Savannah 1, Rome 0 - 9 innings, Game 1

John Holdzkom enjoyed his best outing of the season, but he got a very tough luck ND, as Savannah was blanked for the first 8 innings. Holdzkom went 7, allowing just 2 hits, walking just 3 and striking out 9. But the game went into extras, and Holdzkom wasn't allowed to start the 8th, Rhiner Cruz went 2 innings to pick up his 2nd win.

The Gnats only had 2 hits themselves, this was a classic pitchers duel. Casey Craig's (1 for 3, run, HR, RBI, BB, K, .283, SB (24)) walkoff homer accounted for the only scoring in the game for either side. Jefferies Tatford (1 for 2, BB, K, .297) had the other hit for Savannah.

Savannah 8, Greeneville 1 - Game 2

Maikel Cleto served notice that he's not completely burned out in 2008 tonight. His last 6 starts coming into tonight: 1-5, 7.94 era, 6 GS, 28.1 IP, 35 H, 25 ER, 9/14 BB/K. But tonight, he delievered a great game in the nightcap, going 6 strong, allowing just 3 hits and a run, striking out 8 for his 5th win of the season.

The offense feasted on Rome's bullpen the entire game (they went game by committee in the nightcap), with a 2 pronged 10 hit 8 walk attack. Despite putting up 8 run, they left 11 on base. Jefferies Tatford and Michael Parker had multi hit games, while Richard Pena (0 for 2, RBI, 2 BBs, .193), Joaquin Rodriguez (0 for 2, 2 BBs, .241) and Brad Hubbert (0 for 3, run, BB, 3 Ks, .181) took 0-fers.

Brooklyn 1, Lowell 2

Another night of offensive ineptitude, and it ended up costing the Cyclones a win. The Cyclones led 1-0 going to the 9th, but Stephen Clyne gave up 2 runs thanks to 2 hits and 2 errors (Lagares (1), Jimenez (4)), and Lowell ended up with the 2-1 win. Jenrry Mejia was brilliant tonight, the 18 year old held Lowell to just 1 hit over 6 innings with 6 Ks, but thanks to Clyne, got a ND.

The Cyclones had 9 hits and 2 walks, but left 9 on base, failing to score on numerous occasions. Eric Campbell was PH for after just 1 AB. Sean Ratliff (0 for 3, K, .203), who replaced him, took an 0-fer, as did JR Voyles (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .230), and Dock Doyle (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .224). Seth Williams, Juan Lagares and Cesar Cordido had multi hit games.

Stephen Clyne 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2/1 BB/K, 2.49 era, BS (3), L (1-2)

Kingsport 1, Greeneville 2

Robert Carson was victimized by his defense, as Imbewer Alvarez (14) and Wilmer Flores (17) each committed errors, leading to 1 UER off Carson, that combined with the ER he gave up was enough to beat him tonight. Carson went 4.2 innings, allowing 5 hits and those 2 runs, walking 2 and striking out 4. Despite his very good ERA (1.76), he's 2-3 in Kingsport. Travis Babin rebounded from a string of horrific outings to pitch 4.1 innings of fabulous long relief, allowing just 2 hits.

The offense had just 6 hits and a walk, stranding 9. Patrick Maat drove the only run in for Kingsport with a 7th inning SF. Wilmer Flores took his 2nd straight 0-fer, and is now is in a 2 for 16 slump. Justin Garber (0 for 2, BB, K, .276), Patrick Maat (0 for 3, RBI, K, .000) and Imbewer Alvarez (0 for 4, K, .189) also took 0-fers. Stefan Welch had the only multi hit game for Kingsport.
