Minor League Team Recaps
Louisville Bats - AAA
At 88-56 the Bats set a franchise record for wins in a season and clinched their fourth International League West
Division title. It marked the club’s third consecutive winning season.
Louisville’s 88 regular season wins ranked T2nd in all of the minor leagues (August 88-50, Myrtle Beach 89-51).
The ‘08 Bats became the first team in franchise history to win 40 games both at home (44-28) and on the road (44-28).
Louisville’s season ended when they fell in the first round of the IL playoffs to eventual champion Durham.
Rick Sweet was named International League Manager of the Year and passed former Louisville skipper Dave
Miley (296-245) as the club’s all-time winningest manager (303-272). Sweet and C Ryan Hanigan were named to the
post-season IL All-Star team. On July 16, Louisville’s Slugger Field hosted the Triple-A All-Star Game, with Hanigan
and RHP Jon Adkins representing the Bats.
1B Kevin Barker and Adkins shared the 2008 Mary E. Barney Award as the team’s co-Most Valuable Players.
Barker led the Bats with 21 HR, 77 RBI and 73 runs, while Adkins led the league with 30 saves.
LHP Adam Pettyjohn paced the team with 15 victories, tying the club’s all-time single-season mark. For the ninth
straight season, Louisville led the International League in attendance. The Bats averaged 9,152 fans per game at
Slugger Field (631,457).

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Dayton Dragons - A
The Dayton Dragons went 66-72 (.478) and completed their ninth consecutive sell-out season (636
straight sellouts at Fifth Third Field). It marks the longest current sellout streak in professional sports, the longest
ever sellout streak in professional baseball and the third-longest ever sellout streak in pro sports. This season they
surpassed the 5 million mark in all-time attendance, faster than any team in the history of Single-A baseball.
After a 28-40 first half, the Dragons went 38-30 after the break and qualified for the playoffs as the Midwest League’s
Eastern Division second-half Wildcard winner. After defeating Lansing in the first round of the playoffs, they fell to
South Bend in Round 2. It was Dayton’s first trip to the league’s semifinals since 2001.
RHP Luis Montano (12w), SS Zack Cozart (.280ba) and 3B Brandon Waring (20hr, 71rbi, 23 2B) were among
team leaders. IF Neftali Soto, 19, who joined the Dragons on 7/6, was named the Midwest League’s 10th-best
prospect by Baseball America.

After playing their first 14 games on the road while construction of their new ballpark was completed, the Billings
Mustangs roared to a 23-15 record and clinched the Pioneer League’s North Division first-half title. The Mustangs
then went 19-17 to earn the second-half crown as well. They were eliminated by Great Falls in the first round of the
Pioneer League playoffs.
Overall, the 42-32 Mustangs were led by OF David Sappelt (.299, 6sb), OF Tony Brown (12hr, 47rbi), LHP
Jamie Arneson (6w, 60k), RHP Oscar Castro (4.14era) and RHP Randall Linebaugh (5sv). IF Alex Buchholz
(.455, 30-66) and OF Tyler Stovall (.354, 23-65) each had 16-game hitting streaks. Buchholz reached base safely
in 33 of his 34 appearances.
Julio Garcia, in his first season in the organization, was named Pioneer League Manager of the Year.
