For the fifth straight time in the Newark-Hillsborough series, the road team has won - that's bad news for Newark, who has the home field "advantage" in this series. The Hitmen were all over the Sugar Bears in yesterday's game, pounding Newark for an 8-3 final score. Billy Butler was the star on offense, hitting 2 home runs and driving in 4. Overall the Hitmen only had one more hit than Newark (11-10), but they had 7 extra base hits compared to Newark's 2. Dan Haren pitched a solid game for Hillsborough, giving them 7 innings of one-run ball, striking out 7 and walking 2. The two teams travel back to Hillsborough for game 6 on Friday. Will the road teams' luck hold out and keep Newark alive? Or will Hillsborough reverse the trend and play in their first ever World Series?
Marietta and Carolina resume their series today in Carolina where we'll see a rematch of Game 1. As you may recall, the Mudcats shellacked the Mighty Men 11-0 in that game behind Roy Halladay's 4-hit performance. The Mighty Men will be hoping for a different result, no doubt.
