The Straphangers took two games from the Falcons yesterday, becoming the final DMBL team to earn its 10th victory of the season. The Straphangers are now tied with the Mighty Men for 13th overall. An Alex Rodriguez error in the seventh inning of the first game gave the Sardines a 3-2 victory. The two teams both made costly errors - both teams only gave up one earned run each - forcing both starters to accept a no-decision despite solid performances. In game two, Fausto Carmona pitched six shutout innings to earn his second win of the year. Ryan Braun and B.J. Upton hit back-to-back homers in the fourth to give the Hangmen a 2-1 win.
The Falcons were so frustrated by the lack of offense that they ripped up the roster and jettisoned outfielder Joey Gathright, catcher Brad Ausmus, and second baseman Mark Ellis. In their place, the Falcons signed DMBL veteran second bagger Luis Castillo, recent Hillsborough castoff Ryan Ludwick, and catcher Yorvit Torrealba, who was with Marietta earlier this year.
Randy Johnson struck out 13 Hitmen in seven innings en route to a 5-1 win for the Sugar Bears, completing a 4-game sweep. Newark is now 19-0 in the Cereal Bowl this season.
New This Week in DMBL coming up later tonight...
