In Manchester, Travis d'Arnaud hit a 3-run home run, one his 2 hits on the night, to help lead the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to a 15-3 win over New Britain. For Travis, it was his 4th home run of the season. He is also on a red hot 8-game hitting streak, going 16 for 29 over the 8 games. That's .552 if you are counting, and I am!
In Pawtucket, Jason Jaramillo had a single and scored a run, completing a 5-run 9th inning rally to help Indianapolis to a 6-3 win over the Sox.........In Allentown, the IronPigs won again, this time topping Rochester, 10-2. Drew Carpenter, Mike Schwimer, and Chance Chapman threw an inning each, Chapman was charged with an UNearned run.
In Lakewood, Mario Hollands threw 7 shut out innings, and Geancarlo Mendez and Jim Murphy each hit home runs, as the BlueClaws took a 3-0 decision from Greensboro. Hollands was the story, as the starting staff of the Claws continues to pitch great ball on this home stand. Mario allowed just 3 hits and 2 walks and was never really in trouble, as the Lakewood ace picked up his 4th win of the year. Lisalberto Bonilla pitched 2 perfect innings to record the save. The BlueClaws are only 4.5 games off the lead in the division, but they are in 6th place. They do have the advantage of a schedule that would allow them to make a move if they continue to play well. Lakewood has won 8 of their last 9.
Finally, in Erie, the Sea Wolves beat Reading, 11-7 in a game shortened to 5 innings by the rain. Steve Susdorf (.330) had a double and a home run (#4), and Freddy Galvis, Cody Overbeck and Derrick Mitchell also had 2 hits apiece. It was not a good night for either pitcher. Josh Zeid did not make it out of the 3rd inning and was charged with 6 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks. Chris Kissock also gave up 5 runs on 6 hits in just 2 innings. Both of these guys have got to get right soon. With the draft right around the corner, there will by an influx of players, and some jobs will be taken.
One more note, as I mentioned yesterday, Jeremy Slayden is now with the independent team, the New Jersey Jackals. As that league gets started playing this week, I found 2 more of our boys listed on rosters. Julian Sampson is with the Brockton Rox, and Jon Velasquez with the Rockland Boulders. Slayden is 1 for 8 in the Jackals first 2 games, and neither Sampson nor Velasquez has pitched yet.
