Barber Blisters Yuma Monday, September 1st , 2025 A jubilant Mike Barber joined the postgame press conference at Yuma Grounds to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Yuma Gnomes pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Houston Apollos second baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-7 hitting performance, which led to the 17-4 Apollos win. "He made it look easy," said John Love, manager of the Gnomes. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Mike Barber singled in the 1st, hit a GRAND SLAM off Jaheim Covington in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, struck out in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
