Recap:
Gissell, I guess making a spot start had a quality one.  He sprayed 6
hits, but only 2 runs, with 3 strikes and no balls over 5 IP.  Shafter
threw 1.2 scoreless innings.  Wing allowed 2 hits and one earned with 2
K's and 2 BB over 1 inning.  Gray pitched 1.1 scoreless innings as
the Rivercats crushed Memphsis 11-3.
.
The Rivercats swung some lumber as Patterson, Knoedler, Conrad and Murton all
homered.  Murphy, Murton and Conrad also all hits triples and Bankston hit a
double.  Over all the Cats had 16 hits and worked 3 walks.

An update on the Buck situation.  The beat writer for the SacBee said he was
DL'd due to issues related to his concession.  Slusser had since written that
he has been DL'd due to an inner ear problem.  No word if the two problems are
related or if the A's are just pumping out different information to different
beat writers.
