Hit Bull Win Steak

Buffalo Bisons v Durham Bulls, June 29, 2000

Durham Athletic Park, Sec 115 Row K

Calvin LaLoosh: I held it like an egg.

Crash Davis: Yeah, and he scrambled the son of a bitch. Look at that, he hit the fucking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

First time in the new Durham Athletic Park.
A crown jewel of minor league parks. This is not the same stadium the movie Bull Durham was filmed in the late 80s. The park has a mini Green Monster (blue) in left with the "Bull" from the movie.
The Bull was a movie prop for the Kevin Costner movie. It remained at the old park after the filming and was relocated to the new digs some years later.
The stadium also has some seats in right field with a hill in center for blankets and kids rolling down the hill.
The Buffalo Bisons began Thursday night where the left off Wednesday night against the Bulls, scoring runs often. The Bisons put three runs on the board in the first as David Roberts, Bill Selby and John McDonald all scored.
Jeff Patzke tripled to start the second for Buffalo and later scored on a Marcos Scutaro single down the left field line.
Pat Borders hit his eighth home run, his second in two nights, in the fifth inning to put the Bulls on the scoreboard 5-1.
Bulls starter Dan Wheeler lasted five innings giving up five runs on 11 hits and struck out three. Wheeler took the loss, his sixth on the season.
Mike Duvall replaced Wheeler at the beginning of the sixth inning. Duvall gave up three runs on four hits in two innings of work.
The Bulls would not give-up, with the score 8-1 and two outs in the ninth, they loaded the bases. Dan Fraraccio hit a two-RBI single up the middle, scoring Dustin Carr and Pat Borders. Alex Sanchez loaded the bases again with an infield single. Eddy De Los Santos stepped to the plate and delivered a base hit to right field scoring two. All-Star third baseman Aubrey Huff walked to load the bases for the third time in the inning. DH Ozzie Timmons chopped a 2-1 pitch to the second baseman to end the game.
Bisons starter Willie Martinez (5-2) was the winning pitcher throwing eight innings of one run baseball scattering five hits. Jim Poole was credited with his first save of the year after facing Timmons for the last out of the game.
