| Breaking News |  | Friday, June 1st, 2007: Rabe Named SL2 Batter of the Month
Josh Rabe is not used to being associated with Batter of the Month-caliber players, but today the Birmingham left fielder joined that select company when the Sub League 2 announced the results of May's voting.
Rabe totaled 40 hits, 24 walks, 3 home runs, 20 RBIs and 19 runs scored last month to put together a .408 batting average and .524 on-base percentage.
In 55 games this season Rabe is batting .338 with 71 hits and 5 home runs. He has scored 36 runs and driven in 33. |
| Monday, May 28th, 2007: Hit Streak Now at 25 for Rabe
The Snipes proved to be mere mortals today as they lost to the Copperheads 7-6, but Josh Rabe continued his god-like hitting as he collected 2 hits and ran his hitting streak to 25 games.
When asked about his torrid-hitting left fielder, the Birmingham skipper said, "Rabe is playing great and is on fire now. Hopefully his play can spark the rest of our team and help us pick up some wins."
Rabe was apparently not happy with the game and when pressed by reporters in the locker room only said, "We lost the game. Nothing else really matters."
J. Rabe grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and walked in a run in the 9th.
Looking at his 2007 season stats, Rabe has compiled a .327 batting average in 52 games with a .422 on-base percentage, while hitting 5 home runs and driving in 30 runs. |
| Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007: Rabe Keeps Hit Streak Alive
Josh Rabe of the Birmingham Snipes just keeps going and going. The hot-hitting left fielder went 2-for-4 in his team's 2-1 victory over the Kendall Advancers at Snipes Ballpark and extended his hitting streak to 20 games.
"He is definitely on a roll right now" said a Advancers pitcher. "I thought I made some good pitches against him, but he's a good hitter and hit 'em anyway."
When asked about his performance, Rabe said, "I don't care if I go hitless as long as we get the win."
J. Rabe flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off J. Unknown in the 3rd, doubled in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th.
So far in 2007 Rabe is hitting .311 with 4 home runs, 23 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He has 57 hits and played in 47 games. |
