Scott Shaw had his finest pro outing, giving up just a run on 4 hits while going the distance, for his 5th win. The Mets did all their scoring against the Tigers starter, putting up 5 runs on 8 hits and a walk, and it's a good thing they did, as the two Tiger relievers were perfect over the final 3 innings of the game. St. Lucie went 3 for 7 (.429) with RISP, leaving 5 on base. Reese Havens (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .226), and Greg Veloz, dropped further into the 7 hole (0 for 3, BB, .231) both took 0-fers.

SAL A: Savannah 2/7/0, Bowling Green 3/5/0

Chris Schwinden had a very good outing tonight, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits in 7+ innings, and left with a 2-1 lead, but Jacob Goldberg allowed his IHR to score in the 8th, and then allowed another run of his to score, taking the loss. Schwinden, despite a) being semi-old for the league, and b) not having any sort of arsenal, has put up a very respectable season, with 8 wins and 3.38 era in 96 innings.

The Gnats offense managed just 7 hits, but did draw 5 walks, but were 0 for 8 with RISP, and left 10 on base.
