Pitchers, pitchers, who's got some pitchers?

That could be the pressing question for Jim McHugh, the manager of the Pahrump Valley Post 22 American Legion baseball team.

"I don't ever want to do this again ... play 12 games in seven days," said McHugh, after the Trojans shelled Las Vegas Del Sol 16-9 in a Southern Nevada Silver Division game Wednesday at Honeysuckle Park. The only redeeming factor in this grinding schedule was that not all of those 12 games counted in the Silver Division. The Trojans are 2-1 in their last three division games.

"Brandon (Uyeno) was the ninth pitcher we've used in the last week," said McHugh. "We've pitched about everybody we have on the roster, but who's going to pitch Thursday? I don't know."

The Trojans, now 7-6 in the Silver Division, played at Eldorado High School Thursday, against Desert Pines and Eldorado. Both counted in the Silver Division.

"We play those two games, then we're off until Wednesday (when the Trojans face Arbor View in a division contest at 5 p.m. at Honeysuckle Park)," said McHugh. "Then we're off until July 24, when we finish the season against Durango and Bishop Gorman (in Silver contests at Peccole Park in Las Vegas)."

Still to be determined: theTrojans have suspended division games against Centennial and Vo-Tech to complete.

"We will probably go into Vegas to one site and play both teams from the point of the games where they were stopped," said McHugh. One was stopped when the sprinkler system came on; the second was halted because timers turned off the lights.

The Trojans, who lost 12-6 to Shadow Ridge and defeated Vo-Tech 8-7 in completed division games, trailed Del Sol's Dragons 4-2 and 9-8 before scoring eight runs in their last two at-bats Wednesday at Honeysuckle Park.

Alex Bietar drove in two runs with a double and another with a bases-loaded walk to help those late-inning rallies. Dax Duesing had a run-scoring double and Daniel Miller had three RBI in the game. Ethan Wald added a pair of RBI.

Defensively, Cody Nielsen came up with two big seventh-inning plays at shortstop to short-circuit the Dragons comeback attempt.

Uyeno, a lefthander, pitched the distance, striking out six, walking two and allowing 11 hits and seven earned runs.

The Trojans will be without centerfield Iggy Wagner for the remainder of the season because of a shoulder injury.
