• Raul Chavez was 2 for 5 with 2 doubles.

Trenton over Connecticut, 6-5

• Brett Smith had a mediocre outing by his standards.  In 5 innings, Smith allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks, while striking out 2.  This bumped his ERA up to 1.99, which shows how impressive he has been all season.
• Scott Patterson pitched a perfect 6th, lowering his ERA to 1.22.
• Zach Kroenke allowed a run in 1.1 innings on 2 hits.
• Brett Gardner was 0 for 2 with 2 walks and a caught stealing, his 4th in 16 tries.

• Justin Christian was 1 for 4 with a double and a steal.

Tampa defeats Lakeland, 2-1

• Daniel McCutchen got the start, and was great. McCutchen pitched 6 shutout innings, allowing 7 hits and 1 walk while striking out 4.
• Reegie Corona was 2 for 4 with a walk.
• Colin Curtis was 1 for 4 with a walk.

Charleston handles Augusta, 5-4

• Hector Noesi started, and pitched 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 2.
• David Robertson pitched 2 innings of hitless relief, striking out 5 against 1 walk to earn the win.  His ERA is down to 0.88, which makes one wonder when he will be promoted.  He is also striking out about 12.95 batters/9 innings,  and only walking 3.07.
• Jon Hovis was also impressive in relief, pitching a perfect 9th to earn his 14th save.  His ERA is down to 1.84, and he is also putting up strong peripherals, striking out over a batter/inning and posting a ratio of 2.5 groundball/flyballs.
• Mitch Hilligoss was 3 for 3 with a double, and is now hitting .320.
• Kyle Anson was 2 for 4, and his average is up to .325.
• Seth Fortenberry was 2 for 4 with a double.

That's all for tonight.  I'd also like to extend a warm welcome to Hiroyo, our new co-writer.
