TOP TEN: A win against Kannapolis this evening would help West Virginia match its best-ever ten game start to any one season in Power franchise history. Over the previous ten seasons, only the 2007 club had a winning record after ten games at 7-3. That 2007 team went on to win 17 of 21 games during the first month of the season.

During the first nine games, the bullpen has a combined ERA of 3.60, compared to a 4.97 ERA by the starters over 34 frames. ALUMNI UPDATE: Former Power pitcher Phil Irwin is playing overseas in the Korean Baseball Organization this season. The right-hander pitched for West Virginia during the 2010 season and is now playing for the KT Wiz. BEST BACKSTOP: Taylor Gushue leads all South Atlantic League catchers in fielding percentage. In eight games, Gushue has not committed an error in 78 total chances. Gushue is throwing would-be basestealers out at a 28 percent clip, which is eighth best in the league. STILL STREAKING: Chase Simpson s hitting streak was stopped at five with an 0-3 performance Friday night. The infielder matched Tito Polo s streak at five for the longest by a Power player this season. Simpson s walked in the second Friday and went 2-5 Saturday to extend his on base streak to nine straight, tied with five others for the longest in the league this season, POWER PROMO UPDATE- APRIL 25: The West Virginia Power will honor the 1990 Charleston Wheelers, the only team to bring a South Atlantic League title to Charleston. The entire team will be inducted onto the Charleston Baseball Wall of Fame and the first 1,000 fans will receive a commemorative t-shirt celebrating the 25 th anniversary of the championship. POWER POINTS: Nick Neumann and today s starter, John Sever, have not allowed an earned run yet this season... West Virginia is 5-0 when scoring first this season, joining three other teams that are undefeated when scoring first... AROUND THE ORGANIZATION: Pittsburgh completed a three-game series sweep of Milwaukee with a 5-2 Sunday victory. Gerrit Cole struck out six over six innings... Indianapolis s game at Louisville was postponed... Altoona blanked Akron 7-0 with a combined shutout by Zack Dodson, Tom Harlan and Colin Balester...
