Boomerang Baseball - A novel about a young baseball players dream to play in the MLBBoomerang Baseball Back Cover Description
Trent McKnight grew up dreaming that baseball would take him all the way to “The Show” - the Major Leagues in the United States. Instead, baseball and a love of sport in general gave him an anchor whenever his life needed stability, even when he had turned his back on the game he loved.
He grew up in affluence, part of a close family and attending good schools. Yet Trent discovered that life has ways of challenging the comfortable lifestyle and calling into question easily-held beliefs.
When the dreams fade and you resort to lies in order to hide your shortcomings, where do you turn? For Trent, the answer lay in the foundations he laid at school and in baseball: his friends and mentors.
In Boomerang Baseball, Nicholas R.W. Henning explores in autobiographical style the trials and triumphs of Trent’s life. It is an insightful and honest story of obsession, disappointment and determination. As he grows up, Trent’s belief in himself is challenged by bullying, self-doubt and failure. But his life is also shared by family and friends who support him in darker moments. And always close to the centre of his life is baseball, the sport which wounds him but also provides him with the opportunities to succeed.
On the surface this is a simple story of growing up, but Trent McKnight’s experiences will resonate with many readers, sports fans or not.

AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE WEEKLY UPDATE
In the remaining weeks of the MLB season and the 2010 edition of The Pitch we will be including a weekly update of the coming inaugural season of the new Australian Baseball League. To be on top of all the details visit the website www.theabl.com.au
This week coaching announcements have been made for the Adelaide Bite, the Melbourne Aces, the Perth Heat and the Sydney Blue Sox:
Tony Harris will be the Bite’s head coach – a familiar name to all involved in Australian baseball, Harris coached in the old ABL, served as a minor league coach with the LA Dodgers, was a member of the Australian coaching staff of the 2004 Olympic Silver Medal winning team, among his many achievements. More details here.
Taking up the head coaching reins in Melbourne is another familiar name in Australian baseball circles, Phil Dale. Dale was the foundation manager of the Waverley Reds in the old ABL when he led the team to the championship – a feat he is hoping to repeat. Dale played college ball at Georgia Southern and reached Double-A ball with the Cincinnati Reds. More details here.
He may be an import but he’s already put in a lot of time in Western Australian baseball circles – Brooke Knight will manage the Perth Heat. Knight, a native of State of Oregon, played and coached with South Perth and Wanneroo from 1996-2000 and served as assistant coach of the Western Heelers in 1999. He played professionally with the Brewers and Pirates and served as a scout for the Expos and Marlins. More details here.
Australian baseball fans who have followed the career of Glenn Williams will be excited to see the Sydneysider at the helm for the Blue Sox. Williams signed as a 16-year old with the Atlanta Braves, later played for the Toronto Blue Jays and made a spectacular debut with the Minnesota Twins in 2005. He hit safely in 13 consecutive games on debut – tying a MLB record – before suffering a career ending shoulder injury. More details here.
If you are interested in inaugural season team memberships and season tickets – they are on sale now through the respective team sites – find links from the main site at www.theabl.com.au.
RAYS GET GOOD NEWS ON BALFOUR
Grant Balfour has missed 24 games since going on the disabled list on July 31 with an intercostal strain. But Rays manager Joe Maddon said he received some good news on Balfour on Sunday in the form of a report from the training staff.
"I got a little blurb on him," Maddon said. "Today he threw and he's throwing actually well. And he's coming along ahead of schedule.
" ... He came out of it with typical soreness. Nothing bothered him extraordinarily. So he's coming along really well and ahead of schedule. So when we get back we probably [will schedule some] bullpens until he gets into some simulated games and possibly some action. I really thought it was going to be longer."
At the time of his injury, the right-hander had a nice season going at 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 43 1/3 innings.
Gail Wood, The News Tribune – 19 August
In a showdown between two former major league pitchers, Ryan Rowland-Smith was the top gun at Cheney Stadium on Wednesday.
