The Sugar Bears scored quickly in yesterday's Game 2 and took an early 2-0 series lead heading back to Newark. The Sugar Bears tallied 4 runs in the first inning after Will Venable hit a 2-run homer and Manny Ramirez tripled in a run and later scored. Venable hit his second homer of the night in the 3rd to extend the lead to 5-0. Sardine City finally got on the board in the 4th on a Nyjer Morgan single. Manny Ramirez regained the run for the Sugar Bears with an RBI single in the 7th. The Sardine offense woke up in the bottom of the 7th when James Loney hit a 3-run double to bring the score to 6-4. Travis Hafner led off the 9th with a double, but was left stranded after the next three batters were retired on easy popups by Kiko Calero.

Mudcats rally, steal win from Hitmen
Carolina rallied in the 9th to steal a victory from Hillsborough. Down 5-3, Jeff Francoeur led off the inning with a double, then scored on a Troy Tulowitzki single. Prince Fielder then gave the Cats the lead with a 2-run home run, his 13th of the season. C. J. Wilson struck out the side in the bottom of the 9th to nail down his 6th save.
Ricky Nolasco and the Falcons shut out Vancouver yesterday 3-0, holding the Fist to just 4 hits and striking out 12 batters. After losing 5 straight, the Falcons now won two in a row but have a long way to go to get back into the competition. The Falcons sit 10 1/2 games out of 1st, but with Johan Santana and Cliff Lee starting to pitch better, it's too early to count them out.
Newark evened their record at 22-22 with a 10-7 win over Amityville. Mark Rzepczynski held the Ant Slayers to one run on 5 hits in 6 innings despite walking 6. The Ant Slayers made it closer than it appeared by scoring 6 runs in the 8th, but fell short. Will Venable and Manny Ramirez were each 3-4 with 4 RBIs, with Venable hitting two homers.
Nice pitchers duel in Philadelphia where the two teams were held to a combined 7 hits. Philly's Matt Cain held the Buddahs to 3 hits, but gave up 2 runs and took the loss. Andy Pettite earned the win with 6.2 shutout innings, giving up just 3 hits and walking 7. Unfortunately for Philly, they lost more than the game, as Adam Lind was lost to injury for at least a week.
Blue Ridge, a surprise contender so far, took down the first-place Bridgewater Mallers 8-2 behind a stellar performance from rookie J.A. Happ. Happ pitched 8 innings and held the Mallers to 5 hits and 2 runs while striking out 8. Aaron Hill hit a grand slam in the 2nd inning - it was his 7th of the year.
