| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, June 7th, 1977: Lightning Chill Bosquet's Hot Streak
Buzz second baseman Osvaldo Bosquet was one of the hottest hitters in baseball, coming into today's game against Latrobe with a 23-game hitting streak. However, the Lightning put a chill in his bat, at least for today, and held him hitless in 4 at-bats during the Latrobe 5-4 triumph at Terrapin Station.
Bosquet is hitting .325 this year with 4 home runs, 22 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He has 40 hits in 123 at-bats, 10 walks and a .373 on-base percentage. Bosquet has played in 31 games. |
| Thursday, June 2nd, 1977: Bosquet Boosts Hit Streak to 20 Games
Osvaldo Bosquet's consecutive-game hitting streak has now climbed to 20 games. The Vienna second baseman smacked 1 hit against Purcellville in today's game at Terrapin Station to extend it, but he has mixed emotions about it.
After losing to the Purcellville Peacocks, Bosquet told reporters, "I feel good about the streak, but don't feel good when we lose."
O. Bosquet hit an RBI single in the 1st, grounded out in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and struck out in the 8th.
In 1977 Bosquet is batting .333 with 4 home runs and 21 RBIs. |
 | Tuesday, May 10th, 1977: Rothermel Twirls Shutout
Allan Rothermel of the Bowie Knives was on top of his game today. He tantalized the Vienna Buzz with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 9-0 shutout.
In the postgame comments, the Vienna skipper said, "He had the changeup working. You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."
The Bowie hurler had 7 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 4 hits in his complete game effort.
Rothermel told reporters after the game, "To be successful in this league, you have to keep the ball down. If you don't, they'll make you pay."
This year Rothermel has 3 wins and 2 losses and a 3.66 ERA.
