Small note in Luis Alicea'a blog. All it says is that Maxwell was effective in his first outing.

Update from Alicea's blog

Blake Maxwell, a pitcher that could be in Greenville this season, pitched very effectively for two innings. He is a side armed pitcher who some batters have a hard time figuring out.

Maxwell on to Greenville

[drtooth]

Good start of the season for Maxwell.
Link from Greenville Drive site

Blake Maxwell threw a perfect ninth inning by striking back-to-back batters, and then induced Juan Rivera into a game ending pop-out to Luis Segovia at second base.

BTW--Greenville beat Columbus 6-1

[drtooth]

Rough night in Greenville

Blake Maxwell then replaced (J.T.)Zink. Godwin reached by a hit by pitch and the proceeded to steal second. Pinch hitter Russ Mitchell followed with an infield single which let Godwin advance to third. Columbus got their final run of the inning when Godwin scored on Eduardo Perez’s fielder’s choice.

Maxwell gives up 2 unearned runs in 8-4 Drive loss

Augusta added two more insurance runs, unearned, in the bottom of the seventh off of Drive pitcher Blake Maxwell. Yens got the inning started by reaching on a throwing error by Granadillo at third base. Gunther and Mooney would then hit back-to-back singles to center with Yens scoring on Mooney’s hit. Eugenio Velez then walked to load the bases with one out. Gunther scored Augusta’s final run when Anthony Contreras grounded into a fielder’s choice.

Maxwell gets 2nd save.

Down 7-2, Kannapolis would add two more runs in the top of the ninth but it was too little too late. Cunningham homered to right and Sanchez, who singled, scored on Rodriguez’s double down the left field line. Blake Maxwell then relieved Cox to shut the door on Kannapolis by inducing the next two batters to ground out. It was Maxwell’s second save of the season.
