The Official Newsletter of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes

Volume 10, Issue 4 - August, 2007

 

Welcome!  After Salem-Keizer won the NWL Championship in 2006 with a record of 55-21, no one expected the Volcanoes (or anyone else) to challenge that mark this summer.  Now, that record is in jeopardy.  Mid-way through the season, the Volcanoes are 30-8, have the best record in Minor League Baseball and have opened a five-game lead in the Western Division.  Can history repeat itself?  We're about to find out.

   

 

 

VOLCANOES RACE TO THE TOP WITH EXPLOSIVE START

On a record-setting Pace

 

With a record-setting start to the 2007 season, the defending champion Salem-Keizer Volcanoes have reached the campaign's mid-point with a 30-8 mark and a five-game lead over the Eugene Emeralds (25-13).  The Volcanoes opened the season by sweeping a five-game series in Boise and later swept series against Tri-City (7/2-7/6) and Vancouver (7/11-7/13).  Salem-Keizer won 30 of its first 36 games and didn't lose consecutive games until July 26-27.

 

Under Steve Decker, National Short Season Manager of the Year in 2006, the Volcanoes lead the league in hitting (.281) and fielding (.971) and are second in pitching (3.30).  Salem-Keizer is 20-2 when scoring first and has lost only once when leading after 5 innings. 

 

After going 9-3 in June, the Volcanoes won their first eight games in July, getting solid hitting from a balanced lineup that features five players hitting better than .290 and brilliant relief pitching.  In the first 18 games in July, the Volcanoes were 16-2 and outscored opponents 103-39.  During that span, the team's starting pitchers worked 79 innings, allowed 67 hits and had a 2.28 Earned Run Average.  The Volcanoes' bullpen worked a combined 82 innings, allowed 48 hits and had an ERA of 1.32.  Combined, the staff ERA over those 18 games was 1.79.

 

The Volcanoes certainly expect to be challenged in the second half.  They'll play Eugene 11 times in the final 38 games, including a six-game home-and-home series to end the season (8/31-9/5).  The Ems make their first appearance at Volcanoes Stadium, July 31-August 2.  Salem-Keizer will host the Eastern Division leading Boise Hawks in a five-game series, August 8-12.

 

 

 

CANCER AWARENESS WEEKEND, FIREWORKS SHOWS TOP AUGUST SCHEDULE

Great schedule remains

 

The Volcanoes sixth annual Cancer Awareness recognition and celebration will be held August 10-12 when Salem-Keizer hosts Eugene.  The event-expanded to three days for the second straight year-will begin with a fireworks show following Friday night's game.  Saturday's game (which will start at 5:05 p.m.) will be followed by a concert and dance featuring the Northwest's most popular 50's and 60's oldies band, Johnny Limbo & the Lugnuts on the Stadium's new entertainment stage. The cancer survivor celebration will be held on the field prior to Sunday's game at 5:05.

 

 

The Volcanoes' first Cancer Awareness Night was initiated by Lisa Walker in 2002 after her own experience with breast cancer.  Each year, with the support of Dr. Bud Pierce and Hematology-Oncology of Salem, the event has grown larger.  In 2006, nearly 300 cancer survivors joined Lisa and the Salem-Keizer players on the field. 

 

The Volcanoes will have two additional Friday Fireworks shows in August, the first presented by Spirit Mt. Casino, August 17 and the second presented by Skyline Ford, August 31.  Three annual community outreach drives will also be held during the month.  On Wednesday, August 2, fans are encouraged to bring a new toy, book or game to the Stadium as part of Crater's Birthday Party.  Items collected will be given to local agencies to benefit needy area youngsters during the coming holiday season.

 

On Monday, August 27, the Volcanoes and Bi-Mart will collect basic school supplies to assist the Homeless Children Education Program.  More than 1,600 youngsters are supported by this initiative.  Friday, August 31, is the team's annual Food Drive with Marion/Polk Food Share.  Fans bringing three or more canned goods or non-perishable food items will receive a free baseball when they attend that night's game with Eugene.

 

A complete August-September schedule of games and events can be found later in this newsletter.

 

CASEY AT THE BAT: OSU COACH AT VOLCANOES STADIUM JULY 31ST

Here to throw out 1st pitch and sign autographs

 

"The outlook was uncertain for the Beaver Nine that day.

The PAC-10 race was ending; just ahead: U-C-L-A.

But when the dust had lifted, and the Beavs took two of three,

They were headed back to Omaha and the land of baseball dreams."

 

Pat Casey, who led Oregon State to its second consecutive College World Series championship, will be the honored guest at Volcanoes Stadium, Tuesday, July 31st when Salem-Keizer meets Eugene at 6:35.  Casey will throw out the ceremonial first pitch and sign autographs for fans that evening.

