AAA - Buffalo Bisons (26-32)_______________________________________
BUFFALO 3, GWINNET 4 (Box) Igarashi stepped into a tie game, start of the ninth inning, reached back, threw a pitch, and the ballgame was over. Sheesh, if he'd have thrown two pitches what would have happened? The franchise folds? We extend Jason Bay? Yes, this was a walk-off loss and a heartbreaker, wasting a banner night from Captain Kirk, whose pair of doubles fell in the middle of two Bison mini-rallies. Three runs on ten hits wasn't enough to back up a so-so start from near-Met Chris Schwinden (healthy Dickey be praised), who showed OK peripherals but was hit altogether too hard.

Lo-A Savannah Sand Gnats (31-26)__________________________________
SAVANNAH 1, ASHVILLE 10 (Box) Brutal. How do you garner eight hits to the other team's nine, and lose ten to one? You hit all singles; you go one for eight with runners in scoring position; you leave eight aboard; you ground into two double plays; you get caught stealing; you don't walk. But wait a minute, still... How did Ashville score ten runs on nine hits when they left eleven aboard? Well, I'll tell you, but you won't like it. Eleven walks. Mix a couple homers into that foul brew and you've got trouble. Trouble with the Tourists of Ashville. Nice franchise name you've got there.
