Marietta evened up their series with Newark, dealing the Sugar Bears their first loss of the postseason. The Sugar Bears jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first, and extended it to 4-1 after a 2-run Juan Rivera homer in the 3rd. But in the bottom of the 3rd, Adrian Gonzalez hit a 3-run homer to tie up the game at 4-4. Alberto Callaspo's RBI single in the 5th gave the Mighty Men their first lead and Chone Figgins hit a double to make the lead 6-4. An error by Willy Aybar made the lead 7-4. The Mighty Men tacked on another run in the late innings to make the score 8-4. Mike Adams pitched the final 3 innings, giving up only 1 hit and striking out 4 to earn a save.
Bridgewater and Vancouver resume their series today with the Iron Fist trailing the Mallers 2-0. Randy Wells will attempt to get Vancouver back into the series, while the Mallers will rely on Josh Beckett to bring Vancouver to the brink. Vancouver is 0-3 against Beckett this season and the Mallers are 2-1 against Wells, including one game in which Beckett outdueled Wells.

Win some, lose some
Well two winless teams picked up their first victories yesterday and two undefeated teams suffered their first loss.
No, the Sugar Bears are still undefeated and back up to their old tricks. The Bears continued pounding away at the league, trouncing South Boston, 12-2. Javy Vazquez earned the victory, holding the Gang to only three hits over 6.1 innings - revenge factor?
D.C. and Hoboken each won their first games of the season. Both won by one run with D.C. going to extra innings to break their losing streak. Hoboken handed Hillsborough their first loss of the year. Meanwhile, Vancouver dropped their first in a close match with Marietta. There are three winless and three undefeated teams remaining and both new expansion teams are still in the hunt for their first win of the year.
Carolina's Juan Rivera gets the batting line of the night award. Rivera was 3-3 with 5 RBIs and 2 homers on the night, leading the Cats to a 12-3 pounding of the Rat Pack.
Marietta rookie Jeremy Sowers had the top pitching performance last night, holding the Iron Fist in check for eight innings, striking out seven and allowing only two runs on five hits.

Liriano locks down his spot
Hillsborough's young phenom Felix Hernandez was rocked yesterday by Carolina. "King Felix" surrendered six runs on six hits and two homers and could not make it out of the first inning. Felix is still projected to make the rotation and could be in line for the season opener start.
Marietta's Francisco Liriano continued his masterful pitching and improved to 4-0 last night. Liriano shut down Hoboken, holding them to one run on four hits in eight innings. Liriano is now locked into a rotation spot and has been shut down for the rest of spring. Brandon McCarthy will get Liriano's next spot in the rotation.
Carolina's Juan Rivera smacked 2 homers with 5 RBI in a 3-5 night yesterday against Vancouver, a team that had previously drafted the outfielder.
Chris Young of Las Vegas put in an impressive outing yesterday against Team Buddah. Young pitched 8.1 innings of 2-hit ball. Young was acquired last season from D.C.
One lone cut yesterday: Hillsborough cut reliever Logan Kensing and signed infielder Neifi Perez. Kensing only pitched 1/3 of an inning for the Hitmen and only surrendered one walk. "That walk was enough for us though." said team owner Brent Campbell. "We can't have guys walking batters all over the place." Despite the fact that fellow reliever, Joe Nelson has seven walks in four innings pitched, Campbell attributed it to "bad luck". "I think that Campbell just really doesn't like Wolverine" said a disgruntled Kensing.
Another sign it's only spring training: last year's two DMBL World Series participants, Newark and Vancouver, are currently sitting in last place in their respective divisions.
