TIME: 2:54 ATT: 4,327 |
| The Albuquerque Isotopes and Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) contest was suspended after
5 1/2 innings of play with the Isotopes leading 5-4 due to travel concerns on April 12th. There was a snowstorm
heading for the Midwestern United States and the Isotopes were trying to catch a flight to Omaha before
the storm arrived, while Iowa had to catch a flight to Des Moines in time
for their home opener. The game was resumed on July 1st and the Cubs wasted no time
taking the lead off of the newest of Isotopes, Taylor Tankersley, as the I-Cubs
defeated Albuquerque 10-7. |
| In the 3rd inning, John Gall singled to center field with two outs, stole second
base, and scored on Scott Seabol's single to center field as the Isotopes got on the scoreboard first. |
| Iowa tied up the game in the top of the 4th inning - Felix Pie reached on an error
and scored on Micah Hoffpauir's double to center field. |
| Albuquerque regained the lead in the home half of the frame. Robert Andino
doubled to center field, advanced to third base on Wes Obermueller's sacrifice bunt, and scored on
Josh Labandeira's single to center field. |
| Albuquerque extended the lead in the 5th inning. With one out, Val Pascucci
doubled to center field and Paul Hoover followed with a homer to left field. Reggie Abercrombie stepped
up to the plate and delivered a homer to left field for Albuquerque's first back-to-back homers of the season. |
| Iowa got those three runs back in the 6th inning. Eric Patterson and Pie singled to lead
off the inning and Hoffpauir reached on an error to load the bases. Scott Moore singled to center field
to drive in Patterson and Pie. Hoffpauir advanced to third base on a flyout by Geovany Soto and scored
on Buck Coats' sacrifice flyout to right field. After the Cubs finished batting in the 6th inning, the game
was suspended with the Isotopes leading 5-4. |
| The Isotopes went rather quietly in the home half of the 6th inning after play resume. In the 7th inning,
Tankersley was on the mound when Iowa came up for their first at-bat of the resumed game. Ronny Cedeno
walked, Matt Murton doubled and Hoffpauir followed with a homer as Iowa led 7-5. |
| Iowa added three more runs in the 9th inning. Chris Walker walked, stole second
base and Cedeno singled. Eric Patterson's bunt single drove in Walker and Murton's single brought
home Cedeno. Patterson eventually scored on Geovany Soto's single. |
| Albuquerque added their final two runs in the bottom of the 9th inning. With two outs,
Abercrombie singled, took second base on defensive indifference, and scored on Andino's single. Andino
advanced to second base on another case of defensive indifference and scored on Eric Reed's triple Reed
was stranded at third base when Labandeira struck out to end the game. |

| After spotting the Iowa Cubs a 4-0 lead, the Isotopes plated the next seven runs
and went on to defeat the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) 8-6 on Saturday evening at Isotopes Park. The
victory snapped a four-game losing skid. |
| Isotopes probable starter Jeff Fulchino was injured in pre-game warmups, forcing
Kenny Baugh to make the very emergency start for Albuquerque. Baugh gave up a game leadoff double
to Eric Patterson and Ronny Cedeno followed with a homer as Iowa led 2-0 before even being put
out for the first time in the game. |
| Iowa added to thei lead in the 3rd inning. Micah Hoffpauir doubled and
scored on Buck Coats' single. Coats was erased from the basepaths when Josh Kroeger reached
on a fielders choice and Scott Moore tripled to drive in Kroeger. |
| In the home half of the 3rd inning, Eric Reed ground-rule doubled with two outs,
advanced to third base on a wild pitch, and scored on John Gall's single. Val Pascucci doubled to drive in
Gall. |
| In the 4th inning, Andrew Beattie walked, Reggie Abercrombie was hit by a pitch, both
runners advanced into scoring position on John Baker's groundout and Isotopes starter Baugh lifted
a sacrifice fly to bring Beattie home. |
| Albuquerque took the lead in the 5th inning. Reed doubled and advanced to third
base on an error during a pickoff play. Pascucci was hit by a pitch and Scott Seabol singled to drive
in Reed. Beattie singled to drive in Pascucci and Abercrombie walked to load the bases before a wild
pitch brought Seabol and Beattie home. |
| Iowa's Cedeno homered with Patterson on base in the 6th inning as Iowa cut
the defecit to a run at 7-6. |
| Albuquerque scored the final run of the game in the 8th inning - Josh Labandeira
reached on a fielder's choice and scored on Robert Andino's double. |

|
| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2005,
Donovan Osborne made his Isotopes debut and tossed 6 inings of 2 run ball, but got the no-decision
in Albuquerque's 6-2 victory over the Omaha Royals (AAA Royals) in Omaha. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Late Saturday evening, the Marlins recalled P Lee Gardner from Albuquerque and optioned P
Taylor Tankersley to the Isotopes. Tankersley will come to Albuquerque looking to regain
his form since he has been struggling recently with the Marlins. . . .
Albuquerque finished June with a 13-15 record (10-6 at home, 3-9 on the road). The Isotopes swiped 18
bags during the month and belted 26 homers. . . .
Kenny Baugh drove in the first run by an Isotopes pitcher since Jeff Fulchino drove in a run on
May 23rd. . . .
Roy Corcoran became the seventh Isotope to record a save this season. . . .
By allowing a homer in tonight's contest, Isotopes pitching tied a franchise record by allowing a homer
in 10 straight games. The record was established during the 2003 season. . . .
Iowa's Eric Patterson was a homer shy of hitting for the cycle. . . .
Cubs starter John Webb was ejected by home plate umpire Casey Moser after hitting
Val Pascucci with a pitch in the 5th inning. . . .
When the Isotopes and Cubs take the field on Sunday afternoon in near triple-digit heat, it will
be to complete a game suspended between the two clubs in April. Pitching probables in the
regularly scheduled game that follows are LHP Paul Mildren (4-6, 5.81) for the Isotopes and
LHP Ryan O'Malley (3-6, 7.61) for the I-Cubs.

|
| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, the
game between the Omaha Royals (AAA Royals) and Isotopes at Isotopes Park was delayed 1 hour and 57 minutes
due to rain. Once the game started, Isotopes starter Renyel Pinto allowed 7 runs in the first 3 innings,
but the Isotopes scored 9 unanswered runs and won 10-7. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
In Isotopes transaction news, P Jesus Silva was transferred from Class-A Jupiter to Albuquerque
and P Chris George was transferred from Albuquerque to Class-A Jupiter. P Ben Julianel was
activated from the disabled list and P Nate Field went on the disabled list. . . .
Tonight's game marked Nashville's last contest in Albuquerque in 2007. In addition to sweeping the three
game series, Nashville took five out of the seven games played at Isotopes Park this season. 22,181
fans attended the series for a per-game average of 7,394. . . .
Robert Andino went 0x4 to snap a 15-game hitting streak. . . .
John Gall was a triple short of hitting for the cycle. . . .
The Isotopes were outscored 28-11 in the series against Nashville and the Sounds handed the
Isotopes their first been-swept series of the season, and first since the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs)
swept the Isotopes at Isotopes Park in July 2006. . . .
Scott Seabol has homered in the last three contests, tying a Isotope season-high with Val Pascucci
who homered in three straight games in May. . . .
In his Isotopes debut, Jesus Silva did a good job of saving the Isotopes bullpen from excessive work,
eating up innings. Silva pitched 5 2/3 innings, a season high for an Isotope reliever and was one out
shy of tying the franchise record. . . .
Albuquerque opens up a four-game series against the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) on Saturday evening
at Isotopes Park. The series will also feature the completion of a suspended game from April,
scheduled to occur on Sunday. Pitching probables in the opener are RHP Jeff Fulchino (6-2, 5.83)
for the Isotopes and RHP John Webb (2-5, 5.22) for the I-Cubs.

NSH Tim Dillard (1) off Erasmo Ramirez in the 7th inning
ABQ Scott Seabol (17) off Chris Oxspring in the 5th inning |
TIME: 3:07 ATT: 6,641 |
| For the first six innings, the Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers) and Isotopes
matched run for run in each inning scored. In the 7th inning, the Sounds were tired of playing that
game, plating six runs that the Isotopes were unable to match en route to a 11-6 victory over the Isotopes. The Isotopes have dropped
three straight games. |
| In the 1st inning, Nashville's Callix Crabbe walked with one out and scored on
Laynce Nix's double. Former Isotope Joe Dillon singled to drive in Nix as the Sounds led 2-0. |
| In the home half of the 1st inning, Robert Andino tripled and scored on Eric
Reed's sacrifice flyout. John Gall singled and scored on Val Pascucci's double as the Isotopes tied the game. |
| The Sounds regained the lead in the 3rd inning. Nix doubled, Dillon walked, and both
scored on Brad Nelson's double to center field. |
| In the Isotopes half of the 3rd inning, Reed tripled and scored on Gall's groundout. Pascucci
walked, Scott Seabol singled, and Andrew Beattie grounded out with Pascucci scoring. |
| The Sounds and Isotopes swapped homers in the 5th inning (Nix for
Nashville and Seabol for Albuquerque) as the game remained knotted at 5-5. |
| Nashville put away the game in the 7th inning. Crabbe doubled, Nix reached on an error,
and Dillon walked to load the bases. Vinny Rottino singled to drive in Crabbe and Nelson singled to
drive in Nix and Dillon. An out later, Ozzie Chavez sacrifice flied out to drive in Rottino and Sounds
reliever Tim Dillard followed with a homer to left field as the Sounds led 11-5. |
| Albuquerque scored their final run of the game in the 8th inning. Reggie
Abercrombie singled, advanced to second base on defensive indifference, and scored on pinch-hitter
Chad Hermansen's single. |

