Notes and Comments

(1) Here is what the commentator said
(A) "That '3-2' pitch is crushed deep into rightfield --- and there it goes!!!"
(B) "And that is another home run for Brett Roneberg
giving him three in three days and twelve for the season"

(2) "Brett Roneberg then hit his 12th home run of the season
- and third in as many days - in the eighth inning

(3) "Jeff Bailey hit a two-run double, Brett Roneberg homered
and Chris Smith pitched 6-2/3 strong innings as the Portland Sea Dogs
defeated the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 7-2 Sunday in the Eastern League
After the Fisher Cats (28-27) scored their second run
on Singleton´s RBI triple in the seventh, the Sea Dogs added two
in the bottom of the inning and
Roneberg´s team-leading 12th homer of the season made it 7-2 in the eighth"

(4) "Brett Roneberg homered for the third straight game
Then came Roneberg's eighth-inning blast, into the wind
and over the right-field fence
On May 17, Portland was 10 games below .500 (13-23)
The Sea Dogs have gone 13-6 since
"Our pitching struggled and our hitting was not doing any good," Roneberg said
"Hitting is contagious and, I guess, so is pitching
Our starting pitching has been great."
Roneberg is tied for third in the league with 12 home runs
Reading's Ryan Howard leads with 15
Roneberg leads the team with 38 RBI"

(5) "But the Sea Dogs added two in the bottom of the 7th,
and one in the bottom of the 8th on Brett Roneberg's homer
Roneberg's homer was his 12th of the season,
and fifth this year against the Fisher Cats"

(6) "Boston Red Sox Minor League Report - June 7th
With wins in seven of their last 10 contests, the Sea Dogs have pulled themselves
out of last place in the Eastern League's Northern Division standings
Brett Roneberg led the charge this past week,
going 7- for-24 with three home runs and six RBI
He now leads the club in batting average (.295), home runs (12) and RBI (38)"
