Vancouver and Arkansas battled it out yesterday to a 10-7 conclusion. The Falcons fell behind early - Vancouver scored 5 runs in the 4th to take a 5-1 lead, but the Falcons clawed back and eventually took the lead, 6-5 on a Chris Coghlan single. Vancouver tied it up the next inning when Marlon Byrd walked with the bases loaded, then the next batter, Garrett Jones, hit a pinch hit grand slam to give the Fist a 10-6 lead. The Falcons got another run, but that was it for them. Coghlan ended the game 4-5 with 2 RBIs and teammate Skip Schumaker was 5-6 for the Falcons in defeat.
In another tight game, Newark and Amityville fought a much lower scoring duel. Tied up early 1-1, Newark took a 2-1 lead in the 6th on a Nick Johnson solo homer. Amityville took the lead in the 8th, but the Sugar Bears tied it up in the top of the ninth. The Sugar Bears got into quick trouble in the bottom of the 9th, loading the bases with no outs. After retiring Matt Kemp on a shallow popup, Jason Kubel hit an easy double play ball to the third base side, but Chase Headley threw the ball into centerfield, allowing the winning run to score.
Don't forget to cast your votes for the 2010 All-Star Game. Last year there was a record number of votes cast, hopefully there'll be a good turnout this year as well.