|
| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, the
Isotopes got two victories on this day. In the completion of a suspended game at Isotopes Park, Paul Hoover's 9th inning
homer gave Albuquerque a 6-5 victory over the Omaha Royals (AAA Royals). In the regularly scheduled
game, Chris Ashby's RBI single in the 8th inning snapped a 5-5 tie and Albuquerque held on to beat
the Royals 6-5. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
P Ross Wolf was activated from the Disabled List on Thursday. . . . The PCL and IL rosters
are a separate news item. Scott Seabol became the first Isotope to be named an All-Star twice, but
this year's game will be his first appearance if he is still eligible to play. Last season, Seabol was named
but did not play as he became ineligible to play in the All-Star game since Seabol accepted a contract to
play in Korea. If Robert Andino appears in the game, he will become the first Isotope to make an
appearance in two All-Star contests - Andino was Seabol's replacement last season. . . .
Robert Andino's first inning triple extended his hitting streak to 15 games, establishing a club season-high. Andino
also became the first Isotope in 2007 to record 100 hits. . . .
Every Isotope starter had a hit in the contest. . . .
Scott Seabol has homered in back-to-back games. . . .
The Sounds and Isotopes close out the series on Friday evening. Pitching probables are RHP
Seth Etherton (0-1, 7.71) for the Isotopes and LHP Zach Jackson (8-3, 4.75) for the Sounds.

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2003, Robert
Stratton was named the first Isotopes All-Star representative. In the game, Albuquerque built a 7-0 lead
and held off the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Astros in 2003) 7-6 in a game played in Metarie, Louisiana. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
In Isotopes transaction news, P Nic Ungs was placed on the disabled list and P Paul Mildren was
activated off the disabled list to make tonight's start. The Marlins placed IF Aaron Boone on the
major-league disabled list and purchased the contract of OF Todd Linden from the Isotopes. . . .
Albuquerque is grateful to be saying goodbye to Principal Park, having lost three games in this series
and concluded the season series in Des Moines having lost six out of eight games played there. Iowa visits Albuquerque at the end of the upcoming homestand to complete a suspended
game and finish the season series between the two clubs with a four-game series. . . .
Iowa outscored Albuquerque 37-16 in the series. . . .
Robert Andino's 8th inning single extended his hitting streak to 13 games. . . .
After turning the first triple play in franchise history in May, the Isotopes grounded into their first triple
play in franchise history this evening. In the 6th inning with Andrew Beattie on 2nd base and Robert
Andino on 1st base, Reggie Abercrombie's liner was caught by former-Isotope (current Cubs reliever) Ben Howard.
Howard threw the ball to shortstop Ronny Cedeno to double off Beattie and Cedeno threw the ball
to first baseman Micah Hoffpauir to triple off Andino to complete the triple play. . . .
The start of the contest was delayed 24 minutes due to weather. . . .
If you believe was the local press was writing about Paul Mildren before his disabled list stint,
Mildren might have pitched himself off the Marlins 40-man roster with tonight's outing. . . .
Iowa's Buck Coats was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. . . .
Albuquerque returns home for an rare 7-game homestand. The first three games are against the
Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers). RHP Daniel Barone (2-0, 1.93) is expected to make his third
Triple-A start for the Isotopes and face knuckleballer RHP R.A. Dickey (5-4, 5.00). |

Albuquerque scored more runs in tonight's game (5) than they did in the first two games of the
series (3). . . .
The victory snaps a five-game losing streak at Principal Park. . . .
Robert Andino singled to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. Andino is two games
away from tying the longest Isotope hitting streak of the season (Val Pascucci's 14 games). . . .
Perfect game in the PCL! Manny Parra, making his second PCL start, tossed a perfect game as
the Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers) defeated the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros) 3-0 at Dell Diamond

Nashville hurled a perfect game against the Isotopes in Nashville on April 7, 2003. . . .
Brian Barden of the Tucson Sidewinders (AAA Diamondbacks) is the PCL Hitter of the Week. Barden hit
.652 (15x23) for the week with 2 homers and 11 RBI. Barden is in the midst of an eight-game hitting
streak that has raised his average 60 points. . . . John Webb of the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) is the
PCL Pitcher of the Week. Webb tossed eight innings of shutout ball, surrendering 3 hits in winning
his only start of the week against Nashville. Webb was named as the award winner before tonight's contest, then
showed he wasn't much of a award winner tonight, allowing 5 runs (4 earned) and 9 hits in 6 innings tonight. . . .

tossed 6 splendid innings of relief and Ryan Jorgensen and Derek Wathan (inside the park) homered in
the 7-3 victory over the Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA Rangers). |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The shakeup of the Isotopes roster continued on Sunday. The Marlins signed P Erasmo "Eraser"
Ramirez to a minor league contract and assigned him to Albuquerque. Ramirez is a veteran of
having pitched at Isotopes Park with many games appeared in as a reliever with the Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA
Rangers). Ramirez, a major league veteran of 38 relief appearances mostly with the Rangers,
began the 2007 campaign with the Athletics Triple-A club in Sacramento. While the Albuquerque
bullpen picked up a quality Triple-A veteran reliever, reliever Matt Yourkin was transferred to Class-AA Carolina
along with IF Frank Moore. With Seth Etherton joining the Isotopes rotation, it make the situation easier
for P Ricardo Rodriguez to be released. . . .
Robert Andino extended his hitting streak to 11 games with the 8th inning RBI single. . . .
Hitting Coach Steve Phillips lost all three games while at the helm of the club while Dean
Treanor was away from the team attending his son's wedding. Phillips' current record as
replacement manager is 3-4. . . .
Pitching probales for Monday's contest are RHP Jeff Fulchino (5-2, 6.04) for the Isotopes and RHP
John Webb (2-4, 5.13) for the I-Cubs.

| 'TOPES NOTES:
In Isotopes transaction news, the Marlins signed P Seth Etherton a minor league contract. After
an outing at Class-A Jupiter, Etherton has been transferred to Albuquerque and will make his
Isotopes debut on Sunday afternoon against the I-Cubs. Etherton is a Triple-A veteran and has even
made 23 Major League starts with four different clubs. OF Reggie Abercrombie should definitely be
coming to the Isotopes this time, having been optioned from the Marlins when the Marlins activated
IF Mike Jacobs from the disabled list. Abercrombie was optioned to Albuquerque last week, landed in
Albuquerque, and then was recalled by the Marlins when the Marlins management decided to option
P Lee Gardner instead. Corresponding moves to free up room on the Isotopes active roster will be announced
when the two players report. . . .
The lone Isotope highlight of the game was Robert Andino managing a single in four at-bats to keep
his hitting steak alive (10 games). . . .
Chris George went one out into the contest before his consecutive innings streak without having
given up an earned run ended at 14 2/3 innings. George took over the team lead in losses with 6
and established an Isotopes franchise record with 11 earned runs given up by a starter in a game. . . .
Albuquerque has lost their last four contests played at Principal Park. . . .
14,269 was the second largest crowd in Principal Park history and the largest road crowd
the Isotopes have played in front of in 2007. . . .
Iowa's Anthony Richie was a triple short of hitting for the cycle. . . .
Sunday afternoon's game in Des Moines is a matchup of pitchers making their season debuts for
their respective clubs - RHP Seth Etherton (0-0, -.--) for the Isotopes and RHP Sean Gallagher (0-0, -.--)
for the I-Cubs.

TIME: 3:10 ATT: 13,066 |
| In front of a capacity crowd, the Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA Rangers) took advantage
of a pair of Isotopes miscues to rally to defeat Albuquerque 3-2 in the series opener. The loss snapped
Albuquerque's four-game winning streak. |
| In the 1st inning, Eric Reed singled with one out, stole second base, advanced to
third base on Todd Linden's groundout, and scored on one of the most exciting plays in baseball, a
steal of home plate. |
| Oklahoma tied up the game in the 3rd inning. Freddy Guzman singled, stole
second and third bases, and scored on Nelson Cruz's flyout to center field. |
| Albuquerque regained the lead in the 5th inning. Robert Andino singled, took
second base on a passed ball, and scored two outs later on Val Pascucci's single to left field. |
| Oklahoma rallied for the win in the 9th inning with the help of the Isotopes. Albuquerque
closer Nate Field entered the ballgame and the first batter, Kevin Mahar, reached on Robert Andino's
throwing error. Dave Matranga laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Mahar to second base and Mahar
advanced to third base on a passed ball. Chris Stewart singled to drive in Mahar and after a groundout,
Tug Hulett singled to put runners on the corners. Jason Botts was intentionally walked to load the bases
and Nate Gold reached on Scott Seabol's fielding error as Stewart raced home with the game winning run for the
Redhawks. |

|
| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2005, the
Isotopes trailed the Memphis Redbirds (AAA Cardinals) 6-0 going into the 9th inning at Autozone Park
in Memphis. Chris Aguila's grand-slam homered capped a comeback to tie the game at 6-6 and in
the 11th inning, Jason Wood lifted a sacrifice fly to plate the eventual game winning run in Albuquerque's 7-6
victory. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
In an Isotopes move today, P Kenny Baugh was transferred from Class-A Jamestown to Albuquerque (a
paper move in make Baugh active to start tonight) and P Mauro Zarate was transferred
to Class-AA Carolina. . . .
Eric Reed was the first Isotope to steal home plate since Kevin Hooper accomplished the feat on
May 13, 2004 at Salt Lake (AAA Angels). . . .
You would think 6 Isotopes stolen bases in the game could be a franchise record, but it is
two short of the franchise record set in a game in New Orleans in 2003. . . . Speed was king in the
contest as there were 10 stolen bases by both the Isotopes and Redhawks in the game,
including three players who stole a pair of bases in the same inning (Reed and Chad Hermansen
for Albuquerque and Freddy Guzman for Oklahoma). . . .
Robert Andino had a pair of singles to extend his hitting streak to 7 games. . . .
Nate Field's defeat tonight snapped a four-game winning decision streak, one shy of tying a franchise
record for consecutive wins. . . .
Pitching probables for the second game out of the rare three-game set are RHP Daniel Barone
(1-0, 1.13) for the Isotopes and LHP John Koronka (5-3, 4.42) for the Redhawks.

