A solid start by Victor Larez went to waste.  He gave up a run on six hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings and the loss dropped him to 1-2 on the season.

The Whitecaps let this one get away from them in a ten inning loss to Lake County.  Trevor Feeney threw six shutout innings in his start but unfortunately, the pen gave some ground.  Kenny Faulk gave up two runs in the ninth and that sent the game into extra frames and then Luis Angel Sanz gave up the run in the tenth and he took the loss.

Michael Rockett belted a home run and he drove in a pair of runs.  Jordan Lennerton went two for four with a double and a run while Jamie Johnson went two for three with two walks.

Jamie Johnson belted a solo home run, his third of the season.  Jimmy Gulliver singled and scored a run.

The Tigers scored a run in the ninth to take the lead only to see Kenny Faulk give up two unearned runs in the bottom of the ninth as Oneonta lost a tough one 3-2.  A solid start by Nate Newman went to waste.  He gave up one run on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.  Jose Ortega threw three shutout innings of relief and he struck out three.

Jamie Johnson went two for four with a double and a triple.  Matthew Mansilla belted a solo home run and he drew a walk.

Game two didn’t go much better and that was a 6-2 loss.  Johnson tripled while Michael Rockett and Alexis Espinoza both singled and scored a run.  Mike LaLuna fell to 3-5 and he gave up three runs on four hits and three hits with five strikeouts in four innings.

Game two was a 10-0 beatdown and what was even more impressive was they did it in just seven innings.  Clemente Mendoza improved to 4-2 and he went the distance.  He gave up six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in seven shutout innings.  Johnson once again had a big day at the plate and he went two for five with a double, a home run and four RBIs.

There were plenty of hitting stars in the Tigers 13-4 win over Tri-City but Rawley Bishop was a notch above the rest.  He went four for six with a home run, two RBIs and two runs.  Jamie Johnson also had a big day and he went three for five with a triple, three RBIs and a run.

Nate Newman picked up the win and he improved to 2-1.  He gave up three unearned runs on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

Oneonta lost not only their suspended game from last night, but they also dropped today’s game as they got their fill of baseball.  Game one was a 3-2 loss in eleven innings.  John Murrian led the way at the plate and he went three for four with a double and an RBI.  Adam Wilk had a really nice start and he struck out seven and he gave up just one hit in five innings.  Michael Torrealba dropped to 1-1 and while he did a solid job in three innings, he gave up the game winner in the eleventh.

Jeff Gerbe was roughed up and he gave up three runs in 1 2/3 innings in his start.  Mike LaLuna was particulary impressive and he gave up just three hits and a walk with three strikeouts in three shutout innings.  The win improved his record to 1-1.  Kenny Faulk got the final two batters out and he picked up his third save of the season.

A run on five hits isn’t going to cut it and that’s all the Oneonta Tigers could muster in a 2-1 loss to Lowell.  Jamie Johnson had the only extra base hit with a double while Jimmy Gulliver drew a walk and scored the lone run.

Clemente Mendoza took the loss and he fell to 0-1.  He gave up two runs on four hits with two strikeouts in three innings of relief.  Nate Newman struck out five in three shutout innings in his start.
