Trenton (Defeated Altoona, 7-5)

C Gary Sanchez:  2-for-3, HR (12), SF, 3 RBI, RS

Last year, he had a .736 OPS between Tampa/Trenton.  Entering tonight, he had a .748 OPS this year.

1B Greg Bird:  1-for-3, HR (1), RBI, RS, BB

May as well make your first hit since your promotion a HR (Now 1-for-11). 

RF Tyler Austin:  1-for-3, 3B (5), RBI, BB, K

26-for-68 since ASB with 10 XBH

24-for-73 since promotion.   18-for-43 in last ten games

CF Mason Williams:  1-for-4, 3B (3), RS

He must be fun to watch run those rare times he actually hits the ball into the gap.

RHP Jaron Long (W, 5-0):  6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K

10-3, 2.27 ERA; 111 IP, 93 H, 36 R, 28 ER, 4 HR, 17 BB, 98 K between Charleston/Tampa/Trenton.   Don't get me wrong - Long is not a huge prospect or anything close to one.  But he has been pitched remarkably well.

----------------------------

Tampa (Defeated Brevard County, 5-2)

OF Aaron Judge:  1-for-2, HR (6), RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
The power he is displaying (15th home run between Charleston/Tampa) is not surprising - but I never knew he had such an advanced overall approach.   Has now walked 74 times in 108 games.

3B Eric Jagielo: 2-for-4, HR (13), 2 RBI, RS, K

Overall, very successful overall season for Jagielo, who would likely have a 20 home run season if not for his injury earlier.

3B Dante Bichette:  0-for-3, RS, BB, K

6-for-37 stretch has dropped his average to .271. 

SS Cito Culver:  2-for-3, RBI, RS, BB, SB (11)

He's back!

CF Mark Payton:  0-for-4, K