ALB Val Pascucci (20) off Jared Gothreaux in the 1st inning |
TIME: 3:09 ATT: 6,152 |
| The Isotopes had to work hard for their steak dinner on Monday evening. Leading
5-2 going into the 6th inning, the Isotopes had to hold off the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros) for a 7-5
victory to earn their first series sweep of the season. The last out of the contest marked the
halfway point of the 2007 campaign for the Isotopes (37-34 record with one suspended game yet to
be completed). |
| Round Rock grabbed a brief lead in the 1st inning. Josh Anderson led off the game
with a walk and stole second base. Jason Lane walked and Cody Ransom reached on an error while
Anderson scored. Mark Saccomanno singled to bring home Lane to give the E-train a 2-0 lead. |
| Robert Andino singled, Todd Linden was hit by a pitch, and Val Pascucci blasted
a homer to left field in the home half of the 1st inning as Albuquerque took a 3-2 lead. |
| In the 3rd inning, Linden singled and eventually scored on a Andrew Beattie
sacrifice flyout, and in the 4th inning, Eric Reed tripled and scored on Linden's triple as the Isotopes
extended the lead to 5-2. |
| The Express and Isotopes swapped single runs in the 6th inning. Ransom homered for
the Express, while Andino tripled and scored on Reed's single for the Isotopes. |
| Albuquerque plated their final run in the 7th inning. Pascucci singled and Chad Hermansen
and Chris Ashby drew walks to load the bases. Scott Seabol's base on balls allowed Pascucci to trot
home to make it 7-3 Albuquerque. |
| Round Rock plated the final two runs of the ballgame in the 8th inning - Ransom walked ahead of
Saccomanno's homer to left field. |

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, a rarity
went for naught as Isotopes reliever Joe Horgan allowed 4 runs in the 8th inning in Albuquerque's
5-4 loss to the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) in Des Moines. The rarity was Eric Reed homering, his first
homer of the 2006 season and only the second homer for him at the Triple-A level. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Chris George earned the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week award, the third Isotope in franchise
history to win a weekly pitching award. George won both of his starts for the week, allowing
no earned runs in 14 innings while striking out 12. . . .
The Marlins had a change of heart on Monday. After optioning OF Reggie Abercrombie to the Isotopes
on Sunday and after Abercrombie's plane landed in Albuquerque, the Marlins decided they would rather have
Abercrombie back and instead optioned P Lee Gardner to the 'Topes. . . .
39,362 fans came through the Isotopes Park turnstiles during the series with the Express for
a per-game average of 9,841. It was a great 12-game homestand for the Isotopes, both on the field (9-3
record) and through the gates (92,883 fans). . . .
Albuquerque tied a franchise record with three triples in the game. . . .
The Isotopes are tied for season highs in home winning streak (4 games) and games above
the .500 mark (3 games). . . .
Albuquerque outscored the Express in the series 33-12 and the series sweep was the first for
Albuquerque against any club since last June. . . .
After homering in his last three games started, Andrew Beattie failed to homer in tonight's contest. . . .
Adam Jones of the Tacoma Rainiers (AAA Mariners) is the PCL Hitter of the Week. Jones
hit .387 (12x31) with 3 homers and 7 RBI for the week. . . .
The Isotopes have Tuesday off before beginning an eight-game roadtrip on Wednesday. Pitching
probables for Wednesday evening's roadtrip opener in Oklahoma against the Redhawks (AAA Rangers)
are RHP Kenny Baugh (2-4, 5.92) for the Isotopes and LHP John Koronka (5-3, 4.42) for the Redhawks.

offensively with a two-run single as the Isotopes defeated the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros)
5-1. Albuquerque has won three straight games with the victory. |
| Robert Andino led off the 1st inning by smacking a double off of the center field wall,
just a few feet shy of a leadoff homer. After Josh Labandeira grounded out, Chad Hermansen singled
into center field to bring Andino home. Val Pascucci doubled to the right field wall before Scott Seabol
singled to center field to bring Hermansen and Pascucci home to give Albuquerque a 3-0 lead. |
| Albuquerque added their final runs of the game in the 6th inning. Hermansen tripled off
the right field wall and scored on Todd Linden's double down the left field line. Seabol and John Baker
drew walks to load the bases and Eric Reed sacrifice flied out to center field to bring home Linden. |
| With Harvey Garcia in the game to relieve George in the 8th inning, the Express
were able to avoid being shut out. Mark Saccomanno drew a one out walk and advanced to second base
on a wild pitch. Saccomanno moved on to third base on a groundout and scored on Mike Rodriguez's
single to center field. |

former-Isotope Les Walrond dominated his former team, allowing a run in 7 innings in the Iowa
Cubs (AAA Cubs) 3-2 victory over Albuquerque in Des Moines. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
OF Brett Carroll has climbed quite a ladder in 2007. Starting the season with the Class-AA Carolina
Mudcats, Carroll worked his way to Albuquerque for 33 games (6 homers, 28 RBI and a .302
average). On Saturday, Carroll earned the promotion to the Marlins to be the starting center fielder when the Marlins purchased
his contract from Albuquerque. Carroll made his MLB debut against the Kansas
City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday and went 0x3, grounding out twice, striking out once, and
laying down a sacrifice bunt. With Josh Johnson coming off the disabled list for the Marlins, the Marlins optioned OF
Reggie Abercrombie to Albuquerque. . . .
Albuquerque has won their last six games against the Express. . . .
Chris George has tossed 14.1 consecutive innings without having given up an earned run. . . .
Albuquerque is expected to send RHP Jeff Fulchino (4-2, 6.31) to the mound on Monday night
as the Isotopes hope to achieve their first series sweep of the season. Round Rock is expected to counter
wtih RHP Jared Gothreaux (4-4, 5.07).

TIME: 2:44 ATT: 14,547 |
| Daniel Barone was splendid in his Triple-A debut, allowing 3 hits and a solo homer

Scott Sanders tossed eight innings of six-hit, one run ball in Albuquerque's 7-1 victory over the
Portland Beavers (AAA Padres) at Isotopes Park. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Isotopes currently have a four-game winning streak against the Express. Tonight's victory
snapped a three-game losing streak against the E-train at Isotopes Park. . . .
Albuquerque banged out a season-high 18 hits in the game, led by Brett Carroll with four hits,
his first four-hit game of the season. . . .
The 'Topes tied a season-high with an eight-run winning margin. . . .
Scott Seabol tied a franchise record with a pair of triples in the game, a feat originally
accomplished by Wilson Valdez in the 2003 Isotopes inaugural season. . . .
The umpiring crew for the 2007 Triple-A All-Star game in Albuquerque was announced. PCL
umpire Ramon Armendariz is the home plate umpire and fellow PCL umpire Shawn Rakos will
be manning second base. International League umpire Joe Judkowitz will work first base and
International League umpire Adrian Johnson's assignment will be third base. . . .
RHP Daniel Barone is expected to be promoted from Class-AA Carolina to make his
Triple-A debut with the Isotopes in game two of the series on Saturday evening. Former major-leaguer Chan Ho Park
will be making his second starting appearance at Isotopes Park. Park previously made a start for
the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets) against Albuquerque at "The Lab", but on Saturday night he'll
make his Express debut after the Astros recently claimed Park off the free agent wire.

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2004,
Joe Dillion celebrated being named the PCL Hitter of the Week by hitting for the cycle in Albuquerque's
11-9 victory over the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) at Isotopes Park. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Isotopes and Redhawks split the series 2-2. 19,376 fans attended for a per-game average of 6,459. . . .
After scoring 11 runs in the first game of the series, Albuquerque only came up with five runs in
the other three games of the series. . . .
Albuquerque pitching was overall pretty good - allowing a season-low 3 hits in the contest. Baugh was
not so good in a sense, allowing a franchise record-tying 7 walks in the game. . . .
Todd Linden went hitless in three at-bats, his first contest in five games without a hit since
joining the Isotopes. . . .
Scott Seabol went hitless in two at-bats to snap an 11 game hitting streak. . . .
Albuquerque has not been very good in the last game of a series (5-11) or on Thursdays (2-8). . . .
The Isotopes left a season high 13 runners on base. . . .
The Round Rock Express (AAA Astros) come to town for a weekend series that concludes Albuquerque's
season-longest homestand. Pitching probables in Friday evening's opener are RHP Ricardo Rodriguez
(1-3, 6.75) for the Isotopes and RHP Juan Gutierrez (3-6, 4.13) for the Express.

