Arkansas pounded out a 10-7 victory against D.C. yesterday. Justin Morneau had 4 RBIs and the Falcon bullpen pitched 4 1/3 innings to bail out starter Dan Haren. The Falcon Nation held their collective breaths as Kenny Lofton had to leave the game in the fifth inning, but the news out of Arkansas is that Lofton will return for the Falcons next game Thursday.
A 6-run fourth inning propelled the Hoboken Cutters to an 8-6 win over Marietta. Mike Napoli went 2-4 with 2 homers and 4 RBIs as the Cutters moved to within one game of the final wild card spot.
Philly doubled up South Boston 6-3, though Johan Santana just missed becoming the first 16 game winner this season. Santana pitched seven solid innings though he was trailing for much of the game until Philly rallied to tie it in the sixth.
Many teams shored up their rosters in anticipation of a playoff run. Newark signed a third catcher in Brian Schneider, while Hoboken picked up second baseman Jose Valentin. Philadelphia re-signed veteran Todd Walker who had filled in earlier in the season.
