Paul Maholm outduelled Ted Lilly yesterday as the Iron Fist blanked the Bombers 1-0. Maholm was called in for an emergency start when Hiroki Kuroda was used in extra innings the day before. Maholm had won a roster spot after spring training but lost it first to Kuroda, then to Greg Maddux. Meanwhile, Maholm pitched 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball, striking out 10 and walking three in his return start. Lilly went the distance for Blue Ridge, holding the Fist to only 4 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 5. The sole run scored in the 6th when Victor Martinez doubled in Curtis Granderson to break the 0-0 tie.
Arkansas and D.C. once again went into extra innings, this time Arkansas won it 9-8 in 12. With a 5-5 tie in the 10th, D.C. scored three runs, but the Falcons came back, tying the score on a 2-run Ivan Rodriguez home run. Finally in the 12th, Skip Schumaker drove in Rodriguez on a single over the shortstop's head.
Newark won its 6th in a row behind a 2-hit shutout by Chien-Ming Wang. Wang improved to 13-2 on the season in the 4-0 victory. Ramon Vazquez was 3-3 in the game for Newark.
