Sea Dogs Segar Raps 3 Homers
Tuesday, August 1st , 2045
It was a good day for the Maine Sea Dogs and an exceptional one for Evan Segar. The 20-year-old first baseman sent three bombs out of the park to help the Sea Dogs beat the Memphis Music 7-3 at Sea Dogs Park.
"When you're in the zone, the game really slows down," Segar said when asked about his performance later. "I couldn't even tell you what pitches were thrown. Today feels great, but it is a long season and tomorrow is another day."
For the day, he scored 4 times, drove in 5 runs and smacked 4 hits in 5 at-bats.
Evan Segar hit a solo-shot off Kevin Brown in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Kevin Brown in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Kevin Brown in the 6th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and flied out in the 8th.
In this current campaign Segar is hitting at a .295 clip with 9 home runs and 31 RBIs.

Tuesday, August 1st , 2045
The Maine Sea Dogs celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Yermolay Olhivsky had been selected as July's USSL Rookie Pitcher of the Month. Olhivsky's zest for the game has been a frequent topic on the sports pages and his numbers of late have made his fans even more enthusiastic.
"Our coaching staff really helps me prepare well," Olhivsky said, "and the fans feed off good pitching. Your pitches just seem to have that extra pop to them when the fans are behind you and you feel confident you can get outs."
Olhivsky tossed 32.1 innings last month, holding opponents to a .148 average while striking out 33 batters. In 5 starting assignments he came away with a 4-0 record, putting together an ERA of 2.23.
