Brooklyn 5, TriCity 0
Mark Cohoon was in complete and utter control tonight, he allowed just 3 hits, all singles, over 8 innings while striking out 8 to pick up his 3rd win of the season.
The Cyclones offense was paced by a perfect night from 22 year old Luis Rivera (on base all 4 times up). Overall, the Cyclones had 7 hits and drew 4 walks, but were just 2 for 9 with RISP and left 5 on base. Ralph Henriquez (0 for 3, run, BB, .206), Alex Gregory (0 for 4, .278), and Juan Centeno (0 for 3, .323) took 0-fers, while Rivera had the only multi hit game.

Kingsport 10, Burlington 3
The Mets pounded out 12 hits and used a 5 run top of the 9th to pull away from Burlington, winning comfortably, 10-3. After Zach Von Tersch went the first 4 innings, allowing just a hit and striking out 5, Brian Needham went the next 4, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs, but it was Needham who got the win.
The Mets, as I said, had 12 hits and drew 6 walks, while going a stellar 6 for 15 with RISP, leaving 9 on base. The Mets stole 7 bases without being caught once tonight, and every regular except Tyler Howe (0 for 3, BB, .200) had a hit.

Marte, Flores, and Holt, look at their stats! They’re the cream of the system? Niese, FMart? And the sixth guy Jenry ?, let’s see how he does now that he is in Double A. Any time half your top prospects are Single A guys you know you’re in trouble. Single A is long way from Double A and even further from the MLs.
