A South Atlantic League: Savannah 3/7/0, Lexington 1/5/1

Brandon Moore and Collin McHugh combined to hold Lexington to a run on 5 hits with 11 strikeouts tonight, Moore got the win, McHugh, the save. As per Mike Newman's Twitter: Collin McHugh hitting 90 MPH multiple times with tailing action. Mixing mid-70's CB out of the pen. Liking him in this role (http://twitter.com/ScoutingtheSAL). As an aside, I highly recommend everyone who is on Twitter to follow Mike @ STS, outstanding insight.

The Gnats had just 7 hits of their own, along with 3 walks, while going 2 for 8 with RISp, leaving 6 on base, and striking out just 4 times. Alonzo Harris had the only multi hit game, while Sam Honeck (0 for 3, run, BB, .000), Jeff Flagg (0 for 1, run, BB, K, .184) and Luis Rivera (0 for 3, RBI, .095) took 0-fers.
