Thursday, June 11th, 2009: Vipers Reliever Out
The San Antonio Vipers were dealt a serious blow when the team learned that Harry Brown was likely to be out for 1-2 weeks after he injured himself throwing a pitch in today's game against the Waco Stampede. A round of tests by the team doctors revealed the injury to be a damaged meniscus. Upon learning of their diagnosis, the San Antonio manager told the press, "As you all know, we can't control injuries--they are a part of the game. We just have to do the best we can until Harry is back in action."

This year Brown has made 24 relief appearances with no saves. In 38.2 innings, he has fanned 33 hitters and recorded 2 wins and 1 loss with a 4.19 ERA.

Monday, May 25th, 2009: Reyes Tags Vipers 5 Hits
Players get multi-hit games all the time. But a 5-hit game only comes around once in a blue moon. It happened at Eight By Eleven Park when José Reyes of Scranton scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the San Antonio Vipers.

He walloped 5 hits in 6 at-bats in his career-day performance to help the Dunderheads get by the Vipers 15-10.

In a talkative and jovial mood after the game, the second baseman of the Dunderheads exclaimed, "Whoa, my swing was really, really there today. I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens...good things happen...like 5-6. I could get used to a lot of days like this one."

J. Reyes singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off J. Bryant in the 9th.

Reyes is swinging at a .303 pace on the year with 2 home runs, 21 RBIs and 34 runs scored. He has played in 47 games.
