Hoboken continued their tear, winning 11-2 over the Mudcats. The win was the Cutters third in a row and their seventh of their last eight. John Garland evened his record at 12-12 while pitching 7.2 solid innings and Bill Hall was 2-3 with 2 RBIs and a homer. The win severely cripples the Mudcats' playoff hopes. Meanwhile Hoboken is dearly holding on to the sixth spot, though they are actually tied for fifth with Hillsborough. The Hitmen hold the tiebreaker over the Cutters.
It was not a good day for the other wild card contenders.
The Bushslappers continue to be caught in an unfortunately timed slump, losing 6-5 to Marietta. D.C. has now lost six of their last eight and are only 1 1/2 games up on sixth-place Honolulu. Honolulu meanwhile was smoked 10-5 by South Boston and Hillsborough was obliterated 11-1 by Newark. Only Vancouver could manage a victory yesterday - an 8-7 squeaker over Team Buddah.
Juan Cruz bounced back from his recent rough outing by pitching seven shutout innings against the Straphangers in yesterday's 4-0 victory. Cruz allowed six hits and two walks while striking out six to improve to 4-2 on the season.
Look for a new Numbers Crunch tonight.
