Rex provide fireworks in 9-3 victory over Bombers

Terre Haute pounds out 16 hits in front of 1,453 fans

Andy Amey The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Sat Jul 03, 2010, 11:52 PM EDT

TERRE HAUTE — The Terre Haute Rex entertained the biggest crowd in the team’s one-month history to fireworks Saturday night, both during and after the Prospect League baseball game.

Most of the 1,453 fans at Bob Warn Field stayed for an impressive postgame holiday display, but manager Brian Dorsett and his Rex players were more entertained by their 16-hit attack that produced a 9-3 victory over the Dubois County Bombers.

“It’s nice to see [the offense],” said Dorsett, whose team had 11 runs and 13 hits a night earlier in a win over the same team on the road. “We’re getting to a spot where we understand who we are and what we are.

“I like the mind-set of our guys right now,” Dorsett continued. “Three of the last four nights we’ve really hammered the baseball.”

Dubois County starter Nick Musec, who pitches for Creighton during the Missouri Valley Conference season, looked for the most part like a pitcher sent to the mound Saturday to eat innings, regardless of the score.

When he was mercifully relieved in the sixth inning, he’d already allowed 14 hits, with Rex hitters often jumping on his first pitch and belting line drives all around the park.

Rex starter Alex Sachs, on the other hand, yielded two-out back-to-back doubles to Brad Hook and Michael Corrigan for a run in the top of the first but little after that. Although Hook and Corrigan went on to combine for a 7-for-8 night with four doubles, the Bombers couldn’t keep up with the Terre Haute offense.

The Rex got back in the game immediately in the bottom of the first when a leadoff walk to Nolan Earley and singles by Kyle Burnam, Koby Kraemer and Alex Guthrie produced a run to tie the score. And although the home team failed to break the tie after Guthrie’s hit left the bases loaded and one out, Dorsett was impressed that his hitters remained confident.

They picked up two unearned runs in the second inning on a pair of errors around a bunt single by Ray Hernandez, then continued pounding the ball in earnest in the third when five hits — including a rally-starting double by Guthrie — produced two more runs. Again the Rex left the bases loaded, but only because Bomber right fielder Tyler McNeely made a diving catch of Burnam’s two-out bid for extra bases.

McNeely also threw out Guthrie trying to score from second on Joe Meggs’ two-out single in the fourth inning to preserve a scoreless inning for Musec. But in the sixth, four more hits — including doubles by Burnam, Alex DeLeon and Jared Broughton — and a sacrifice fly by Meggs built the lead to 8-1.

Dorsett was able to substitute after that, and 11 of the 12 Rex position players used got at least one hit. Guthrie had three and Broughton and Meggs two each, with Meggs the only Rex player with more than one RBI.

The same two teams complete a three-game series at 6:05 p.m. today at Huntingburg, with the Rex having a 14-14 record one day before the league’s all-star break.

Asked how important today’s game is, Dorsett said, “That’s our goal. We said we wanted to be one game over [.500] at all-star break, so we’d have to win three in a row.

“We’re taking one pitch at a time and one game at a time, but it would be nice to have three days off and have that momentum turned.”
