Newark took the first game of their series against Las Vegas with a 6-3 win in the House yesterday. The Sugar Bears scored 6 runs in the final three innings to grab the lead. Recently activated Pat Neshek took the brunt of the damage, surrendering 4 runs in 2.1 innings. Newark stretched their division lead to 2 games. Game two is later tonight.
Tampa Bay has gone as cold as their manager recently, dropping 12 out of their last 15, falling four games under .500 and out of a playoff spot. Tampa is now two games behind Hillsborough for that 6th spot and they're looking over their shoulder as fellow first-year franchise Blue Ridge is only 2 games behind them.
Jake Peavy won his league-leading 14th game of the season against Arkansas, clinging to a 3-2 victory. Peavy surrendered only 3 hits in his 7 innings of work, while striking out 9. Peavy is now in striking distance of the "Pitching Triple Crown" - third in ERA with 2.97 (.21 behind leader Ted Lilly) and 9 strikeouts behind Las Vegas' Erik Bedard.