Rowland-Smith, in the third start of his rehab assignment with Tacoma, made a good argument for rejoining the Mariners by striking out eight and giving up two runs in seven innings, sparking a 4-3 win against Albuquerque.
“Ryan did a phenomenal job,” Rainiers manager Jose Castro said. “He’s got the stuff to throw at the major leagues. He showed that tonight.”
Rowland-Smith was 1-10 with a 6.96 ERA with Seattle before coming to Tacoma. He’s 2-1 with a 4.08 ERA with the Rainiers.
“It’s been a tough year,” Rowland-Smith said. “I’m getting back to competing rather than worrying about mechanics.”
Rowland-Smith credited Rainiers pitching coach Jaime Navarro for helping him change his focus.
“I feel if I’m questioning my mechanics I don’t trust it,” Rowland-Smith said. “I’ve got to trust it.”
With the win, Tacoma moved back into first place, a half game ahead of Salt Lake, a 13-3 loser at Memphis.
Rowland-Smith outdueled John Ely, who made 14 starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season and went 4-7 with a 4.63 ERA before getting sent down.
Ely didn’t look like he’d get out of the first inning. Dustin Ackley drilled Ely’s first pitch over the right fielder’s head for a standup double. Matt Mangini then walked and Justin Smoak lined a single to right to score Ackley.
But Ely settled down and retired 15 of the next 17 batters, going 1-2-3 in the fourth and fifth innings. He lasted seven innings, striking out eight and giving up four runs on five hits.
In the second inning, Greg Halman drilled Ely’s first pitch over the left-field wall for his 28th homer of the season, giving Tacoma a 3-0 lead.
Mike Carp stung Ely again with the long ball in the sixth inning, sending a fastball over the right-field wall for a 4-2 lead. It was Carp’s 21st homer of the season and second in the past four games.
That gave Tacoma 25 homers in August and 149 for the season, second most in the Pacific Coast League.
In the seventh and last inning for Rowland-Smith, he struck out two and forced a pop-up to center. His teammates gave him high-fives in the dugout.
“I’m just trying to get back to where I was,” Rowland-Smith said.
Tacoma’s relief pitching came through again, allowing one run over two innings.
TRIPLE-A LEAGUES:
BLACKLEY PAYS VISIT OT OLD STOMPING GROUNDS
A familiar face returned to Arrowhead Credit Union Park, but it was a long time between visits.
Australian born left-hander Travis Blackley (Cheltenham VIC) came in with the Stockton Ports, who were in town for a series with the 66ers and then one with the Quakes at the Epicenter. Blackley, then 19, pitched for the team formerly known as the San Bernardino Stampede in 2002 and was 5-9 with a solid 3.49 ERA in 21 games.
He briefly made the big leagues with the Mariners and Giants but has struggled with injuries the last five years, the most notable being a torn labrum that sidelined him in 2005. He also was briefly with the Phillies and Diamondbacks organizations and was in spring training this season with the New York Mets who tried to make him a sidearm pitcher, an experiment he admitted did not go well.
He was claimed by the A's in May but needed surgery to remove bone chips and is on the rehab trail. He is hoping to go to Triple-A Sacramento as soon as this week.
He said it was odd being back in San Bernardino after so long and hadn't forgotten then pitching coach Scott Budner, who stopped in early Friday before batting practice to see him. In his first two outings with Stockton this week (Wednesday and Sunday), Blackley allowed one run on three hits in five innings.
"It was really strange," he said of his trip back. "I was on the mound and for a split second I was waiting to hear Bud yelling at me from the dugout."
He did get to visit with some of the fans and booster club members he remembered from his Stampede tenure.
"There was one little girl, Sabrina. She was 11. Now she's 20!" he said.
INDEPENDENT LEAGUES:
WELCH TOSSES GEM AS X’s BLANK CAPTAINS
Catcher Ray Serrano continued to give the Sioux City Explorers plenty of offense, rapping three singles and driving in two runs Saturday night at Lewis and Clark Park.
