News and Notes:

-Newmarket is 5-1 despite scoring just 15 runs in the six games, and allowing 15 runs as well. As a team, they have a 1.87 team ERA and a .237 team BA. The 15 runs they have scored is already 11 less than the next closest team, the Bangor Crusaders and Dover Green Wave, both with 26.

-Catcher Tony Miranda and the Exeter Blue Hawks have agreed on a new three year contract worth $7.1 million dollars. The 34 year old Miranda hit .275 with 24 homeruns and 85 RBI a year ago and for his career, has hit 80 homeruns and driven in 249 in 338 games.

-Jim Dunbar and the Oyster River Bobcats have come to terms on a two year extention that will pay the 30 year old OF just over 1.3 million dollars per year. Last year, Dunbar hit .256 with 33 homeruns and 84 runs knocked in. All his numbers were up from 2009, when he hit .246 with 17 homers and 54 RBI.

Next up for Newmarket are three games at home, playing host to the Oyster River Bobcats, followed by a trip north to face the Bangor Crusaders.
