June 24, 2012 – Alaska Goldpanners vs. Fairbanks Goldpanners (G2)
JUNE 24, 2012
ALASKA GOLDPANNERS
vs.
MIDNIGHT SUN GOLDPANNERS
GAME TWO
7:00 PM – GROWDEN MEMORIAL PARK; BROADCAST LASTED FROM 3PM-9PM
UPDATE: The Alaska Goldpanners defeated the Fairbanks Goldpanners 7-0, winning the series at 2-0. Yet again, the game was close for most of the game due to the Fairbanks starting pitcher. Yesterday, it was Christoph Falke; today it was Fairbanks starter Steve Shaver who provided an effective pitching performance… having a great deal of fun with his command.
By the way, Christoph Falke accomplished a rare feat on Saturday with his start for the Midnight Sun Goldpanners. He became the third player in history to start a game for the organization while a sitting member of the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks board of directors. The other two are Emmitt Wilson and Sean Timmons.
A number of items came into clearer focus for the Alaska Goldpanners during this series. Matt's Nadolski's role in the field is very promising. Allowing a pitcher this much time to develop their offensive skills harkens back to the many times this approach has worked in the past for Jim Dietz and his assistant coaches.
The Alaska Goldpanners' pitching selections for the Fairbanks series were our two outstanding prep prospects out of Oregon. Lots of speed, lots of energy. Hope to see them pitch in Wichita this year, even though it wouldn't be with the Goldpanners. That is, unless we can warm the Fairbanks community to the idea.

Eighty pictures is enough for our last post, so I'm splitting up the pictures. Also, these pictures tell a different story than the pre-game shots. For the second year in a row, the Midnight Sun Goldpanners played the Alaska Goldpanners tough right out of the gate.
In fact, the game was tied at one until the bottom of the fifth, thanks for dazzling pitching by Christoph Falke (94-96-12). Falke threw everything in the book at the varsity Panners. He mixed knucklers in with more traditional pitches -- all the while displaying solid pitch placement.
On the offensive side, discipline at the plate led to many base runners for the junior squad. Timely hitting by Adam Cornachionne brought in a run to tie the game at one in the fourth. At one point, the Midnight Sun Goldpanners had more hits than the Alaska Goldpanners.
Anyway, it was very good baseball.. with a higher level of intensity and sportsmanship than is often seen in such mis-matches. Make no mistake, however - the Midnight Sun Goldpanners believe they can beat the Alaska Goldpanners.
Come to the park at 7pm to see what happens.. or you can watch live on PannerVision! Broadcast day start should be in early afternoon. Details will be posted to this location.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- If having difficulties, check your firewall settings to allow Media Player to actually access the internet.
Q: Can I watch the broadcast on my Mac computer?
- A: Yes! Simply download Windows Media Components for QuickTime HERE
Q: Can I watch the broadcast on my TV?
- A: Yes! Broadcasts can be plugged into most TVs using either component or (preferably) HDMI inputs. Broadcast works for flat screen TVs of any size. Simply plug into your TV's input jack using you computer output (perhaps need to upgrade video card). For more help, contact me.
Q: I keep getting kicked off or rebuffered. Or my picture is not clear (perhaps a series of horizontal lines)
- A1: The live video broadcast is designed only for DSL modems at this time. If your video connection isn't meeting with your approval, try viewing the game at a friend's house, or an Internet Cafe.
- A2: Oftentimes, pressing "stop" on your Media Player and then "start" will be enough to re-establish a reliable connection. Stick with it for a while, even if it "freezes." There are MANY packets of information traveling between the server and your computer, so be patient.
Q: I got cut off by my server who said it had no more streams... or "Server Busy." What can I do?
- A: Keep trying and you will get it opened again. Sometimes waiting a few minutes for them to not be so busy will help, and then bring it up again. On the rare occasion, there is a technical problem in Fairbanks (such as an component rebooting during the evening when nobody is around). Please be patient, and feel free to contact me (Todd Dennis) at 907-750-0099 or via email at todd@goldpanners.com.
Q: Why did my broadcast end abruptly?
- A: Technical glitches cause a few disruptions a day. Please check back in about 5 minutes. Sorry about that!
Q: How can I enlarge the screen and see the game better?

- A2: At the top-right of your WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER are three function buttons. To maximize your screen, click the "Square" symbol in the middle of the "Line" and the "X" symbol.
