Carolina evened their series with Hillsborough, scoring 5 runs in the 8th to win 8-5. The Cats started the inning with back to back doubles, then Xavier Nady was hit by a pitch. After some grumbling, the Hitmen opted to put Jose Arredondo in to relieve Felix Hernandez. After walking the first batter to load the bases, Arredondo struck out Mike Aviles for the first out. But Bengie Molina hit a base hit that scored two runs, giving the Cats the lead back. The Cats extended the lead by two more runs then retired the side in order to preserve the victory.
Amityville took two in a row against first-place Newark with a 9-7 win yesterday. Roy Oswalt won his 11th, pitching 7 innings and giving up 3 runs on 6 hits. It was the first time Newark lost back to back games in more than a month.
Chad Billingsley struck out 13 Falcons in 6.1 innings while holding them to 1 run on 6 hits in a 6-2 win. Ricky Nolasco was pounded for 6 runs and 8 hits in 2 innings in the loss. It was Vancouver's 3rd straight win.