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2005, Chris
Aguila had a part in all three Isotope runs in a 3-2 victory over the Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers)
in Nashville. Aguila solo-homered as well as hit the deep fly ball to center field that was dropped
for a two-base error which allowed a pair of runs to score on the play). |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
P Mauro Zarate is back with the Isotopes, having been transferred from Class-AA Carolina to
Albuquerque when P Lee Gardner was recalled by the Marlins on Wednesday. . . .
Albuquerque has split their last six doubleheaders dating back to 2004. . . .
Reliever Nate Field appears to be in the middle of everything for Albuquerque this season. Not
only does Field lead the club in saves (9), he also leads the club in victories (6) and is on the
verge of tying an Isotope franchise record for consecutive winning decisions. . . .
Scott Seabol singled to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. . . .
The Isotopes may be playing a series every other year in Reno beginning in 2009. Tucson Baseball,
LLC (ownership group of the Tucson Sidewinders - AAA Diamondbacks) announced they have sold
the franchise for $13.5 million dollars to SK Baseball, LLC and Manhattan Capital Sports, LLC. The new
ownership group in addition will be paying a $100,000 transfer fee to the Pacific Coast League and a $25,000
application fee to Minor League Baseball. The Arizona Daily Star newspaper reported the new ownership
group is seeking to move the franchise from Tucson to Reno and has signed a contract with
HOK Architects (the same architectural firm that designed Isotopes Park) of Kansas City, Mo. to
design for the Reno franchise a 6,500 chairback seat stadium (10,000 total capacity stadium that includes
the chairback seats along with luxury suites, berm seating and other seating areas). 2007 supposedly will
be Albuquerque's last trip to Tucson to play at Tucson Electric Park (and Tucson visits Albuquerque in 2008
for the clubs' lone series of the season). Tucson's player development agreement with the Diamondbacks
runs out after the 2008 season. . . . The Isotopes and Redhawks conclude their series on Thursday
evening at "The Lab". Pitching probables are RHP Kenny Baugh (2-3, 6.00) for the Isotopes and
LHP John Koronka (4-3, 4.66) for the Redhawks.

| Oklahoma put the game away in the 2nd inning. Kevin Mahar and Chris Stewart
led off the inning with singles. An out later, Freddy Guzman reached on a fielders choice as Mahar
scored (with Stewart out at second base). Hulett singled and Jason Botts walked to load the bases before
Nate Gold doubled to drive in Guzman and Hulett. Relaford's single brought home Botts and Gold and
Nelson Cruz followed with a two run homer to left field. Mahar doubled and scored on Stewart's single

|
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The 10 run losing margin tied for the largest losing margin of the season for Albuquerque. . . .
Eric Reed went 0x2 to snap a 7-game hitting streak; while Scott Seabol hit safely to extend his
hitting streak to 10 games. . . .
Jeff Fulchino was notable in the game for two not very good reasons - he gave up Isotope starter
season-highs in earned runs allowed (9) and hits allowed (13). Both marks were one shy of tying
franchise records for Isotope starting pitchers.

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: This day in 2006
would be very hard to forget for any Isotopes fan. On a Memorial Day afternoon, the
Isotopes trailed 12-4 going into the 8th inning and mounted a franchise-record 8-run comeback over the
final two frames to tie the game and send it into extras before Drew Niles tripled to the center field wall
to drive in Chris Ashby in the 10th inning as Albuquerque defeated the Round Rock Express (AAA
Astros) 13-12 at Isotopes Park. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Albuquerque extended their division lead to a season-best 3 games due to their other division opponents
losing or one game being rained out. The Isotopes have enjoyed living in the penthouse of the division since
May 21st. . . .
Val Pascucci has homered in three straight games, an Isotope season-best. Pascucci also extended
his hitting streak to 8 games. . . .
John Baker and Dean Treanor were both ejected by Home Plate umpire Steve Fritzoni in the
9th inning. It was Treanor's fourth ejection of the season. . . .
The Isotopes love travel days, compiling a 9-2 record so far in 2007. . . .
Craig Brazell of the Omaha Royals (AAA Royals) was named the PCL Hitter of the Week. Brazell
went 12x29 (.414 BA) with 8 homers and 14 RBI during the week. Phillip Barzilla of the Round
Rock Express (AAA Astros) was named the PCL Pitcher of the Week for winning both his starts for
the week and compiling a 1.29 ERA. . . .
Pitching probables for Wednesday evening's contest are LHP Paul Mildren (3-4, 4.36) for the Isotopes
and RHP Kazuhito Tadano (2-0, 0.00) for the River Cats.

steal. Nix sacrifice flied out to center field to drive in Crabbe. |

9-9 and it remained that way until the 9th inning. With one out, Chris Ashby doubled to right field and

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, the
Isotopes pitching staff gave up 7 homers, but the offense was able to come up with enough runs
to outslug the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros) 14-13 at Isotopes Park. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Isotopes and Sounds split the four-game series. 30,724 attended for a per-game average of
7,681. . . .
There was a historical moment during the ballgame. In the 6th inning, Isotopes reliever Mauro Zarate
gave up singles to Callix Crabbe and Chris Barnwell. Laynce Nix's comeback liner was snagged by
Zarate, who threw to Robert Andino at second base to double off Crabbe and Andino tossed the ball to Val Pascucci
at first base to triple off Barnwell for the first Triple Play in Isotopes franchise history. For the record,
the Isotopes have not hit into a Triple Play. . . .
Twice in a week, Frank Moore has driven in the game-winning run for Albuquerque in their last at-bat.
Monday was Albuquerque's seventh game won in their last at-bats in 2007. . . .
Val Pascucci went 2x2 and extended his hitting streak to 7 games. Pascucci also homered in
back-to-back games for the third time this season. . . .
Isotope batters have back-to-back homered two times in the series. The team has accomplished the
feat four times in 2007. . . .
Reliever Nate Field earned the victory, becoming the first Isotope to have five wins. . . .
Albuquerque heads off on an eight-game road trip to California. The first stop is for four games
against the Sacramento River Cats (AAA Athletics). Pitching probables in the opener are RHP
Kenny Baugh (0-2, 8.47) for the Isotopes and RHP Shane Komine (2-5, 5.31) for the River
Cats.

Dillon reached on an error, advanced to second base on Andy Abad's single, and scored on Rivera's
single. |
| For the second straight evening, Dillon haunted his former team by giving his
current team the lead that would never be relinquished. Sounds starter Yovani Gallardo and Callix
Crabbe walked and Chris Barnwell singled to load the bases. Dillon hit a ground-rule double to left
field to bring in Gallardo and Crabbe to give Nashville a 3-1 lead. |

single, and scored on a wild pitch. |
| Nashville put more runs on the board in the 8th inning. Charles Thomas walked to
lead off the inning, advanced to second base on Jose Macias groundout, and scored on Crabbe's
single to center field. Barnwell tripled to bring home Crabbe and give Nashville a 9-4 advantage. |

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, Robert
Andino singled to drive in Tom Wilson with the game-winning run in the 9th inning as the Isotopes
defeated the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros) 4-3 at Isotopes Park. The victory snapped a five-game
losing streak and gave the 'Topes the division lead over Round Rock. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Isotopes saw a couple more roster moves on Sunday. P Ross Wolf was placed on the Disabled
List and P Ricardo Rodriguez came off the Disabled List. P Chris George was transferred from Extended
Spring Training to Albuquerque to make tonight's start, and IF John Raburn was transferred from the
Isotopes to Class-AA Carolina, where Raburn had started the season. With some Marlins on the major-league Disabled
List starting to get healthy, it appears there may be some Marlins/Isotopes transactions this coming week. . . .
Nashville's Yovani Gallardo became the PCL's first 7-game winner with the victory. . . .
The Sounds' Chris Barnwell was a homer shy of hitting for the cycle. . . .
Val Pascucci's homer extended his hitting streak to 6 games. . . .
The Isotopes wore special camouflage jerseys during Saturday and Sunday's Military Appreciation weekend
contests. The jerseys were auctioned off and raised $3,340 for the Blue Star Mothers of America. Brett
Carroll's jersey brought the most money - $450. . . .
Pitching probables for Monday afternoon's series finale are RHP Jeff Fulchino (3-0, 4.75) for the
Isotopes and LHP Zach Jackson (5-3, 4.61) for the Sounds.

NRL Andy Tracy (10) off Jeff Fulchino in the 4th inning |
TIME: 3:44 ATT: 2,466 |
| Frank Moore singled in Chad Hermansen in the 14th inning as the Isotopes
outlasted the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets) 2-1 on Wednesday evening at Zephyr Field. With
the victory and a rainout or losses by other division foes, Albuquerque extended their division lead
to a season-best 2 games. |
| The early part of the game was dominated by the great pitching duel between
Albuquerque's Jeff Fulchino and New Orleans' Mike Pelfrey. |
| The Isotopes got their lone run off Pelfrey in the 2nd inning. Brett Carroll led off
the inning by being hit with a pitch. Carroll advanced to second base on Moore's single, Chris
Ashby grounded out to move Carroll to third base, and Fulchino helped out his cause with a sacrifice
fly to right field to bring home Carroll. |
| Fulchino's mistake happened in the 4th inning when he allowed a homer to
Andy Tracy to tie the game at 1-1. |
| When Fulchino was lifted after the 7th inning, the duel of the starters was
over with Fulchino allowing the one run on 6 hits in 7 innings while Pelfrey allowed 1 run on 4
hits over 6 innings. |
| The bullpens were locked in battle until the 14th inning when the Isotopes broke
through. Hermansen singled and pinch-hitter Chris George laid down a sacrifice bunt to move
Hermansen into scoring position. After Scott Seabol flew out, Carroll walked and Moore singled to
drive in Hermansen. |

| 'TOPES NOTES:
OF John Gall, designated for assignment by the Marlins recently, has cleared waivers and was
outrighted to Albuquerque on Wednesday. P Ben Julianel was placed on the disabled list. . . .
The start of the contest was delayed 20 minutes due to rain. . . .
Mauro Zarate appeared in his first game for the Isotopes tonight after his promotion from
Single-A Jupiter and became the first player with a last name ending in "Z" to appear in
a game for Albuquerque. Looking at an alphabetical list of Isotopes all-time, both the first
entry and the last entry have played for Albuquerque in 2007. Leading the list is Reggie
Abercrombie and the last entry on the list is Zarate. . . .
The Isotopes seem to like Zephyr Field as they are on a six-game winning streak there against
the Zephyrs. . . .
The 14 inning game was the longest road game (innings-wise) the Isotopes have ever played. The contest was
the longest this season both innings-wise and time-wise. . . .
The series (and Isotopes roadtrip) concludes on Thursday evening in New Orleans. Pitching probables
are RHP Kenny Baugh (0-1, 6.75) for the Isotopes and RHP Philip Humber (3-4, 4.59) for the
Zephyrs.

