Just to note, the losing pitcher for Greenville was Dan "why did the Yankees pick a control pitcher like Kennedy when a live arm like him was available?" Bard, who lasted three innings giving up 6 runs on three hits (including a HR), one walk, and three HBP. Sorry, I just had to include that. Staten Island at Onoenta, Yankees won 9-5.

Just to note, the opponent pitcher was Mark Brackman, and when I saw the name under the pitchers list, for a split second I thought "when did I miss the Andrew Brackman signing!?". Geez...typing while being excited on ARod's 499th HR is a good way to misread. GCL Yankees at GCL Blue Jays, Yankees won 5-2.
