Mizzou in the Majors & Minors

A couple of quotes about Mizzou's former 1-2 pitching punch, Crow and Zagone:

Do plans still call to convert Aaron Crow to a starter in spring training this year?

Dayton Moore: We do expect to bring him into spring training and compete for a spot in the rotation.

♦ Keys' Zagone gives up two home runs as Nats knot series (fredericknewspost.com)

The Keys' Rick Zagone seemed confused, and that's never a good feeling for a pitcher to have.

Frederick's left-handed starter gave up a pair of early home runs in the second game of the Northern Division Championship series on Friday night as the Potomac Nationals went on to an 8-0 win that evened the series 1-1 at Harry Grove Stadium.

Potomac's Brian Peacock hit the first home run off Zagone, a two-run shot in the first inning, while Francisco Soriano followed with a three-run blast in the second.

"The two home runs I gave up were actually on balls," Zagone said. "The first was inside off the plate and the other outside, maybe a strike, a borderline pitch."