with the Sounds from 1998 to 2002 and is Nashville's career leader in homers (92), RBIs (286),
and runs scored (303) while also near the top of the Sounds all-time list in several other offense
categories. . . .

game, 4-hit shutout and James Shanks drove in Mike Colangelo with the lone run of the game. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Tacoma/Albuquerque matchup history was made as this just-completed series was the first series
all-time between the two clubs that did not result in a series sweep by one of the clubs. The
Rainiers and Isotopes split the series 2-2 and the next four-game series will be
in Tacoma in 2008. 39,974 fans showed up for the series (9,994 per game average) and 67,488

of four stolen bases set earlier in the season. Reed also went 3x4 to extend his hitting streak to 6 games. . . .
The Isotopes announced some details about the Triple-A All-Star Fiesta Fan Fest set for Saturday and
Sunday, July 7th and 8th at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The Fan Fest will be a tribute to the
Albuquerque Dukes and their parent Los Angeles Dodgers. Along the lines of that theme, it has been
disclosed that Steve Garvey, Bill Russell, Ron Cey, Mike Marshall,
Jerry Royster, Jack Perconte, and Terry McDermott have committed to appear at the Fan Fest and sign free autographs. Tickets for the
Fan Fest are sold in a package that also includes the Triple-A All-Star Game Home Run Derby and
the Triple-A All-Star Game. . . .
Albuquerque has Wednesday off before beginning an eight-game roadtrip. The first four on the
roadie are against the Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers). Pitching probables in Thursday evening's
opener are LHP Chris George (2-2, 5.23) for the Isotopes and RHP Yovani Gallardo (4-1, 2.53)
for the Sounds.

to drive in Balentien and LaHair as Tacoma held a solid 12-5 lead. |
| Two-out mojo played a big part in Albuquerque's game-winning rally. The bottom of the 8th inning
started with Pascucci's second homer of the game. An out later, Scott Seabol homered. After Carroll
flied out for the second out, Baker, Raburn and Andino singled (with Andino's single bringing home Baker). Eric Reed singled
to drive in Raburn and Andino stole third base. Hermansen walked to load the bases and Pascucci
singled to drive in Andino and Reed. Sears walked to re-load the bases and Seabol singled to drive

at bay. Balentien and LaHair singled to lead off the inning before Miller got Morse and Prettyman
to strike out and Johnson to ground out to end the game and give Miller his team-leading 6th save. |

| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Marlins recalled OF Jeremy Hermida from his rehabilitation assignment on Monday. Hermida
appeared in two games for Albuquerque during his rehab stint, hitting .200 (1x5) with two RBIs
and a walk. . . . The start of the game was delayed 45 minutes due to rain. . . .
Tonight's contest was the second contest of the season that the Isotopes won after being
down by 7 runs. . . .

also homered twice in a game for the second time this season and tied an Isotope season-high with
9 total bases in a game. . . .
The 3 hour, 39 minute contest was the longest 9 inning contest of the season for Albuquerque. . . .
The Pacific Coast League named their weekly winners. The Hitter of the Week is Mike Fontenot
of the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs). Fontenot hit .581 (18x31) for the week with 2 homers and 13 RBI.

made two starts and tossed 12 2/3 innings, allowing 3 earned runs (ERA: 2.13) and struck out 11. . . .
Tuesday's series finale is the final home day game of the season that does not occur
during a holiday (Memorial Day and Labor Day being the two holiday day contests on the home
schedule in 2007). Pitching probables are LHP Paul Mildren (2-3, 4.25) for the Isotopes and
Ryan Feierabend (1-2, 3.38) for the Rainiers. Feierabend was scheduled to start the opening
game of the series for Tacoma but due to tightness experienced in his prior outing, he was held
back until the series finale.

| The Tacoma Rainiers (AAA Mariners) chased Isotopes starter Ricardo Rodriguez to a record
earliest shower as the Rainiers defeated the Isotopes 19-9 on Mother's Day afternoon at Isotopes Park. The
Isotopes have lost a season-high four games in a row. |
| Adam Jones and Jeremy Reed started off the 1st inning with singles. Rodriguez would not have
gotten any outs in his start if not for Wladimir Balentien laying down a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners a base. Bryan
LaHair singled to drive in Jones and Mike Morse doubled to right field to drive in Reed and LaHair. Jeff
Clement was hit by a pitch and Rob Johnson doubled to drive in Morse before Isotopes manager Dean
Treanor had enough and yanked Rodriguez. Reliever Nic Ungs did not fair much better in the inning, giving
up a single to Ronnie Prettyman to drive in Clement and a double to Oswaldo Navarro that brought
home Johnson and Prettyman. Jones batted for the second time in the inning and homered to left field
for the final runs of the inning. When the dust had cleared, the Rainiers sent 12 men to the plate and
led 9-0. |

out later, Balentien homered to left field as the Rainiers led 16-0. |
| Albuquerque matched the Rainiers five-run inning output in their half of the 4th inning. Val
Pascucci walked, John Baker was hit by a pitch, and Brett Carroll homered to left field. Singles by John
Raburn, Eric Reed, Jeremy Hermida, and Todd Sears scored two more runs (Raburn and Reed scoring

and Johnson scored on Adam Jones' single to left field. Jeremy Reed followed with a three-run homer to
left field as Tacoma led 4-0. |

also had a great comeback, tallying for 13 runs over the final three frames to defeat the Salt Lake Bees (AAA
Angels 17-8 in Salt Lake. Matt Padgett homered twice in the win. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
OF Jeremy Hermida joined Albuquerque on Saturday to begin a major league rehabilitation assignment.
Hermida is the fifth Marlins player to ever rehab in Albuquerque and the first since 2005. Even though there is no set timetable,
Hermida may rejoin the Marlins towards the end of next week. Hermida was last with the Isotopes for one
game late in the 2003 season, going 0x3 with three strikeouts. . . .
Tacoma won for the first time ever at Isotopes Park in the history of the Rainiers-Isotopes matchups.
The Rainiers are 1-8 at Isotopes Park all-time. The Rainiers also snapped an eight-game losing streak
to the Isotopes going back to the 2005 season. . . .
The Isotopes have set season-high crowds in back-to-back nights. The fireworks-promotion-aided 12,278
is the 19th largest regular-season crowd in Isotopes Park history. . . .
Tacoma's Jeremy Reed was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. . . .
Pitching probables for the Mother's Day matinee at Isotopes Park are RHP Ricardo Rodriguez (1-2, 6.48)
for the Isotopes and RHP Jorge Campillo (2-4, 3.35) for the Rainiers.

TIME: 2:42 ATT: 10,701 |
| Craig Stansberry's 8th inning solo homer provided the go-ahead run as the
Portland Beavers (AAA Padres) defeated the Isotopes 3-1 in the series finale at Isotopes Park
on Friday evening. With the defeat, Albuquerque dropped out of first place in the PCL American
Conference Southern Division. |
| Just like in game three of the series, both teams were locked in a pitchers duel
until the 6th inning, and just like yesterday, Portland got on the scoreboard first. Vince Sinisi singled,
took third base on Stansberry's single, and the Beavers took advantage of Isotope starter Chris George's
wildness as Royce Huffman drew a walk to load the bases and Pete Laforest walked to bring in Sinisi. |
| Albuquerque tied the game in their half of the 6th inning. Robert Andino reached
on an error and Eric Reed bunt singled. Andino and Reed tried a double steal but Andino was caught
stealing at third base while Reed made it safely into second base. Chad Hermansen singled as Reed advanced to
third base and Val Pascucci reached on an error as Reed scored. |
| Stansberry's homer to left field in the 8th inning snapped the 1-1 tie and Portland
finished out the scoring in the 9th inning when Laforest walked and later scored on Brett Dowdy's single. |

| The Portland Beavers (AAA Padres) plated three runs in the 6th inning to snap a
scoreless tie on their way to a 6-2 victory over the Isotopes on Thursday evening. The loss did not drop the
Isotopes out of first place since the Oklahoma Redhawks (AAA Rangers) dropped a 17-16 10-inning thriller in
Las Vegas against the 51s (AAA Dodgers). |
| After five innings of a pitching duel between Albuquerque's Paul Mildren and Portland's
Tim Stauffer, the Beavers broke through against Mildren in the 6th inning. Pinch-hitter Brandon Gottier
walked and Brett Dowdy and Vince Sinisi singled (with Sinisi's single driving in Gottier). After Dowdy and
Sinisi executed a double steal, Craig Stansberry walked to load the bases. Royce Huffman sacrifice
flied out to bring home Dowdy and Pete Laforest singled to drive in Sinisi as Portland led 3-0. |
| Portland added to the lead in the 7th inning. Josh Howard walked, Beavers reliever
Aaron Rakers laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Howard to second base, and an out later, Sinisi doubled
to drive in Howard. |
| The Isotopes got their first run of the game in the home half of the 7th inning. Brett
Carroll doubled and scored on Eric Reed's single. |
| Portland extended their lead in the 9th inning. Howard walked and stole second base. Howard
moved to third base on pinch-hitter Brian Myrow's groundout and scored on Dowdy's single to center field. Dowdy
stole second base and scored later in the inning on Craig Stansberry's fielders choice. |