But Serrano, perhaps more acclaimed for the .338 batting average that leads the X’s season-long regulars, also earned some long-overdue kudos for his play behind the dish from pitcher David Welch, a 27-year-old lefthander from Sydney, Australia.
Limiting the playoff-bound Shreveport-Bossier Captains to five hits, two of them in the ninth inning, Welch hurled a five-hit shutout as the Explorers rang up a 7-0 victory that helped keep their postseason hopes alive.
It was just the sixth complete game shutout in the 10-team league this season and three of those are by Sioux City pitchers, counting an abbreviated five-inning gem in a rain-shortened win for Mikael Ryder on Aug. 2.
“It’s what you try and do every time (hold the opposition scoreless),’’ reflected Welch, who matched a season high with 10 strikeouts while walking only one. “It’s a great feeling because you never want to give the ball to your manager.’’
Welch shared the credit with Serrano and also Bobby Post, the Sioux City pitching coach.
“We were in synch all night,’’ he said of his teamwork with Serrano, a 29-year-old veteran from Augusta, Ga. “I barely shook him off the whole night. He called a great game and he caught a great game.’’
Welch improved to 7-5 on the year and his earned run average, 10th best in the league at 4.03 before the contest, improved to 3.63, likely moving him all the way up to fifth.
“Bobby Post has helped me so much this season, I can’t even explain it,’’ said Welch.
The win assured the X’s of a series win against the South Division’s first-half champs, a team with the second best overall record in the league (47-35) and also, making Welch’s effort all the more noteworthy, the second best team batting average (.309).
The Explorers, now 42-40 overall and 25-18 at home, likely remained 2.5 games behind frontrunning Lincoln in the North Division wild-card race. The Saltdogs owned a 11-0 bulge late in a road game at St. Paul at press time for this edition, a win that would send them to 45-38.
“We’re still in position if Sioux Falls keeps winning (and adds the second-half North flag to its first-half title) and we take care of business, we should have a chance at the end of the season,’’ said Manager Les Lancaster, whose Explorers play only three of 13 remaining games at Lewis and Clark after tonight’s 6:05 series finale with the Captains.
Shreveport starter Cardoza Tucker spotted Sioux City a quick run after walking the first two X’s batters in the contest. Serrano’s first hit of the night opened the scoring and produced the only run until a three-run fifth inning gave Welch some breathing room.
After a one-out single by Eric Williams in the fifth, Serrano stroked a two-out RBI single to left field before nine-year major leaguer Jacob Cruz hit a rocket that quickly left the yard in right field for a two-run homer.
The round-tripper was the first of three hits in the game for Cruz, who is a remarkable 13 for 24 (.542) with 13 RBIs in six games since joining the team.
Darrick Hale’s two-out single helped add two runs to the advantage in the sixth after Williams chased Cardoza with an RBI triple and Dustin Jones caught reliever Justin Young offguard with a run-scoring bunt single for a 6-0 lead.
Cruz led off the seventh with a double and scored two batters later on a bloop single by Steve Pearson, capping the scoring.
The shutout win marked the league-high seventh time Sioux City pitchers have blanked an opponent this season, four of those involving help from the bullpen. The X’s only previous nine-inning shutout was turned in June 13 by Jae Jung in a 2-0 win over Wichita, the team to which Jung was recently traded.
Only three other American Association pitchers have gone the distance in a shutout this year, all from the South Division: Shreveport-Bossier’s Osvaldo Rodriguez, El Paso’s Amad Stephens and Pensacola’s David Nathanson.
Welch, who spent his five previous seasons in pro ball in the Milwaukee farm system, had a 37-26 record and a 3.47 ERA in the Brewers’ organization, toiling the last two full seasons as a starter for Huntsville (Ala.) of the Class AA Southern League.
EUROPEAN LEAGUES:
DOOR NEPTUNUS ESCAPES WITH 1-0 WIN
Ruzic throws three scoreless innings
Dushan Ruzic (Darwin NT) hurled three scoreless relief innings and DOOR Neptunus slipped past Eddie Aucoin and the Konica Minolta Pioniers Thursday night to claim a 1-0 extra-innings victory in the opener of their best-of-five series in the first round of the Dutch League Playoffs.
