Jackson leads Sardines to victory

Blue Ridge stole one away from the Falcons yesterday. The Falcons posted a quick 4-0 lead but the Bombers came back and knotted the game in the 5th. The Falcons took the lead again in the 8th when Lance Berkman doubled in Ray Durham. But Joakim Soria couldn't hold it down in the 9th. He started the inning with a walk and a single. A sac bunt put the runners in scoring position and pinch hitter Hunter Pence came through with a bloop into center field that scored both runners, giving the Bombers a 6-5 victory.

Conor Jackson was 3-3 with 4 RBIs, including a triple, a homer and a stolen base to lead the Sardine City Straphangers to a 10-4 drubbing of Carolina. Evan Longoria also had 3 hits in the game and Alexei Ramirez was 2-4 with a triple and 2 RBIs. Cole Hamels evened his record at 3-3 with an 8-inning performance, limiting the Cats to 7 hits and one earned run.

The Sugar Bears offense was firing on all cylinders in yesterday's blowout win against Las Vegas. J.D. Drew was 3-4 with 2 homers and 5 RBIs, Bobby Abreu also hit 2 homers, Chipper Jones went 3-5 with a measly one homer 2 RBI and Mike Fontenot (yesterday's goat) was also 3-5. In total, the Sugar Bears hit 8 home runs (and Vegas hit 4 in defeat) in the 16-9 victory.

Scott Kazmir 2-hit the Hired Hitmen for 7 innings before giving way to Dan Wheeler, who preserved the 8-0, 2-hit shutout for the Endzone Animals. Kazmir struck out 8 Hitmen and walked 3. Albert Pujols was 4-5 with a homer and a double and 3 RBIs.
