Underwood led the team with 12 homers and 65 RBI while the Splashes improved by three wins (57\u201394) but remained in 7th place. Clark Strickland, signed out of high school in May, made his big league debut in August.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;996&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505199598351{padding-bottom: 84px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505106988614{padding-right: 30px !important;}&#8221;][stm_coach_excerption title=&#8221;Coach\u2019s Welcome&#8221; name=&#8221;Michael Stevenson&#8221; excerption=&#8221;The Splashes debut in the modern day game was not a stellar one, as they finished 54\u2013100 and 57 games back in the division.
