Fighting Irish Team owner/GM: Tim Plate Hometown: Maryland Best Finish: Third (1997)

Irish notes (updated 6/4/98):

Andruw Jones (15C) quietly has increased his average from below .200 to .270 heading into Wednesday's game vs. the Brewers. In the last 15 games he's hit .415 and was 7-for-17 on the road trip with six RBI in five games...Sean Berry (20B) left Tuesday's win vs. the Padres after irritating a sprained knuckle on his left hand during an at-bat and did not start Wednesday; Tim Bogar (Infections, 10R) is playing in Berry's place....Nice start Monday for Javier Vazquez (5A), who threw seven solid innings in a loss to Philly...Andy Fox (3A) has earned the starting 2B job in Arizona; he's been hitting leadoff recently.
