Captains Blog - Hoping to get in some games between all the rain

Former Strongsville High product Anthony Gallas has had a productive spring for the Lake County Captains, despite all the rain.

Anthony Gallas of Strongsville High School and Kent State and Alex Lavisky of St. Edward are farmhands in the Indians organization, both currently playing for the Lake County Captains. They will share their thoughts on their season in an occasional blog.

Gallas, 23, was named the Indians Minor League Player of the Week on Monday after hitting .450 (9-for-20) with 5 runs scored, 3 doubles, a homer and 3 RBI in 6 games for the Captains. Last week, he was named the Midwest League Player of the Week and on the year he’s hitting .356 (42-118) with 24 runs scored, 16 doubles, 4 HR and 13 RBI in 31 games.

Gallas filed this update before the Captains defeated Fort Wayne on Wednesday:

Hey we’re on a long home stand out here in Eastlake. Technically I should say a stretch of off days because of this fabulous NE Ohio weather. We’ve had 3 games in a row get rained out. I can’t believe this weather this year, it seriously is the worst I have ever seen for the spring.

So far in May we haven’t played up to our potential and we’re trying to get back on track. Hopefully we will get on the field the next few days and get some rhythm going into Dayton.

It’s always great to play the Dayton Dragons. They have an impressive scoreboard, big league facilities and a sold out crowd every night.
