(Triple-A) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (53-39) beat Columbus (42-54) 2-1: Box Score - Recap

The SWB Yankees defeated the Columbus Clippers (Indians) 2-1 behind Kei Igawa's 8th win. The victory was Igawa's 27th win at SWB and set a SWB franchise record for career wins, breaking the record held by Evan Thomas when SWB was a Phillies franchise.

PITCHING: Kei Igawa got the start for the Yanks and pitched very well, shutting out Columbus for 7 innings on just 4 hits. He held Columbus scoreless thru the first 3 innings, on 1 single and a hit batter. In the 4th, a 2 out walk and single were stranded. Igawa gave up leadoff singles in the 5th and 6th innings, but stranded the runners. He finished strong with a perfect 7th. Igawa picked up the win (8-3). Igawa's line: 7.0 IP, 0 runs, 4 hits, 4 K--1 walk, 90 pitches--62 strikes, 7 groundouts--10 flyouts.

Damaso Marte just up to SWB on a rehab assignment, came on to pitch the 8th. He gave up 1 run after 2 out on a walk, double, and rbi single to cut the SWB lead to 2-1.

Jonathan Albaladejo came on to pitch a perfect 9th inning, picking up 2 strikeouts and his 5th save.

OFFENSE: Fausto Carmona got the start for the Clippers and pitched very well. Austin Jackson smashed a 2-out double off the leftfield wall in the 1st, but was stranded. Yurendell de Caster led off the 2nd with a solo homer (4), to give SWB a 1-0 lead. Francisco Cervelli had a bunt single in the 2nd inning. The Yankees didn't get another hit off Carmona until the 7th when Colin Curtis hit a leadoff double. Curtis scored on a rbi groundout by Eric Duncan to give SWB a 2-0 lead. The Yanks threatened in the 8th when Ramiro Pena singled and stole 2nd, but was stranded.

NOTES: Kevin Whelan promoted from Trenton to SWB. Humberto Sanchez was promoted from Tampa to Trenton.
