Harrison, Hague continue to hit in 6-5 win over BoSox

Found March 21, 2012 on North Side Notch:
PLAYERS: Evan Meek,  Andrew Bailey,  Juan Cruz,  Josh Harrison,  Andrew McCutchen,  Nate McLouth,  Kevin Correia,  Joel Hanrahan
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  Pittsburgh Pirates
Final: Pirates 6, Red Sox 5 WP: Evan Meek LP: Andrew Bailey SV: Juan Cruz Matt “The Hit Collector” Hague went 2 for 3 with a 2-run homer, his 3rd of the spring. Hague survived the last round of cuts and is still in the running for an outside shot at nabbing one of the club’s final bench spots. Josh Harrison, who is also competing for one of the last bench spots went 2 for 3 with his 6th double of the spring. He did, however, make 2 costly base running errors as he was tagged out over sliding 2nd base twice. Andrew McCutchen was 1 for 2 with an RBI single, his 10th runner driven in this spring. Nate McLouth relieved Cutch in CF and hit a 2-run homer to RF, his 1st of the spring. Kevin Correia entered the game with 9 scoreless innings this spring. He gave up 4 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings today. Joel Hanrahan pitched a scoreless inning of relief. Evan Meek pitched 2 innings and gave up 1 run on a solo home run. Juan Cruz finished things off with a scoreless 9th.

Spring training is too long (and other odds and ends)

Via WHYGAVS?  |  March 22, 2012
I really like Charlie's piece today on Matt Hague and Josh Harrison being bit players no matter what they do in camp this spring.