Eugene Kingsale, who reached base three times and swiped a pair of bases, singled to right centre with one out in the 11th. The speedy leadoff man motored to second on a passed ball, stole third base, and cruised home with the winning run on Benjamin Dille’s walkoff base hit.
Ruzic (1-0) walked one batter, and hit another one, over three hitless frames that included five strikeouts.
Neptunus starter Diegomar Markwell was tagged with a no-decision after limiting the Pioniers to a lone hit in a dominating eight-inning stint.
Aucoin, an American who shined in the German League for several years before arriving in Hoofddorp this season, also turned in a steller outing. The right-hander scattered two hits and seven strikeouts over nine shutout innings.
Reliever Arshwin Asies (0-1) was charged with the loss after surrendering two singles and a run in the 11th.
Note: Neptunus went on to win this series three games to nil and will advance to the finals.

Passing of Mr. Desmond KnightPassing of Mr. Desmond Knight.
It is with sad regret that we inform you today of the passing of one of our Clubs forefathers, Windsor Royals Life Member Mr. Desmond Knight. Desmond or Des as he was known, passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of Saturday 21st August 2010 at the age of 91. Des was a founding member of the Windsor Royals Baseball Club, and part of the team who built the field and erected the grandstand. The main grandstand at Holloway Field is named in his honour, for the tireless work and effort that he gave the Club for most of his life.
Des was also the groundsman for the club for 25 years, and spent much of his time coaching and umpiring as well.
From all the members of the Windsor Royals, our thoughts and prayers are with the Knight family during this time..
A memorial for Des Knight will be held at Holloway Field on September 2nd 2010 at 3pm

 Australia defeats USA
Saturday, 21 August 2010
Aussie Women into World Cup Semi Finals after 19-6 mercy win over USAThe Australian women have continued their amazing run of form at the World Cup with a 19-6 annihilation of the USA in front over over 7000 fans in Maracay.
The win secured Australia third position overall and a spot in the medal round where they will play Venezuela on Saturday night.
The Aussies got off to a great start with three run in the top of the first inning thanks to RBI hits from Katie Gaynor, Kim McMillan and Tahnee Lovering.
The USA answered back with one in the bottom half, however Australia took the score out to 7-1 with four runs in the second with RBI hits to Gaynor, Amy McCann and Samantha Hamilton.
In the fourth, Australia edged another run in front after a double from McCann scored Gaynor who also reached on a double.
Heading into the fifth inning with the score 8-2, the Australians piled on another four runs with hits to Bronwyn Gell, Shae Lilliywhite, Christina Kreppold and Gaynor.
In the bottom half, and with the score 12-2 Australia was looking for a mercy end to to the game. However, nerves got the better of the team and three errors allowed the USA to prolong the inevitable and bring the game to 12-6.
And in true fashion of the game, Australia stormed right back with seven runs with hits to Lillywhite, McMillan, McCann and Lovering.
And with the score now 19-6, the USA were retired 1-2-3 to end the game via the mercy rule.
On the mound, sixteen-year-old Melinda Latimer once again showed poise beyond her years in just her second start and she moved to 2-0 after four innings of work which allowed just two earned runs off seven hits. Taylah Welch and Laura Neads relieved Latimer and held on for the win.
With the bat, Gaynor (3-4, 2B, 4 runs, 4 RBIs) was the stand out with McCann (3-3, 2B, 3RBIs, run), McMillan (2-2, 2B, 3RBIs) and Lovering (2-5, 2B, 4 RBIs) and Lillywhite (2-3, 4 runs) also highlights.
Australia will now face Venezuela at 7pm on Satuday night Venezuelan time (9.30am AEST Sunday) for a spot in the gold medal game. Japan will face the USA for the other position with the losers to play for bronze.
