Trenton wins the rubber game. Trenton's SP John Quilter retired the first 12 batters he faced and threw 7 shutout innings for the win. The Dragons sent 9 men to the plate in the 2nd and pushed across 4. It was all the offense they'd need. Our offense just had another one of those games where they do nothing.

This is clearly not our year. Our offense was fine today, but our bullpen blew up. Trenton LF Bobby Bailey was the man that did us in. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 including the key hit of the game. With the based loaded and 2 outs in the 8th, he delivered a two-run single to put Trenton ahead.

Oooh, a one-run win! This close victory improved our record in 1-run games to 11-20. CF Spencer Flynn got us started with a lead off home run and also drove in our 6th run with a sac fly. We drew 8 walks in this game and they all went to our 2-3-4 hitters. CL Artie Johnson nailed it down in the ninth (0 H, 0 BB, 2 K) for his 16th save.

Ugh. Another tough loss. We battled and kept it close, eventually tying it up 4-4 in the 8th on SS Mark Goodwin's 2-out RBI single. But Troy loaded the bases to start the 8th and PH Carl Fletcher unloaded them with a grand slam. 1B Oliver Moore added two more later in the inning with a triple.
