In Zebulon, North Carolina, Quintin Berry was 4 for 4 , including 2 doubles,and a walk, drove in a run and scored a run as the Carolina Mudcats rallied for a 5-4 win over Chattanooga. Berry was showing off for his Lakewood host family, the Hoffmans, who are in town for the weekend to see him play. To Lynn & Phil, I say, "You guys rock. Way to represent!" The Mudcats pinned the first loss of the year on Will Savage, who started for the Lookouts. Will gave up 5 runs (4 earned) on 8 hits and 3 walks over 6 innings, and is now 4-1, 2.92 for the Dodger's affiliate.
In Jacksonville, Joe Bisenius threw 3 scoreless innings in relief for Birmingham (1 hit, 2 walks, 2 Ks) and picked up the win when the Barons scored a run in the 10th........Over in Huntsville, Darren Byrd's inconsistent stretch continued with a bad outing against Montgomery. Darren came on in relief and allowed 3 runs on 4 hits in just 1.1 innings. The Stars rallied in the 9th for a 6-5 victory. For Byrd, it was the 3rd time in the last 6 appearances he has been hit hard.
In Lancaster, Jonathan Villar had 3 hits, including 2 doubles, and a walk and scored 2 runs, but the Lancaster Jethawks dropped a 13-9 decision to the Mavericks.
In New Britain, Travis d'Arnaud had a double and a walk, drove in a run and scored one as the New Hampshire Fisher Cats beat New Britain, 6-2. The win pushes New Hampshire's lead over New Britain to 2 games, and 3 games over Reading, who lost a 4-3 game to Richmond. B.J. Rosenberg made the start for Reading and threw 4 good innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits and 1 walk, striking out 5. I am not sure if "Rosie" started this one because of an earlier rain out which messed up the rotation, or if this is a result of Chris Kissock struggling as much as he has. I guess we find out the next time Kissock pitches. Tyson Brummett threw the next 2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 3 hits and a walk, and was hit with the loss. Brummett has pitched very well, 2.20 ERA, it was just one of those nights for him. Jacob Diekman (1-2-3 8th) and Phillippe Aumont (2 perfect frames) finished it off for Reading. Mike Spidale (.310) and Cody Overbeck had 2 hit apiece for the R-Phils.
The IronPigs are also battling for first place, and their 6-5 win in Scranton Friday gives the Pigs a 3 game advantage over the Yankees. Michael Schwimer threw 2 scoreless innings and was the winning pitcher for Lehigh Valley, his 2nd win of the year......In Durham, R.J. Swindel bounced back with 2 perfect innings for the Bulls against the Bats in Louisville's 9-8 win.........In Gwinnett, Andy Baldwin made the start for Rochester and pitched 6.2 good innings for the Red Wings, allowing just 1 run on 7 hits and 2 walks, striking out 8 to record his 3rd victory of the year, as Rochester beat the Braves, 5-2.................In Sacramento, Oklahoma City beat the River Cats, 3-1, holding the home team to just 6 hits. Michael Taylor had 3 of those hits, including a double and the Cat's only RBI. He also stole a base and is hitting .429 (12 for 28) in 7 games so far. Adrian Cardenas (.356) was 1 for 4 in the game.
In Clearwater, the Threshers won a game with only 3 hits when Chase Utley decided it would end with him. In the bottom of the 9th inning of a 1-1 tie, Utley was hit by a pitch. He stole second, went to third on a ground out and scored on a wild pitch, before you could say, "game over". Jiwan James had homered earlier for the Threshers first run, but the star of the night was Jarred Cosart. Cosart was fantastic, throwing 8 solid innings, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits and 3 walks, and kept the Threshers in the game, setting up Utley's heroics. Eric Pettis threw a scoreless 9th inning and picked up the win, his 1st for Clearwater. Pettis has thrown 8 shut out innings for the Threshers since his promotion from Lakewood. The Threshers are 26-16, which is very good, but they are still 4 games behind Daytona (30-12).
Great pitching and back-to-back home runs by Zack Collier and Geancarlo Mendez lead the Lakewood BlueClaws to their 3rd straight win, 3-2 over the Power in West Virginia Friday night. Ervis Manzanillo was very good, going 6.1 inning and giving up just 1 run on 4 hits and 2 walks, to improve to 2-2, 4.62 for the year. Colby Shreve retired 5 straight hitters and Juan Sosa recorded his 4th save, despite allowing a run on 2 hits in the 9th.

Ryan Howard was 0 for 3 last night against the Rangers, and has not had a hit in 23 at bats (4 walks).
