perfect game!

Justin Germano threw the first 9-inning perfect game in the International League since 2003, leading the Columbus Clippers to a 3-0 win over the Chiefs in Syracuse. Jason Donald (.318) had a double in 4 at bats for Columbus.

In Allentown, the IronPigs scored 2 in the 10th on RBI hits by Brandon Moss and Josh Barfield in an 8-7, come-from-behind win over Pawtucket. Joe Savery threw a scoreless inning, and Mike Schwimer (7-1, 1.84) was the winner, despite allowing a run in the top of the 10th frame..........In Clearwater, the Threshers hit 5 home runs, including 2 by Moose Mattair, in their 10-2 pounding of Bradenton. Moose also had a double and drove in 5 runs. Jonathan Singleton (#9), Cesar Henandez (4), and Troy Hanzawa (3) also went deep for Clearwater. Julio Rodriguez went 5 good innings, allowing just 1 UNearned run on 6 hits and 1 walk, striking out 7 to improve to 13-6, 3.03 on the year. Mike McGuire has his 2nd straight good outing, throwing 2 perfect innings.

In Reading, Altoona shut out the R-Phils on 5 hits, 5-0 Tuesday. Joe Esposito was the starter for Reading and gave up all 5 runs on 7 hits over 5 innings. Chris Kissock threw a scoreless inning and Jacob Diekman threw 2 innings (1 walk, 4 Ks). The loss drops Reading 2.5 games behind New Hampshire, who took a 5-4 win in New Britain. Anthony Gose had a hit and 2 walks for the Fisher Cats. Trenton stays 1.5 games back, and moves 1 game ahead of Reading with a 4-3 win in Akron. Only 2 of these 3 will make the playoffs.

After a first inning that featured 2 hits, 2 walks, a wild pitch, and a throwing error, Joe Bisenius settled down, and threw a total of 6 innings, slamming the door on Indianapolis and allowing just 1 more base runner the entire outing en route to a 5-4 win. Joe is now 3-0, with a very nice 1.70 ERA for Charlotte in 8 starts. Jason Jaramillo drove in 1 of those first inning runs for Indianapolis with a sac fly.......In Buffalo, Scranton topped the Bisons, 11-2. Greg Golson (.280) scored 3 runs for the Yankees, and threw out a runner at home..........In Oklahoma City, Zack Segovia (3.80) threw a scoreless inning for Nashville, who scored 2 in the 8, 2 in the 9th and 2 in the 10 for an 11-9 win over the RedHawks...............In Tacoma, Josh Outman (7-1) threw 5 more shut out innings (3 hits, NO walks) for Sacramento in their 6-4 win over the Rainiers. Michael Taylor (.288, .452 over the last 10 games) homered for the 2nd straight day, his 12th of the year........In Corpus Christi, Jonathan Villar had 2 more hits, scoring a run and driving 1 in, to extend his current hitting streak to 9 games. Villar is 14 for 33 (.424) over the 9 games.