The Isotopes were very busy in the transaction department on Wednesday, probably
the busiest single transaction day in the history of the franchise. OF Reggie Abercrombie and his currently red-hot
wheels were recalled by the Marlins, while OF Eric Reed was optioned to Albuquerque, hopefully for
real this time, unlike Reed's last option when he was somewhat immediately recalled before reporting to
the Isotopes. IF Todd Sears went on the disabled list with a strained shoulder, C John Baker was
transferred to Class-A Jamestown, and C Paul Hoover went on the Disabled LIst. Promoted from
Class-AA Carolina were IF Frank Moore, OF Brett Carroll, C Brad Davis,
and P Kenny Baugh. . . .
The 2 Hour, 6 Minute contest was the shortest 9 inning contest of the year for the Isotopes. . . .

Isotopes and Beavers Suspended Due to Rain
Tuesday evening's series opener between the Albuquerque Isotopes
and Portland Beavers (AAA Padres) was suspended due to rain in
the bottom of the 4th inning with the game tied 0-0.
Chad Hermansen led off the bottom of the 4th inning with a triple
and Val Pascucci was at the plate with an opportunity to knock
Hermansen in with the first run of the game when the rains hit
and delayed play (and eventually a suspension was called when
radar did not look too promising).
The game is scheduled to be resumed Wednesday afternoon
at 4:30 PM MDT with the regularly scheduled game for Wednesday
to follow. Probables in the regularly scheduled game are RHP
Nic Ungs (1-1, 5.40) for the 'Topes and RHP Jared Wells (1-4,
5.46) for the Beavers.

Eric Reed earned a reprieve from the Marlins. Optioned to Albuquerque a couple days ago, Reed was recalled
back to the Marlins on Sunday when the Marlins placed Cody Ross on the major-league Disabled List with
the hamstring injury Ross suffered on Saturday while rounding third to score a run. . . .
The Isotopes/Redbirds game was delayed by rain for 29 minutes during the 5th inning. It was Albuquerque's
first rain delay of the season. . . .
Reggie Abercrombie stole 4 bases in the game, establishing an Isotope record. Abercrombie became
the second Isotope in the last three games to steal two bags in an inning (Robert Andino did it on Friday
evening). . . .
Andino went 0x4 to snap a 9 game hitting streak. . . .
Albuquerque concludes the series with Memphis and their season-longest 12-game roadtrip on Monday evening.
Pitching probables are RHP Jeff Fulchino (1-0, 5.58) for the Isotopes and Troy Cate (1-1, 2.70)
for the Redbirds.

Anibal Sanchez Optioned to Albuquerque
The Florida Marlins on Friday activated P Jorge Julio from the major-
league disabled list and optioned P Anibal Sanchez to Albuquerque
for a short-term assignment to work out a few things. This
transaction marks Sanchez's first stint in Albuquerque as he was
promoted to the majors last June straight from the Class-AA
Carolina Mudcats.
Sanchez made six starts for the Marlins in 2007 and went 2-1
with a 4.80 ERA. In 30 innings of work, Sanchez allowed 16
earned runs, walked 19 and struck out 14.
Sanchez is expected to make the start Tuesday night when

Isotopes wiped out an early 3-0 defecit with homers from Matt Padgett (2-run homer) and Josh
Willingham (3-run homer) and defeated the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Nationals in 2005) by a 9-4
score at Zephyr Field. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Albuquerque Isotopes announced when the April 12th suspended game at Isotopes
Park against the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) will be resumed. The game will be resumed on July 1st at
4:30 PM, immediately preceeding the regularly scheduled game between the Isotopes and Cubs.
Albuquerque was leading 5-4 going into the bottom of the 6th inning when the game was suspended
due to travel concerns. The regularly scheduled game will go 9 innings and will start 30 minutes
after the completion of the suspended game. . . . P Nate Field is not back with the Isotopes...yet.
Field was not optioned to Albuquerque but rather was designated for assignment by the Marlins. The
move removes Field from the Marlins' 40 man roster and buys the Marlins a few days to try to trade
him, waive him, or place him on waivers. If Field clears waivers, he could be back with Albuquerque
unless he has earned the ability to reject an assignment to the Isotopes and become a free agent. . . .
The seven-run comeback was not a franchise record for Albuquerque. Last season, the Isotopes
came back from an eight-run defecit against the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros) at Isotopes Park
to win a game. . . .
Chad Hermansen extended his hitting streak to 7 games by going 3x4. . . .
Robert Andino struck out four times in a game for the third time this season. . . .
Chris Ashby and Val Pascucci have both homered in consecutive games that they've played in. . . .
Albuquerque and Oklahoma continue their series with a special Wednesday afternoon start time. Pitching probables are
RHP Jeff Fulchino (1-0, 5.84) for the Isotopes and LHP John Koronka (2-2, 5.34) for the Redhawks.

There could be a move affecting the Isotopes made on Tuesday. The Marlins are activating P
Ricky Nolasco off the major-league Disabled List to make a start against the Mets on
Tuesday. The Marlins have not officially announced the corresponding roster move, but it is
believed P Nate Field will be heading back to Albuquerque to make room for Nolasco
on the Marlins 25 man active roster. . . .
The victory snapped a four-game losing streak against the Redhawks in games played at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark. . . .
With the triumph, the Isotopes now at least have a win on every day of the week (1-3 on Mondays). . . .
John Baker went hitless to snap a five game hitting streak, while Chad Hermansen extended his streak
to six games. . . .
The Isotopes went 12-12 in April (6-5 at home, 6-7 on the road and one game was suspended). The
'Topes scored 123 runs and had 26 homers and 21 stolen bases for the month. . . .
Since last Monday, Val Pascucci has been a homer happy hitter, belting five homers out of ballparks. . . .
The PCL Hitter of the Week is Mike Morse of the Tacoma Rainiers (AAA Mariners). Morse hit .560
(14x25) for the week with 2 homers and 7 RBI and has an eight-game hitting streak going into
Monday evening's Rainiers contest. . . . Tim Lincecum of the Fresno Grizzlies (AAA Giants) won the PCL
Pitcher of the Week award for the second time this season. Lincecum went 2-0 with a 0.72 ERA
and struck out 18 in 12 1/3 innings pitched for the week. There is talk in the Bay Area press that
Lincecum's promotion to the Giants is imminent. . . .
Pitching probables for game two of the series on Tuesday evening are LHP Chris George (1-2, 5.54)
for the Isotopes and RHP Francisco Cruceta (1-0, 3.86) for the Redhawks.

of the Tucson Sidewinders (AAA Diamondbacks). Carter hit .577 (15x26) with 5 runs scored and hit
safely in every contest during the week. Philip Humber of the Zephyrs is the PCL Pitcher of the
Week. Humber went 1-0 with a 1.38 during his two starts (including one start against the Isotopes,
where Humber allowed a run over 7 innings but got the no-decision). . . .
Albuquerque and New Orleans close out the series on Tuesday afternoon at Isotopes Park. Pitching
probables are RHP Ricardo Rodriguez (0-2, 7.71) for the Isotopes and RHP Chan Ho Park (2-1, 6.19)
for the Zephyrs.

| Scott Seabol's two-run homer keyed a three-run 6th inning as the Isotopes
snapped a 4-4 tie and went on to defeat the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets) 7-4 on Sunday
afternoon at Isotopes Park. |
| In the 2nd inning, John Gall reached on a fielder's choice, Seabol singled and
advanced to second base on an error, and John Baker singled to left field to drive in Gall. Josh Labandeira
laid down a sacrifice bunt as Seabol scored to give Albuquerque a 2-0 lead. |
| The Zephyrs cut the defecit in half in the 3rd inning when Jason Alfaro led off
with a homer to left field. |
| Albuquerque got that run back in their half of the 3rd inning. Robert Andino
doubled, stole third base and scored on Chad Hermansen's single to center field. |
| New Orleans took the lead in the 4th inning by plating three runs. Lastings
Milledge singled with one out, Andy Tracy drew a walk and Ricky Ledee doubled to center field to drive
them both in. Ledee advanced to third base on the throw during the play and scored on Sandy
Alomar Jr.'s double to left field. |
| Albuquerque immediately tied up the game at 4-4 in the bottom half of the inning.
Gall tripled to center field and scored on Baker's groundout. |
| Albuquerque took the lead and for good in the 6th inning. Hermansen singled
to lead off the inning, and two strikeouts later, Seabol homered to left field. Baker walked and scored on

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2006, Yusmeiro
Petit, Logan Kensing, and Brad Clontz combined on a two-hit shoutout of the Zephyrs (then a Washington
Nationals affiliate) by a final score of 3-0 in New Orleans. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Two Carolina Mudcats (AA Marlins) players joined the Isotopes on Sunday. Promoted was IF John
Raburn and P Christopher Young. . . .
Wes Obermueller was solid for the Marlins in his spot start in place of the injured Sergio Mitre. Obermueller pitched 6 innings, giving
up 4 hits and 2 runs, walked 4, struck out 5 and earned the victory in Florida's 12-6 decision over
the Washington Nationals. Considering Mitre is not eligible to come off the major league
Disabled List until early May, Obermueller may make one more start for the Marlins. . . .
Whether or not the Isotopes homer in a contest seems to be a key to if they will win or lose the
game. Through 17 games so far in 2007, the Isotopes are 8-1 when they have a homer in the game and 0-8 when they are
held homerless in a game. . . .
Pitching probables for Monday evening's game are LHP Paul Mildren (1-1, 3.77) for the Isotopes
and RHP Jorge Sosa (2-0, 0.95) for the Zephyrs.

