Binghamton 1, Bowie 0

Michael Antonini had his best outing in AA, delivering 7 shutout innings on 5 hits, but he got a tough ND, as the BMets were stymied by Bowie righthander Zach Clark for 7.2 innings. The only run of the game was a solo homer by Mike Carp, off lefty Rommie Lewis. It was enough to be the game winner. Joe Hietpas worked a scoreless 8th for the win, Tim LaVigne a scoreless 9th for the save. The BMets had just 6 hits, 2 from Carp, 2 from Caleb Stewart (2 for 3, BB, .280), and 1 each from Jon Malo (1 for 4, K, .278) and Jose Coronado (1 for 3, .259).

Savannah 2, Delmarva 6

Maikel Cleto - wall. Rinse, repeat, Scott Moviel. It is getting repetitive, I know, but you have to keep it in mind when these guys pitch, they are DEEP in uncharted territory IP wise. Cleto got bombed again tonight, giving up 6 runs (4 earned) on 5 hits and 2 walks, taking his 11th loss of the season. Manuel Olivares and Stephen Puhl pitched the final 4 innings.

The Gnats had 9 hits and 4 walks, but left 9 men on base and grounded into a DP, nixing many scoring chances until pushing 2 meaningless runs across in the 9th. Francisco Pena (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .264) and Jefferies Tatford (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .303) took 0-fers, while Carlos Guzman and Joaquin Rodriguez had multi hit games.

Kingsport 11, Johnson City 1

Wilmer's still good. 3 more hits, his 8th homer, and RBIs number 37 and 38. He is 17 now, though ;). Stefan Welch hit a 6th inning grand slam to totally ice the game, he also had a multi hit game (sorely needed for Welch). Kyle Suire and Gabriel Zavala also had multi hit games, while Doug McNulty (0 for 5, 3 Ks, .195) took the only 0-fer.

Phillips Orta worked 6 innings for the win, giving up just a run. Collin McHugh pitched 3 innings to pick up his 1st save.
