Newark won its 5th straight and Hoboken lost their 5th straight as the Sugar Bears defeated the Cutters 8-5. The Cutters actually held a 5-3 lead entering the 9th inning, but their bullpen fell apart. Ramon Vazquez singled in a run after reliever Chad Bradford had put two of the first three batters on base, followed by four straight run-scoring singles, giving the Sugar Bears an 8-5 lead. It could have been worse for the Cutters, as Manny Ramirez was retired with the bases loaded for the final out. Bobby Abreu was 3-5 with 3 RBIs and Vazquez finished 3-4.
Speaking of comebacks, Amityville mounted a nice little come-from-behind win against the Rat Pack, when Trevor Hoffman failed to hold on to a 4-2 lead. Hoffman entered in the 8th with runners on first and second and promptly gave up a three-run shot to Eric Hinske. Hoffman fell to 1-7 on the season and now sports a spiffy 9.56 ERA.
Hillsborough scored 7 runs in the 2nd inning to propel the team to a 13-3 blasting the suddenly ice cold Mighty Men. Kelly Shoppach was 3-5 with 4 RBIs, Mike Lowell was 2-3 with 3 RBIs, and Brad Hawpe was 3-5 with 2 RBIs to lead the Hitmen offense. Mighty Men starter Ryan Dempster was blasted for 7 runs in 1.1 innings as the Mighty Men dropped their 4th straight.
Justin Morneau homered in the 9th to send the D.C.-Arkansas game to extra innings. But it was all for naught, when Hideki Matsui gave D.C. the lead back for good in the 13th. But that wasn't the longest game of the evening. Vancouver and Blue Ridge went 16 innings before Chris Ianetta broke the tie in the bottom of the inning to give the Bombers a 6-5 victory.
