Win some, lose some

Well two winless teams picked up their first victories yesterday and two undefeated teams suffered their first loss.

No, the Sugar Bears are still undefeated and back up to their old tricks. The Bears continued pounding away at the league, trouncing South Boston, 12-2. Javy Vazquez earned the victory, holding the Gang to only three hits over 6.1 innings - revenge factor?

D.C. and Hoboken each won their first games of the season. Both won by one run with D.C. going to extra innings to break their losing streak. Hoboken handed Hillsborough their first loss of the year. Meanwhile, Vancouver dropped their first in a close match with Marietta. There are three winless and three undefeated teams remaining and both new expansion teams are still in the hunt for their first win of the year.

Carolina's Juan Rivera gets the batting line of the night award. Rivera was 3-3 with 5 RBIs and 2 homers on the night, leading the Cats to a 12-3 pounding of the Rat Pack.

Marietta rookie Jeremy Sowers had the top pitching performance last night, holding the Iron Fist in check for eight innings, striking out seven and allowing only two runs on five hits.