 

After winning their final 10 games and leading the Beavers to a perfect 5-0 record in the CWS, Casey was named National Coach of the Year for the second straight year by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.  He is the second coach to win the honor in consecutive seasons.  OSU was 50-18 in 2006 and 49-18 this season.  In 13 years at Oregon State, Casey's record is 440-271 (.619).

 

After losing seven position players, his top two starters (Dallas Buck and Jonah Nickerson) and his All-American closer (Kevin Gunderson) from the 2006 National Championship team, Casey's club defied the odds by returning to Omaha and winning back-to-back titles.  The Beavers accomplished this despite a sixth place finish in the PAC-10 (10-14) after claiming Conference titles in 2005 and 2006.  They were the last school selected for the 64-team tournament field.  After winning the NCAA Regional in Charlottesville, VA, Oregon State defeated Michigan, 2-0, in the Super Regionals before running the table in Omaha, recording victories over Cal St. Fullerton (3-2), Arizona State (12-6), UC Irvine (7-1) and North Carolina (11-4, 9-3).

 

OREGON STATE PITCHERS TURPEN AND PATERSON JOIN VOLCANOES

Long awaited pair coming back to Oregon

 

Oregon State teammates Daniel Turpen and Joe Paterson-the San Francisco Giants 8th and 10th round selections in the 2007 draft-have joined the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes.  By coincidence, the McMinnville residents and former teammates at McMinnville High School will make their home debut on Beavers' Baseball Night, July 31, when OSU Head Coach Pat Casey will be the team's honored guest (see earlier story).

 

Both pitchers had outstanding seasons at Oregon State.  Paterson pitched in relief in all five games of the College World Series and was named the Most Outstanding Player at the 2007 Charlottesville Regional with two wins and a save while allowing one run in 12.2 innings.  For the season, he was 10-6 with a 3.61 ERA in 26 games.  Turpen defeated UC Irvine, 7-1, in the CWS, allowing only five hits and one run in 8 innings.  He was 10-1, 3.44 in 23 games for the Beavers this spring.

 

With the announcement of nine additional signings-including Turpen and Paterson-the Giants have now signed 40 players from the 2007 First-Year Player Draft including 22 of their first 24 picks.  Heading the list of new signings is pitcher Tim Alderson (1st round, 22nd overall selection).  Alderson was considered to have the best command of any prep hurler in the country.  Pitching for Horizon High School in Scottsdale, AZ, he had a perfect 12-0 record with a 1.05 ERA and struck out 111 batters while walking only four in 73 innings.

 

The Giants have yet to sign three players from the first 25 rounds of the draft: first round selections Madison Bumgarner and Wendell Fairley and 23rd round pick Drew Bowlin.

 

Here is the complete list of San Francisco selections through the first 25 rounds of the draft.  Players in BOLD (17) have played for Salem-Keizer.

Reviewing the NWL's best of the last decade
 

With their record-setting first half, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes have posted the best record in NWL history at the mid-point of the season.  Three Boise teams (1997, '98 and 2001) had 27-11 records after 38 games.  Salem-Keizer was 25-13 halfway through last season and went 30-8 over the final 38 games on the way to a 55-21 record, the league's best since adopting the 76-game schedule.

 

The Volcanoes extraordinary start has prompted dozens of questions about how this team's record compared to the best in league history.  Listed below are the circuit's top marks at key "mileposts" since the Volcanoes inaugural season in 1997, along with Salem-Keizer's record at the same point.

 

20 Games:      Spokane          1997    16-  4               Volcanoes       2007    17-  3

30 Games:      Boise               1997    23-  7               Volcanoes       2007    25-  5

                        Vancouver      2005    23-  7

38 Games:      Boise   1997, '98, 01   27-11               Volcanoes       2007    30-  8

40 Games:      Boise   1997, 2001      29-11

50 Games:      Boise               1997    34-16  

60 Games:      Salem-Keizer  2006    42-18

70 Games:      Salem-Keizer  2006    52-18

 

The best regular season record in league history was posted by the 1982 Medford A's (53-17, .757), who were then defeated by the Salem Angels in the NWL Championship Series.  Medford's records at the "splits" were 15-5, 22-8, 30-10, 37-13 and 45-15.

RODRIGUEZ, SCHIERHOLTZ MAKE MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUTS

Volcanoes Stadium Really is "Where Giant Dreams Begin"

 

It took Guillermo Rodriguez 11 years-including three stops in Salem-Keizer-to reach the Major Leagues, but the 29-year old catcher realized his lifetime dream on June 13 when he made his big league debut with the San Francisco Giants.  In his first game, he went 1-3 with two RBI's against Toronto. 

