Justin Bloxom’s two-run moonshot in the sixth inning plus decent pitching from start to finish were the elements for success in Potomac’s 4-2 win over Myrtle Beach. After getting pounded by the Blue Rocks and clawed by the Hillcats in his last two starts (six runs apiece), starter Matt Swynenberg set down the first seven …

Potomac picked up where it left off on Tuesday night with a run in the 5th and a run in the 7th and held on for a 5-3 win. Paul Applebee got the win in relief, but continues to struggle with the long ball. It was just a solo shot, but the fifth the lefty …

It’s a hell of a way to lose a streak. Matt Grace — win or lose, for better or worse — had gotten the “W” or “L” in every start until last night, which he began strong: retiring eight of the first nine batters he faced and picking off the first batter to get a …

After hitting five HRs in five consecutive games, there was little doubt that recently promoted Syracuse Chiefs OF Corey Brown would be named the International League Player of the Week for period of May 21-27.
Brown played in just four games during the week, but went 9-for-19 with five runs scored, 4HR, two triples and 10RBI. He also currently has a six-game hit streak.
This is the first POTW honor for the Syracuse Chiefs this season.
Ed. Note: This is Part 3 of Sean Hogan’s three-part series on the 2012 Nationals Draft. Parts 1 and 2 can be found here and here. If they fall to #16, grab them up immediately OF Byron Buxton (Appling County HS, GA) – Currently the #1 guy on my board. Very athletic, with great tools …
So far this season, a return to the Pfitz has been the cure for Potomac’s road woes but last night the home cooking had the same recipe: good pitching coupled with bad luck and worse hitting in a 3-2 loss to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Robbie Ray’s third home start was the best of the …
