry next year-I know two pretty sharp pitchers that might be willing to take a shot at this title!
Until tomorrow.
