Week 3: Climb to Mediocrity and a Catcher Spotlight

Eureka has begun to climb toward the level of mediocrity anticipated for the team by the owner, going 4-2 in week 3, to move to 7-12.  Though 3rd in the standings, the office is beginning to come around, and leads the division in doubles and triples.  However, the fast runners, who have been given a loose rein to run, have not cut loose on the base paths, stealing only 5 bases through the first 5 games.  Catchers Franklin Tucker and David Rivera are not providing much offense, but are very solid defensively, calling good games and demonstrating strong arms on throws to 2nd.  David Rivera, however, has the much better catcher ERA, with 3.45 to Franklin Tucker's 5.09 catcher ERA.
