Billy Wagner must have been preoccupied with his Pitcher of the Week award yesterday and failed to save the game against the Endzone Animals last night. Vancouver was clinging to a 4-3 lead in the 9th inning. Wagner had already gotten out of a jam in the 8th and got the first two batters out in the 9th. But Gerald Laird, a former Vancouver player, took Wagner deep to center to tie the game up and go to extra innings. In the 11th, Vancouver exploded for 5 runs. Philly got a solo homer in the bottom half of the inning, but that was all they could get.
Hillsborough kept pace with the Fist, winning their matchup with D.C. 5-2. C.C. Sabathia improved to 3-0 on the season with an 8-inning, 7-hit performance, in which he only gave up one run. Hillsborough still holds a percentage-point lead over Vancouver in the Morris Division.
Marietta has won their 5th in a row and has stormed back into contention for the Hanover Divison. The Mighty Men pounded away on the Sugar Bears yesterday 11-2. Josh Hamilton was 5-5 with a homer and two doubles and Ryan Dempster held the Sugar Bears to 2 hits and no runs over 6 innings. Dempster also struck out 6. The Mighty Men, who were 4-7 before the streak, are now 9-7 and alone in 2nd place in the division.
