post them. Thanks BG for the great contributions.

(Triple-A) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (73-57) beat Pawtucket (56-76) 3-0 in game 1 of their doubleheader: Box Score - Recap

The SWB Yanks shutout the Pawtucket Red Sox 3-0. The teams were scheduled to play a doubleheader to make up for a rainout of Friday nights game. Due to a rain delay of over 2 hours before the start it was changed to a single game, with a doubleheader being made up Sunday.

PITCHING: Josh Towers got the start for the Yanks in game 1. Towers came into the game with 19 straight scoreless innings. He tossed a perfect 1st inning. Towers had a scoreless 2nd after he gave up a walk and single, stranding runners at 2nd and 3rd. He threw a scoreless 3rd, giving up a 2-out walk. Towers scoreless string continued in the 5th when he stranded a 2-out single. The scoreless string continued in the 6th, but he had to work out of a jam after giving up a 2-out single and walk. Towers left after the 6th inning with a 3-0 lead, running his scoreless inning streak to 25. Towers got the win (7-6). Tower's line: 6.0 IP, 0 runs, 4 hits, 3 K--3 walks, 85 pitches---55 strikes, 7 groundouts--7 flyouts.

Mark Melancon came on to pitch a scoreless 7th inning. He gave up a single but got a doubleplay to wipe it out. Melancon threw a perfect 8th inning getting 3 groundouts.

Jonathan Albaladejo came on to pitch a perfect 9th, picking up his 11th save.

OFFENSE: Former Yankee reliever Billy Traber got the start for the PawSox. The Yanks had a threat in the 1st when Austin Jackson had a 2-out single followed by a Shelley Duncan walk, but were stranded. The Yanks took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd. Cody Ransom had a leadoff single, moved to 3rd on 2 ground outs, and scored on Chris Stewart's RBI single. In the 3rd, S. Duncan doubled with 2 outs. Juan Miranda followed with a single, but S. Duncan was thrown out at the plate for the final out. Russo led off the 5th inning with a solo homer (4). Ramiro Pena had an infield hit, and Miranda rbi double, to up the SWB lead to 3-0.

NOTES: Eric Duncan and Kevin Whelan placed on the DL.... Cody Ransom and Amaury Sanit off the DL.... SWB's Governor's Cup trophy was damaged by a crazed fan at the ballpark Thursday night.... Jason Hirsh and Ivan Nova go for the Yanks in Sunday's doubleheader. ... Roy White at PNC Field signing and selling his new book. .... The San Diego Chicken was at the game. The Yanks wore commemorative jerseys that will be auctioned off to raise money for ALS.
