Binghamton 6, Connecticut 7

Shawn Bowman, welcome to the Eastern League. 2 hits, 3 RBI, and his first EL HR. After three frustrating seasons trying to rehab a back injury, then finally opting for surgery in 2007, Shawn Bowman made his long awaited (for him) Binghamton debut, 3 1/2 seasons after first making it to St. Lucie. It was a powerful 12 hit attack from the BMets, but it was not enough, as Eric Brown got rocked for 9 hits and 7 runs (6 earned) over 7 innings to take yet another loss, his 8th.

Savannah 7, Hickory 5

Maikel Cleto was in complete command of this game, until the 6th inning, when he fell apart and allowed 4 runs on 2 hits and a walk (Stephen Puhl allowed 2 IHR to score). Puhl then got the ball to Jose Bierd, who had his first save chance in a long while. Bierd mowed down Hickory in order with 2 Ks, for his 8th save.

Nick Giarraputo (0 for 3, RBI, .265), and Jefferies Tatford (0 for 3, BB, K, .300) took 0-fers, while Carlos Guzman had the only multi hit game for the Gnats. Greg Veloz hit a 3 run homer in the 3rd as part of a 4 run inning, his only hit of the game, but he also walked, making it a 2 for 4 in the OBP department.

Brooklyn 4, Vermont 3

The Cyclones did all their scoring in the 8th inning, with a 4 spot, on 4 hits and a walk, with JR Voyles getting the game winner, a 2 run single to score Josh Satin and John Servidio. The Conies had 9 hits and 8 walks, leaving an ungodly 12 men on base, but that one big inning was enough. ss Matt Smith (0 for 4, BB, .205), dh Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 4, BB, .290) and lf Sean Ratliff (0 for 3, run, 2 BBs, K, .200) were hitless, while Voyles and Eric Campebell had multi hit games, Campbell was on base all 5 PAs.

Brad Holt got the start today, and was incredibly wild, with 7 walks in 3.1 innings, he allowed 3 hits and 3 runs (2 earned). Matias Carrillo got the win with 3.2 hitless innings, but he walked 3. In fact, both teams combined to issue a mind numbing 21 walks, which is why there were only 12 hits combined in the game. Yury Santana got his 7th save with 2/3 of an inning, walking only 1.