Home Runs:

TIME: 2:32 ATT: 6,266 |
| Jeff Fulchino's strong six-inning, three-hit, no runs allowed performance was overshadowed
by Val Pascucci's walk-off home run to give the Isotopes a 4-3 victory over the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets)
at "The Lab" on Saturday evening. The Isotopes snapped a three-game losing streak with the victory and
the Zephyrs snapped their five-game winning streak. |
| John Gall homered with two outs in the 1st inning to give Albuquerque a 1-0 lead. |
| Fulchino and the Isotopes nursed that slim lead into the 7th inning. Roy Corcoran entered
the game in relief of Fulchino to begin the 7th inning. Mike DiFelice drew a leadoff walk and Philip Humber
laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance DiFelice to second base. DiFelice moved to third base on a groundout
and scored on a passed ball. Ruben Gotay singled and Carlos Gomez reached on an error to put both
runners in scoring position. Lasting Milledge singled to drive in Gotay and Gomez to give New Orleans a 3-1
lead. |
| Albuquerque rallied to tie the game in the 8th inning. Pinch-hitter Todd Sears singled and
Zach Sorensen and former-Zephyr Josh Labandeira followed with singles to load the bases with no outs. Gall
reached on a fielder's choice (Sorensen out at third base while Sears scored) and an out later, Chad
Hermansen singled to left field to drive in Labandeira to tie the game at 3-3. |
| Isotopes reliever Nate Field held the Zephyrs scoreless in the top of the 9th inning, setting
the table for a possible bottom of the 9th inning exciting win, and Pascucci delivered by depositing a 3-0 pitch over the left field wall. |

the Omaha Royals (AAA Royals) at Rosenblatt Stadium. Matt Padgett homered and drove in
three runs in Albuquerque's 8-0 victory that day. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The Florida Marlins had a change of plans. As was reported here a couple days ago, the Marlins
recalled P Scott Tyler from Class-AA Carolina to make a start for the Marlins on Sunday in
place of Sergio Mitre, who was placed on the major league Disabled List. The change of plans involved
optioning Tyler back to Carolina and purchasing the contract of P Wes Obermueller from the
Isotopes. Obermueller will start Sunday's game at Dolphin Stadium against the Washington
Nationals. . . .
Val Pascucci's walk-off homer was the first Isotope walk-off homer since Jason Stokes
two-run homered on July 17, 2006 against the Zephyrs. . . .
The four errors the Isotopes committed in the game was the most in 2007 and it was
the first victory of the season when the Isotopes have committed two or more errors in
a contest. . . .
The Isotopes seem to enjoy travel days - they are 3-0 in travel day games in 2007. . . .
Robert Andino extended his hitting streak to five games. . . .
Andino earned his second ejection of the season tonight. Andino was thrown out
by third-base umpire Angel Campos for arguing about being called out while trying to steal second
base in the 4th inning. . . .
The Isotopes and Zephyrs meet up Sunday afternoon for game two of the series. Pitching probables
are unknown for the Isotopes (Obermueller was planned to start) and LHP Jason Vargas (2-0, 1.50) for the
Zephyrs. Vargas, a former Isotope, is making a visit to Isotopes Park for the first time as an
opponent.

Home Runs:

TIME: 2:24 ATT: 7,017 |
| The Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) scored six runs in the 1st inning, highlighted by Scott
Moore's grand slam home run, and the Isotopes rally over the remainder of the game just fell short as the
Cubs defeated the Isotopes 6-5 in the series finale in Des Moines on Friday evening. Albuquerque
has lost three straight games for the second time this roadtrip. |
| With one out in the 1st inning, Carlos Rojas singled and scored on former-Isotope
Mike Kinkade's triple to right field. Micah Hoffpauir was hit by a pitch and Geovany Soto singled to
drive in Kinkade. Buck Coats walked to load the bases and Moore homered to left field to clear them
as Iowa led 6-0. |
| Albuquerque rallied in the 6th inning. Josh Labandeira reached on a fielder's choice
and John Gall singled. Scott Seabol singled to load the bases and Chad Hermansen reached on a fielder's choice
with Labandeira out at home plate on the play for the second out of the inning. Val Pascucci reached on
an error as Gall scored and with the bases still loaded, Paul Hoover tripled off the center field fence
to clear them. Chris Ashby followed with a single to left field to drive in Hoover as the 'Topes trailed
by a run at 6-5. |
| Albuquerque's best opportunity to tie the game came in the 8th inning when Pascucci singled with two
outs and advanced to second base on an error during the play. Hoover drew a walk before Ashby lined out to center field
to end the threat and strand Pascucci in scoring position. |

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2004,
the Isotopes scored three unearned runs in the 10th inning to defeat the Nashville Sounds (AAA
Pirates in 2004) in Nashville. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Another Isotope got the snub from the Marlins on Friday. The Marlins placed P Sergio Mitre on the
major-league Disabled List with a blister on his right middle finger and recalled P Scott Tyler from
the Class-AA Carolina Mudcats. There had been talk in South Florida that if Mitre was placed on the
Disabled List, Isotopes P Wes Obermueller probably would have been promoted to the Marlins. . . .
The Iowa Cubs wore Virginia Tech University caps during Friday evening's contest in memory of those killed in Blacksburg, Virginia on Monday. . . .
Iowa took three out of the four games in the series. 19,563 fans attended the four games in Iowa and 40,354
fans attended the Isotopes' eight contests (four in Omaha, four in Iowa). . . .
Chad Hermansen went 0x4 to snap an eight-game hitting streak. . . .
Scott Moore's grand-slam homer was the first grand-slam allowed by an Isotopes pitcher since
July 28, 2006 when Sacramento River Cat's (AAA Athletics) Scott McClain grand-slam homered
in the first inning. . . .
The Pacific Coast League announced on Thursday the newest members to
be inducted into the P.C.L. Hall of Fame - Frank Brazill, "Fuzzy" Hufft, Paul
Waner and Emil Sick. . . .
Albuquerque returns home for a quick four-game homestand against the division-leader New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets). It
is the first series of the season that the Isotopes play divisional rivals. Pitching probables are RHP Jeff Fulchino (1-0, 7.42) for the Isotopes and RHP Philip
Humber (2-1, 3.86) for the Zephyrs. |

of Isotope errors on the play allowed Hill to come around to score to give the Cubs a 3-1 lead. |

Machado sacrifice flied out to center field to drive in Rojas. |

(AAA Royals) defeated the Isotopes 9-5 on Monday afternoon in the series finale. The Isotopes
have dropped three straight games and fell below the breakeven record mark for the first time in the
young season. |
| With two outs in the first inning, John Gall doubled, Scott Seabol walked and Chad Hermansen doubled to left field
to drive them both in and give Albuquerque a 2-0 lead. |
| Albuquerque added to the lead in the 3rd inning. Gall walked with one out, advanced

center field. |
| Omaha put up a five-spot in the 4th inning and took a 5-3 lead. Isotopes starter

Cubs (AAA Cubs) defeated the Isotopes 7-3 in Des Moines. All the runs in the contest were scored
on homers -- Josh Willingham for Albuquerque and David Kelton, Scott McClain and Mark Johnson
for the I-Cubs. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
Omaha won three out of the four games in the series. 20,791 attended the series in Omaha for a per-game average of
5,198. . . .
John Baker singled to extend his hit streak to 6 games; tied for the longest hit streak this season by an
Isotope (John Gall). . . .
Five of Albuquerque's seven hits went for extra bases. . . .
Albuquerque's pitching staff tied a franchise record by allowing 10 walks in a 9-inning game and Jeff Fulchino
tied a franchise record by allowing seven of those. . . .
Albuquerque's tablesetters are struggling so far this season - leadoff man Eric Reed is hitting .130 and
number two hitter Robert Andino is hitting .140 so far in 2007. . . .
Andino struck out four times in the game, the most by an Isotope in a game this season. The
four strikeouts in a game is one shy of tying Chris Aguila's franchise record of five. . . .
The Pacific Coast League named their first players of the week for 2007. Jamie D'Antona of the
Tucson Sidewinders (AAA Diamondbacks) is the PCL Hitter of the Week. D'Antona hit .563

two starts and went 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA (0 ER and 6 hits in 12 IP). . . .

