• Teahen 2-4, 2R, 2B, 3B, BB
• Howell 2-4
Russell Branyan’s two-out, two-run HR ended this one in extras for a 4-2 walkoff win at Alliance Bank Park. John Lannan got the no-decision after giving up two (one earned) on six hits and three walks. Mark Teahen led the offense with a double, triple, both runs scored, and a walk.
Trenton 19 Harrisburg 9
• Demny (L, 4-4) 3IP, 10H, 11R, 11ER, 2BB, 2K, 2HR
• Frias 2IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, K
• McCoy 1IP, 6H, 6R, 3ER, 0BB, 2K, 2HR
• Kobernus 3-3, 2R, 2BB, SB
• Van Ostrand 3-4, 2R, 2B, HR, 4RBI
• Rahl 2-5, R, RBI
Paul Demny got hammered for 11 runs in just three innings as the Trenton Thunder won this one handily, 19-9. Jeff Kobernus reached base five times and stole a base to pace the offense. Jose Lozada made his season debut in mopup duty giving up the last run on three hits in the 9th.
Myrtle Beach 2 Potomac 1
• Holder (L, 3-2) 7&8532; IP, 7H, 2R, 2ER, BB, K
• Testa ⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Walters 2-4, R, HR, RBI
• Ramirez 2-3
Potomac ran themselves out of the 9th inning, as J.P. Ramirez was gunned down on a would-be sac fly to left and Kevin Keyes trying to score from second on an infield hit by Michael Taylor, ending the game on a 2-1 score in favor of Myrtle Beach. Zach Walters accounted for the sole P-Nats run with his 5th HR. Trevor Holder was the tough-luck LP, allowing both Pelican runs (one unearned) on seven hits and a walk. The Carolina League has added Rob Wort to the All-Star game roster, ruining his three-day break honoring him for a stellar first half with a 1.10ERA and five saves over 21 appearances.
West Virginia 2 Hagerstown 1
• Meza 5IP, 5H, R, ER, 3BB, 2K
• Bates 3IP, H, 0R, BB, 4K
• Holt 1⅔ IP, 2H, R, ER, 2BB, 0K
• Skole 2-4, R, BB, 2B
• Leonida 0-2, 2BB, RBI
The Power made one less mistake than the Suns Last Night In Charleston.
DSL Nationals 4 DSL Cubs2 3
• J. Rodriguez 4⅔ IP, H, R, ER, 7BB, K, 0HR
• Dilone (W, 1-0) 1⅓ IP, H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• De Los Santos 3-4, BB
• Read 2-5, R, 2B, HR, RBI
Raudy Read’s third HR proved to be the winning margin, as the D-Nats led this one 3-0 early and held on for a 4-3 win over the DSL Cubs2 squad. Angelo Dilone got the win in relief of Jefry Rodriguez, who somehow managed to allow just a single run despite walking seven over four and 2/3rds. 17-y.o. Juan De Los Santos led the hit column with a 3-for-4 game.
So it seems Mark Teahen did not opt out of his contract. The logic is irrefutable: “All I have to do is be better than Xavier Nady.” Of course, the Nats don’t seem to see the logic of this.
+1/2St.
Nady must have pictures of Davey Johnson in compromising positions. He really is non productive.
