Don't forget to get those votes in for the All-Star game! Less than two weeks away!
New Jersey and Amityville battled it out in a 1-0 pitchers duel. Seth Smith broke the tie in the 6th with a solo home run. Kevin Slowey went 8.1 innings for Team Buddah, holding the Ant Slayers to only 4 hits and striking out 5. John Lester was the hard luck loser for Amityville, pitching 7.1 innings and striking out 8.
Ichiro Suzuki kept up his hot hitting, going 4-6 with 3 RBIs and leading Marietta to a 15-9 victory over Hoboken. The "other Suzuki", Kurt, also contributed a 3-6, 3 RBI game including a home run. The Mighty Men scored in every inning except the 9th, when they just sent up random fans from the bleachers to bat in their place.
Hillsborough thoroughly dominated Arkansas in a 13-2 win yesterday. Not only did the Hitmen score 13 runs on 18 hits and saddle Falcons starter Ricky Nolasco with 10 earned runs, but they also held the Falcons to only 5 hits. Ryan Howard fell one double short of hitting for the cycle.

Hillsborough-Marietta battle it out
Hillsborough and Marietta battled in a wild one yesterday. After just three innings, the score was already 9-8 in favor of Marietta and the amazing thing is neither team scored anything again until the 8th when Hillsborough tied it up on a sac fly. It took until the 11th to get a decision. A possibly fatigued George Sherrill, working his 3rd inning got into trouble quickly, walking the leadoff hitter, then giving up a single. Finally Josh Hamilton ended it all with a base hit into the right field corner that scored Adrian Gonzalez. Hamilton finished the game 3-6 with 3 RBIs and Mark DeRosa also drove in 4, while Ben Zobrist was 2-6 with 5 RBIs for the Hitmen.
Newark's Marc Rzepczynski tossed 7.1 shutout innings, allowing only 4 hits and striking out 8 en route to a 5-0 victory over the Cutters. Both pitchers were blanking the opposition until the 5th when Newark scored 3 runs. Jorge Posada piled on an additional 2 runs in the 7th to clinch it for the Sugar Bears.
Sardine City fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as the Straphangers finally won their first game of the year, although it did take them extra innings to do it. Evan Longoria tied the game up at 2-2 in the 9th inning with a solo home run. The Straphangers were all set to have a big inning, but James Loney hit into a double play to end the rally. The big inning would have to wait...just a bit. In the 10th, the Straphangers exploded for 5 runs capped by a Ryan Braun grand slam. Loney was hoping for a chance at redemption as he came up to bat with 2 outs in the inning and Longoria on the bases. But Loney didn't get his chance as Longoria took off for 3rd and tripped over his shoelaces and was thrown out by Miguel Olivo.
Spring Training phenom Ryan Rowland-Smith got a taste of reality yesterday when he was tagged for 5 runs in 6.2 innings against the Falcons, but escaped unscathed anyway as the Mallers won the game 6-5. Falcons starter Ricky Nolasco didn't make it out of the 2nd inning. Apparently Nolasco looked over at the time on the scoreboard and noticed he was running late for his fantasy league draft. "Last year I missed it and the stupid software auto-drafted Sidney Ponson with my first pick" said Nolasco.
Carolina's Barry Zito made a triumphant return to his old team, pitching 6 innings and allowing only 3 hits and one unearned run to earn the win against the Endzone Animals. Zito, who had a rough season in 2009 (7-16, 5.95), was left unprotected by the Mudcats. Philadelphia then swooped in and drafted him in the 10th round, but he was released a week ago. "It felt good to kind of shove it in their faces" said Zito "but Carolina has always been my DMBL home."

Sugar Bears streak hits 9
The Sugar Bears extended their win streak to 9 games, but this time it was a nailbiter. D.C. took a 3-2 lead in the 9th when Carlos Beltran singled in the go-ahead run. But Jonathan Papelbon couldn't hold it down for the O-Bombers, giving up an RBI single to Melky Cabrera in the bottom half of the inning. Reminiscent of his long All-Star Game performance, Papelbon remained in the game for almost 4 innings before giving up a single in the 12th to Miguel Olivo. Kevin Gregg then replaced him and promptly gave up back to back singles, including the game winner to Manny Ramirez. The loss was D.C.'s 5th straight. Newark's magic number for clinching the Hanover is now 5.
Arkansas defeated the Hitmen for the second straight time, taking a 6-4 contest yesterday. Ricky Nolasco pitched 6.2 innings and allowed only 1 run, while striking out 6 to claim his 10th victory of the year. The Falcons held off a late 8th inning rally by Hillsborough, then tacked on an insurance run to preserve the lead. Joakim Soria nailed down the 9th for his 25th save.
Edwin Encarnacion, in his first game back from a lengthy injury, went 5-6 with 2 RBIs and led the Bombers to a 6-5, 12th inning upset of the Endzone Animals. Encarnacion's double in the 12th was a key in moving the eventual game winning run over to third base (the slothlike Jason Kendall could not leg it out and score on the play). The loss dealt a blow to the Animals' playoff hopes, as they fell out to 3 1/2 games back of the final playoff spot. The Bombers had suffered through one of the worst injury stretches in the DMBL this year, at one time having 4 players on the shelf, so Encarnacion's return is just in time.
Amityville recently signed the 86-year old Jamie Moyer to fill in for several injuries in their rotation. Fresh from being cut by Team Buddah, the Ancient One held his former team to 1 run on 5 hits in 8 innings in picking up his 2nd win of the season (against 8 losses).
