Homesiders go back-to-back

The big moment Saturday night came in the 3rd inning in Clearwater, when Tim Kennelly and Mike Durant hit back-to-back home runs to boost the Threshers to a 6-3 win over Daytona. Kennelly's fine season continues (.291, 22 RBI) with an outfield assist and Durant seems to be coming around after a terrible start. Yohan Flande continues to surprise everyone, picking up his 5th win of the year with 6 more good innings.

The BlueClaws lost to Kannapolis 7-2 Saturday night, despite 4 for 4, including a home run, a stolen base (#11) and 2 runs scored for Harold Garcia, and a good performance from Jesus Sanchez. Santo Hernandez was the losing pitcher. After a great home stand, Hernandez was shaky, giving up 3 runs, 1 earned on 3 hits and throwing 3 wild pitches in 1 inning. Brenden Akashian made his first start at DH for Lakewood and had 2 for 3.

Reading's game was suspended because of rain last night in the 9th inning, Harrisburg having picked up 2 runs off Francisco Butto to tie it at 6-6. They will finish it today before the regular game. Neil Sellers has a double, 2 home runs and 4 RBI for Reading.
