Newark won their 5th in a row yesterday, a 4-2 defeat of Blue Ridge. James Shields held the Bombers to just 3 hits in 8 innings, while Joey Devine picked up his league-leading 24th save. Meanwhile Fausto Carmona was decent for Blue Ridge (7 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 6 K), but took the loss. It was Blue Ridge's 8th straight defeat.
Team Buddah stunned Arkansas yesterday 5-3, dealing the Falcons a small setback in pursuit of a .500 record. Ian Stewart was 3-4 with a home run and 3 RBIs and Jesse Litsch improved to 6-10 on the season with a solid 6-inning effort. The Falcons could only get 6 hits in the game, though 3 of them were doubles.
Amityville outlasted Philadelphia in a 12-inning slugfest, 13-12. Jose Lopez was 4-6 with 3 runs and Eric Hinske had 4 RBIs for Amityville. For the losing side, Albert Pujols was 4-7 with 5 RBIs, Andre Ethier was 4-5 and Jimmy Rollins scored 4 runs. The Ant Slayer took an early 8-5 lead after two innings (that's right TWO innings), then expanded it to 11-6, but Philly climbed back and tied it in the final two innings. Philly went up by one in the 12th on a Pujols double, but the Slayers won it in the bottom half on a two-run Kelly Johnson pinch-hit home run.
