minor league notes

The Columbus Clippers defeated the IronPigs, 4-1 to win their 2nd straight Governor's Cup. Lehigh Vallley managed just 4 hits, 1 by Freddy Galvis, as their most successful season since moving to Allentown concluded. After the game, the Phillies called up Domonic Brown, Justin De Fratus, Joe Savery, Eric Kratz and Brandon Moss. De Fratus will become the 39th former Claw to play in the majors if and when he gets into a game.

Baseball America has named their minor league All-Star team for 2011 and 2 former BlueClaws were honored. Eastern League MVP Travis d'Arnaud and Threhser pitcher Trevor May were both named to the team. Congratulation to both Travis and Trevor.

d'Arnaud and his teammates took a 5-3 game in Richmond Friday night to pull the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to within a game of the Eastern League title. In Sacramento, the Omaha Storm Chasers defeated the River Cats 11-6, completing a sweep of the PCL final.