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: In 2005, the
Isotopes belted five homers in a 11-3 victory over the Iowa Cubs at Isotopes Park. Mark Little had
3 homers, while Jason Stokes and Matt Padgett each had a single homer. |
| 'TOPES NOTES:
There was a transaction on Monday. The Isotopes, in a paper move, transferred P Rich Dorman
from Extended Spring Training to the Isotopes active roster and transferred P Wes Obermueller
from the active roster to Extended Spring Training. There was the potential for another transaction
affecting the Isotopes on Monday but it never came to fruition. The Marlins placed P Ricky Nolasco
on the major-league DL and recalled P Rick Vanden Hurk from the Class-AA Carolina Mudcats. . . .
Albuquerque has lost their last five games to the Cubs, dating back to the 2006 season. . . .
Pitching probables for the second game of the series on Tuesday evening are LHP Chris George (1-0, 3.60)
for the Isotopes and LHP J.R. Mathes (0-1, 11.25) for the I-Cubs.

| THIS DAY IN ISOTOPES HISTORY: This day in
history has a major good and a major bad event for the Isotopes. In 2003, Nashville Sounds (AAA Pirates
in 2003) John Wasdin tossed a perfect game against the Isotopes in Nashville. The game was only
the fifth game in Isotopes franchise history and remains as the only time the Isotopes have been held
hitless in a game. In 2005, Mark Prior and the Iowa Cubs (AAA Cubs) came to Albuquerque to open up the
season. The Isotopes scored five first-inning runs and held off the rehab'ing Prior and the Cubs 5-3. In
2007, it is unlikely Prior will be with the Cubs when they come to Albuquerque beginning on Monday
evening as Prior is expected to remain in Arizona getting work in as he tries to get healthy enough
to rejoin the Chicago Cubs.
|
| 'TOPES NOTES:
The defeat snapped a three game winnning streak against the Omaha Royals going back to last
season and a seven-game home winning streak against the Lil' Kings. . . . Chad Hermansen
had both Isotope hits (both doubles) in the game. . . . Paul Hoover snapped an 8-game hitting streak, dating back
to the 2006 season. . . . There were three weather related cancellations in the Pacific Coast League
on Saturday. Snow postponed the Tucson Sidewinders (AAA Diamondbacks) game at the Colorado
Springs Sky Sox (AAA Rockies). Too cold of weather postponed the New Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets)
at the Nashville Sounds (AAA Brewers) and there was an historic postponement as the Iowa Cubs (AAA
Cubs) were postponed in Round Rock against the Round Rock Express (AAA Astros). It was the first home
postponement in the history (524 home games) of the Round Rock franchise, dating back to when the franchise began
as a Double-A club in 2000 before joining the Triple-A ranks in 2005. . . .
Pitching probables for the final game of the series on Sunday afternoon are LHP Paul Mildren (0-0, -.--) for the Isotopes
and RHP Dewon Brazelton (0-0, -.--) for the Royals.

Isotopes Complete Their Florida Exhibition Schedule
The Albuquerque Isotopes completed their Spring Florida
exhibition game schedule late last week. On Wednesday
March 28th, the Isotopes lost to the New Orleans Zephyrs
(AAA Mets) 8-4. On Thursday March 29th, the Isotopes
defeated the Las Vegas 51s (AAA Dodgers) 9-6 and Friday
March 30th's game against the Zephyrs was cancelled.
Albuquerque was scheduled to play the Marlins at Roger
Dean Stadium on March 31st in a matchup of Major League
and their Triple-A club, but the game was postponed in
December 2006 when the Marlins instead elected to play the
Cincinnati Reds in Dayton, Ohio.
A Missouri newspaper reported that on Saturday, March 31st,
the Isotopes took on the Cardinals Double-A team, the
Springfield Cardinals. The Isotopes won 5-4 in a game
played in the backfields of Roger Dean Stadium where
both the Marlins and Cardinals train. It is unclear if this
game actually happened or was just an April Fools Day
prank. The article makes sense due to the location and
the names of some of the players used in the article are
Cardinals minor leaguers. It may be a April Fools Day joke
because the game was not listed on a schedule of Isotopes
2007 exhibition games as well as the fact the other team was
"Springfield" and it could be loosely construed to be the
"Springfield Isotopes" from the famous Simpsons episode.
In an update to the Jason Stokes trade item posted a few
days ago, Stokes has been assigned the Oakland Athletics'
Triple-A affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats. If Stokes stays
with the River Cats in 2007, he won't be making a visit to
Isotopes Park as the Isotopes play their only four matchups
in 2007 with the River Cats at Raley Stadium in Sacramento.
Catcher John Baker, who the Marlins acquired in the trade,
has been assigned to the Isotopes
The Isotopes had their media day today at Isotopes Park and
have one more exhibition game left on the schedule before
opening the regular season on Thursday April 5th against the
Omaha Royals (AAA Royals).
Tuesday evening's exhibition game at Isotopes Park is against
the University of New Mexico Lobos. The game is scheduled
for 7 innings, will be played with wooden bats, and will not go
into extra innings if there is a tie after 7 innings. Tickets cost
$5.00 for general admission ($3.00 for UNM students and
faculty) and net proceeds benefit the UNM baseball program.

Jason Stokes Traded to Oakland Athletics
The Florida Marlins and Oakland Athletics played "Let's Make a Deal!"
on Friday as the Marlins sent IF Jason Stokes to the Athletics for
C John Baker.
After hitting .091 (1x11) during the Spring in 8 games, the Marlins
outrighted Stokes to the Isotopes.
While with the Athletics, Baker appeared in 5 contests and hit
.400 (2x5) with a couple walks, three strikeouts, and a run
scored.
In other Isotopes news, the Isotopes announced new University
of New Mexico Men's Basketball Coach Steve Alford will throw
out the first pitch before Tuesday April 3rd's Isotopes/Lobos
exhibition game at Isotopes Park. The game is schedule for
7 innings, will be played with wood bats, and will be declared
a tie if the game is tied after 7 innings of play.

Jason Wood Makes Marlins Roster!
The Marlins announced on Thursday that Isotopes fan favorite
Jason Wood has made their 25-man active roster to open the
season and will primarily be a pinch-hitter. Wood, 37 years old,
had a great Spring, hitting .415 (17x41). Wood will be adding
to his 1 year, 10 days of MLB service time.
The Marlins sent OF John Gall and P Nate Field to minor league
camp, and both players are expected to be assigned to
Albuquerque in the next few days.
Not showing up in a 'Topes suit in 2007 will be IF Joe Dillon.
Dillon, who was sent to Marlins minor league camp during
Spring Training, exercised an out clause in his contract
and signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.
If Dillon gets assigned to the Brewers Triple-A farm club,
the Nashville Sounds and stays with the Sounds for
any length of time, Isotope fans can watch Dillon in action
when the Sounds visit Albuquerque in late May.
Dillon played in Japan in 2006 with the Yomiuri Giants.
In 31 games, Dillon hit .195 with 2 homers and 7 RBIs.

Isotopes Play Three More Spring Games
Since the last update, the Isotopes have put three more Spring
exhibition games into the books.
On Saturday, the Isotopes defeated the Memphis Redbirds (AAA
Cardinals) 8-3. On Sunday, the Isotopes lost to the New
Orleans Zephyrs (AAA Mets) 3-0 and on Monday, the Isotopes
and Redbirds tied 3-3.
The Isotopes have a 5-4-2 record through games of Monday
and were off on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the Marlins made more roster moves. OF
Eric Reed lost out to Alejandro De Aza for the Marlins Center
Fielder job and was optioned to Albuquerque. The Marlins
also sent three players to minor league camp and those
players have a good chance of eventually being assigned to
Albuquerque. Going to minor league camp were C Paul
Hoover, IF Zach Sorensen, and P Ray Corcoran.
The Marlins have 28 players on their active roster and the
active roster must be trimmed to 25 players by Sunday.

Isotopes Drop Two Spring Games
After starting the season 4-0-1, the Isotopes have dropped two
straight Spring Training exhibition games.

to the Memphis Redbirds (AAA Cardinals).

'Topes 16-8.
In other news, the Marlins trimmed their major league camp size
down to 42 by sending IF Joe Dillon and P Wes Obermueller
to minor league camp. Both players could end up with
Albuquerque, depending on where the Marlins assign each
player.
The Marlins have 30 men on their major league roster (needing
to cut down to 25 by Opening Day) and there are still 12
non-roster invitees battling for jobs in major league camp.

2007 Isotopes Web Page Now Active
The 2007 Albuquerque Isotopes Unofficial Web Page is now
active.
In the Pacific Coast League, only one team changed
affiliation. The New Orleans Zephyrs are now a top farm
club of the New York Mets, having lost their affiliation with
the Washington Nationals. Isotopes fans will get real
familiar with Mets prospects considering the Isotopes and
Zephyrs play each other 16 times during the season.
Former University of New Mexico Lobo pitcher Jimmy Serrano
was signed by the Marlins to a minor league contract in
February. Serrano failed his physical so the Marlins
released him, avoiding any opportunity for Serrano to
pitch for the Isotopes to begin the season.
Familiar faces to Isotopes fans that were Marlins non-roster
spring invitees included pitchers Chris George, Nic Ungs,
Ross Wolf and Matt Yourkin, catchers Chris Ashby, Paul
Hoover and Nick Trzesniak, and infielders Joe Dillon, Scott
Seabol, Jason Stokes, and Jason Wood.
During the spring so far, IF Jason Stokes was outrighted to
Albuquerque (removed from the Marlins 40-man roster), while
OF Reggie Abercrombie and P Paul Midren were both
optioned to the Isotopes.
In other transactions, the Marlins assigned P Chris George,
P Eddie Rodriguez, IF Scott Seabol, C Chris Ashby, and P
Travis Bowyer to minor league camp. It is possible that
these players could be transferred from minor league camp
to Albuquerque at some point before the season begins.
