Bibens-Dirkx Likely to Start Game 1 for Peoria

On Friday night, Ex-Seal Austin Bibens-Dirkx had his first bad outing since joining the Peoria Chiefs in early July. Bibens-Dirkx gave up 4 earned runs in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Kane County Cougars. His ERA "rose" to 2.04 on the season, while his record fell to 7-2.

In his 70 2/3 innings since joining the Midwest League ("A" ball) team, Bibens-Dirkx has struck out 50 and only walked 9 batters. Opponents are hitting a paltry .215 against him.

Bibens-Dirkx will likely start Game 1 of the Western Division Championship Series against the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Wednesday September 9th.

About This Blog

The Victoria Seals Baseball Blog (VSBB) was founded as an outlet for our opinions, observations and random musings on the Victoria Seals, a defunct team that played in the Golden Baseball League in 2009 and 2010. Now that the team has ceased operations, this blog will post follow-up stories about our beloved Seals and those related to the return of elite level baseball to Victoria.
