Rex’s bats stay hot in 7-6 win over Paints

Anonymous The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Sun Jul 18, 2010, 11:31 PM EDT

Chillicothe, Ohio — The Terre Haute Rex built a 7-3 lead by the seventh inning stretch, then held on with clutch relief pitching over the final two innings to defeat the Chillicothe Paints 7-6 in a Prospect League baseball game on Sunday night.

The Rex pounded out nine hits, five for extra bases — four doubles and a triple — to generate their seven runs.

Alex DeLeon and Alex Guthrie both drove in a pair of runs, while Chris Carlson was 2 for 4 with three runs scored

Chillicothe closed to within 7-6 by scoring three unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.

In the Paints’ seventh, Rex reliever Trevor Guston (2-2) issued a walk, then a three-base throwing error by Joel Licon plated one run.

Brandon Dorsett, struggling for the second day in a row, entered the game and promptly allowed the second run to score on a wild pitch. After getting the first out, he hit a batter, issued a walk, then hit another batter to load the bases.

The third Rex reliever of the inning, Tyler Browning got the final two outs of the inning — but one additional run scored on a sacrifice fly.

But as shaky as the seventh inning was, the Rex bullpen settled down. Browning pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Ryne Purcell picked up his seventh save with a scoreless ninth.

The Rex (8-2) return home to open a three-game homestand, beginning with a 7:05 p.m. game vs. Springfield today.

Terre Haute Rex

• Prettyman getting comfortable as boss

  At first glance, it would be easy to look at first-year Terre Haute Rex manager Ronnie Prettyman and expect him to have a difficult journey during his maiden voyage as a baseball manager.
  Managing in the Prospect League isn’t the easiest job in the world.
  Rosters change constantly, especially early in the season when players are still reporting from their college teams. The travel is arduous — a night game in far-off Quincy, Ill., could be followed by a home game, followed by a game at equally far-off Hannibal, Mo. The players have to acclimate themselves to playing every day after having played a maximum of five games a week at the college level.

• Sliders’ frustration against Rex continues

  The Springfield Sliders probably curse the departure of the Dubois County Bombers from the Prospect League more than most.
  What do the Bombers, who now ply their trade in the Ohio Valley League, have to do with the Sliders, or for that matter, the Terre Haute Rex?
  When the Bombers left the Prospect League it created a situation where the Prospect League’s West Division teams — the Rex and Sliders both being members — had one less opponent to play in intradivision play.

• Sanchez stays hot to lead Rex to victory

  Hot seems to be the right temperature for Terre Haute Rex Ricky Sanchez.
  After going 3-for-5 in the Rex win on Tuesday at Hannibal, Sanchez drove in four runs with a two hits Wednesday in Terre Haute’s 6-5 win over the same Cavemen at Bob Warn Stadium.
  The win allowed the Rex to maintain a one-game lead on Quincy in the Prospect League West Division standings.
  Sanchez, a catcher and outfielder out of Notre Dame, started the night hitting .355 and was 2-for-3 at the plate with a double.
