| Breaking News |  | Thursday, September 11th, 2008: Holy Rollers Reliever Hurt
"I'm frustrated right now," said Las Vegas reliever José García. "I can't help this team by sitting on the bench or in the training room." Unfortunately for the Holy Rollers, that's where he will be spending the next 2 weeks. García suffered dead arm syndrome in today's game against Stamford while throwing a pitch. "Believe me," he said, "I won't be out a day longer than I have to be."
In 2008 García has 31 relief appearances, saving 4. His record is 0-3 with 53 strikeouts in 68 innings and a 4.50 ERA.

Summing up his batting philosophy to SION writers after the game, Somin said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."
K. Somin hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, walked in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 9th and hit a three-run home run off G. Martin in the 9th.