 

Rodriguez' professional journey from Barquisimeto, Venezuela began in Bellingham in 1996, when he was 18.  He played three games and failed to get a hit.  With Salem-Keizer in 1997, he batted .231 in 11 games.  He spent most of the '98 season in the Venezuela Summer League but played one game with the Volcanoes and one with San Jose.  In 1999, Guillermo joined S-K in July after hitting .290 in 41 games at Bakersfield.  In 33 games with the Volcanoes, he hit .254 with 6 home runs and 34 RBI's while stabilizing a young pitching staff with his work behind the plate.

 

In 2002, Rodriguez finally reached Triple-A, batting .235 in 32 games for Fresno while also playing for San Jose (.362 in 42 games) and Shreveport (.268 in 13 games).  He spent 2003 in Fresno (.276, 5, 36 in 78 games) and became a free agent at the end of the season.  Signing with Detroit, he hit just .187 in 73 games for Toledo and returned to the Giants in 2005, spending most of the year in the California League with San Jose.  He began this season in Fresno and was called up when Eliezer Alfonzo suffered a serious knee injury in a home-plate collision in June.  In 14 games through July 26, Rodriguez was batting .267 (8-30) with 8 runs batted in.

 

Nate Schierholtz, who hit .306 for the Volcanoes in 2003, made his Major League debut June 11 as a defensive replacement.  He got his first start against Toronto, June 12, and went 1-4.  The Giants returned him to Fresno in early July after a 14-game trial but certainly liked what they saw.  The 23-year old outfielder batted .325 (13-40) with a double, triple and 3 RBI's.  With Fresno, Schierholtz is hitting .333, 10, 48 in 78 games and ranks fifth in the Pacific Coast League in batting.

 

Schierholtz and Rodriguez are the 40th and 41st former Volcanoes to reach the Major Leagues.

 

 

CLUBHOUSE CHAT with JERRY WALKER

Words from the Co-Owner

 

We are looking forward to a great pennant race and a tremendous home schedule of events as we head into August.  After having just 1 Saturday night home game throughout June and July, your Volcanoes will be home 4 consecutive weekends in August starting with Cancer Awareness weekend, August 10-12.  Several special events have been added to the promotional schedule including a visit by OSU Beavers Head Baseball Coach, Pat Casey (Tuesday, July 31) and Tom Allen, finance executive of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.  Mr. Allen will throw out the ceremonial first pitch, sign autographs and visit with fans on Faith and Family (Thursday, August 9).  Mr. Allen is also the executive producer and director of the film Champions of Faith:  Baseball Edition.  You can learn more about Mr. Allen and Champions of Faith by visiting their website at www.championsoffaith.com
 
August will also feature 3 Fireworks Shows on Friday, August 10, Friday, August 17, and Friday, August 31.  Another marquee event will be on Saturday, August 11, when one of the premier Rock and Roll bands in the Northwest, Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts, will entertain fans with a post-game concert.  To accommodate the 3-hour concert, Saturday's game time will be at 5:05pm -- with the concert immediately following the game.  Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts are celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year and the Volcanoes summer concert is sure to be a fun and exciting time for all.  There is no additional charge for the concert, it is included free for all fans with a ticket to the Volcanoes game on August 11.
 
Speaking about tickets, remember fans, you can save $1.00 per ticket by purchasing tickets in advance of game day.  It's easy to do so as the Volcanoes Stadium Ticket Office is open 7-days a week during the summer.  The ticket office can be reached by calling 503-390-2225 ext. 3007
 
Did you see Roof Man during the game on Thursday, July 26?  Roof Man made a spectacular debut and was a Huge Hit with fans.  Ever wonder what happens to all the foul balls that land on the Stadium roof ?  Well, we finally figured it out -- Roof Man has been getting them.  He was recently 'caught in the act', and he has now agreed to start tossing the balls back to fans.  He did so, to a thunderous ovation, during the July 26 game -- in addition he launched T-shirts to the delight of fans.  Look for Roof Man to make a return appearance next homestand !!
 
A large event is being planned for Volcanoes Stadium during the off-season.  Rosary Bowl NW will be held at Volcanoes Stadium on Saturday, October 6.  A similar event was held in May at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and drew nearly 50,000 people.  The Rosary Bowl NW will feature guest reflections by Pat Casey, Head Coach for the OSU National Championship Baseball team and Alberto Salazar, two time Olympian and marathon runners, live Christian music by Donna Cori Gibson and Michael John Poirier, community resource tables, Prayer of the Rosary - Joyful Mysteries.  For more information and free Rosary Bowl NW tickets visit www.rosarybowlnw.org
