wins, wins, wins.......

The Reading Phillies salvaged a game in their 3-game set in Trenton, winning the final game 7-3 behind strong pitching from Austin Hyatt. Hyatt improved to 5-1 on the year, this time going 6.2 innings and allowing only 2 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks. B.J. Rosenberg finished the 7th and threw a scoreless 8th to get a hold, and Justin De Fratus gave up a run in the 9th, but finished it off.

Matt Rizzotti had 3 more hits, including his 6th home run of the year to lead the attack, with Freddy Galvis and Mike Spidale chipping in with 2 hits each.

In Clearwater, Sebastian Valle had 2 hits (including his 3rd home run) and 3 RBI, and Jeremy Barnes had a pinch hit home run to start the winning rally as Clearwater took a 5-2 decision from Palm Beach. Trevor May made the start and looked very good, going 6 innings and allowing just 2 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk, striking out 8 along the way. The win went to Derrick Loop in relief.

In Greensboro, the BlueClaws rallied for 4 in the 9th inning to steal a 7-5 win from the Grasshoppers. Jim Murphy hit his 9th home run of the year, and his 23rd as a BlueClaw, which is now the all-time record for homers by a Lakewood player. Zack Collier and Stephen Batts had 2 hits each, and each drove in a run in the 9th inning rally. The other RBIs in that frame went to Carlos Perdomo and Edgar Duran. Mario Hollands started and went 6, giving up 5 runs on 8 hits, but Tyler Knigge came on and threw 3 hitless innings and picked up the win, his 1st, when Lakewood rallied late.
