Murph hits #21

The Lakewood BlueClaws dropped their 2nd straight game to begin this crucial road trip, 11-5 to the Power in Charleston. Jim Murphy (.277) had 2 hits, including his 21st home run of the year. This leaves big Jim just 1 short of the single season record of 22 set way back in 2001 by Juan Richardson. Domingo Santana (.266) also had 2 hits, including a double, and Cameron Rupp kept up his hot hitting, belting his 3rd dinger of the year in the losing cause.

Lisalberto Bonilla (5 runs, 4 earned in 5 IP), Mario Hollands (2 runs, 1 earned, 1 IP) and Chase Johnson (4 runs, 5 hits, 2 IP) were all hit hard.

Before the big trade was announced, Jonathan Singleton played his final game for Clearwater and had 2 more hits in the Thresher's 2-1 win over Palm Beach. Singleton hit .284 for the Threshers this year, and the HomeSide wishes Jonathan all the luck in the world!!

Trevor May was outstanding for Clearwater, throwing 7.1 innings and allowing just 1 run on only 2 hits and 4 walks, striking out 8 to pick up his 8th win of the year.........Mike Zagurski (2.33) tossed 2 shut out innings for the IronPigs in their 4-3 loss to Pawtucket.


In Zebulon, Quintin Berry (.277) had 2 hits and scored a run for Carolina, helping the Mudcats to a 6-2 win over Jacksonville.........In Omaha, the Storm Chasers beat Albuquerque, 10-1. Robinson Tejeda (3.52) threw a scoreless inning despite allowing 2 hits and a walk (2 Ks helped).......In Reno, Kyle Drabek managed to get a win for Las Vegas, going 6 innings and giving up 5 runs on 10 hits and 2 walks. All 5 runs scored in the 2nd inning, but Kyle settled in and went 4 more frames not allowing anything more. Maybe he is coming around. Kevin Howard (.289) was 1 for 5 with 2 RBI and a run scored for the 51s...................In Durham, Yohan Flande (7-5, 3.64) threw 6.1 shut out innings for Gwinnett, allowing only 3 hits and 2 walks, striking out 8 for the Braves in their 5-0 win over the Bulls.................In Louisville, Matt Maloney started for the Bats and went 4 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits. He walked 2 and hit a batter, striking out 4 and receiving no decision in the Bats 8-3 win over Rochester.
