 | Sunday, August 31st, 2008: Coelho 5-6 for Laval
Who needs batting practice? Conceição Coelho of Laval apparently doesn't as he peppered Toronto with a 5-hit outburst in today's game. He got the hits, but lost the game. The Phantoms pulled out a 10-8 win.
He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 6 day... will my name be in the record books now?"
One of his teammates hollered out, "No, only if your team wins the game!"
C. Coelho singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off J. Failes in the 8th and grounded out in the 10th.
Thus far in 2008 Coelho has hit .571 with 1 home run, 4 RBIs and scored 6 runs.

 | Tuesday, August 12th, 2008: Phantoms Blank Edmonton, Pérez Winner
José Pérez was downright nasty in pitching a 4-0 shutout against Edmonton. His splitter was diving, his slider was breaking and the Mall Ratz were swinging and looking bad. In the solid 4-hit shutout the Phantoms hurler chalked up 5 strikeouts and no walks in a strong outing.
"As the game went on, he got stronger," his manager said. "I thought he really turned it up a notch in the eighth and ninth and probably threw his best breaking balls in those two innings. They put a lot of balls in play early in the count because he was throwing strikes."
This season-to-date Pérez has 7 wins and 5 losses and a 3.27 ERA.
