SWB  AAA  Yankees Game  6-3-11
SWB Yankees  4 - Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers)  3

BOX SCORE

The SWB Yankees returned home to face the Toledo Mud Hens and former Yankee Phil Coke.   The Yankees got a 4-3 walkoff win to bring their season record to 29-23.  SWB is in 2nd place, 4 games behind Lehigh Valley and 1 game ahead of 3rd place Pawtucket.

Pitching: David Phelps got the start for the Yankees.  He got into a jam in the 1st inning when the first 2 men he faced singled, but worked his way out of it.  Phelps worked out of another jam in the 4th after giving up a single and walk.  In the 6th, he gave up a solo homer to give Toledo a 1-0 lead at the time. Phelps started the 8th with the leadoff man reaching on an error.  He then gave up a 2-out single and was relieved.  Another good start for Phelps. Phelps' line:   7.2 IP,  3 runs(1 ER),  7 hits,  7 K-2 BB,  ERA 3.25, 
111 Pitches--78 strikes, 7 groundouts-5 flyouts.

Eric Wordekemper relieved Phelps with 2 men on and 2 out in the 8th.  Wordekemper gave up a 2-rbi double that tied the score at 3.  He got a blown save.

Kevin Whelan came on to pitch the 9th with the score tied at 3. Whelan retired the side in order.  Whelan picked up the win (1-1).

Offense: Former Yankee Phil Coke, on a rehab assignment, got the start for Toledo.  In the 1st inning, Jesus Montero got a 2-out double off Coke but was stranded.  Dan Brewer had a 2-out double in the 2nd, but again Coke got out of the inning.  In the 3rd, Austin Krum doubled and Kevin Russo singled but they were stranded.  The Yankees scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 6th off Coke to take a 3-1 lead. Jesus Montero and Jorge Vasquez singled, and Brandon Laird hit a rbi double.  Jordan Parraz walked.  A fielders choice scored the 2nd run,  and Brandon Laird added a rbi single.  Kevin Russo led off the bottom of the 9th with a standup triple (4).  Toledo manager Phil Nevin then decided to load the bases by intentionally walking Jesus Montero and Jorge Vasquez. Brandon Laird then hit a walk-off rbi single on a shallow pop fly that the rightfielder apparently lost in the lights or misjudged  to give SWB a 4-3 win.

Notes: Jesus Montero went  2-4 with a double, single, run, walk, and strikeout.  This is the 3rd game in a row that David Phelps has pitched into the 8th inning. Magglio Ordonez was also playing a rehab game (0-3).

SWB  AAA  YANKEES  GAME   5-30-11
Indianapolis Indians (Pirates) 8 -  SWB Yankees 5

The SWB Yankees lost to Indianapolis 8-5 after blowing a 5-4 7th inning lead. The loss drops the 2nd place Yankees record to 26-22. 

Pitching: Adam Warren  (3-1, 3.57 ERA) got the start for the Yankees. He got off to a rough start in the 1st giving up 3 runs on 4 hits and a wild pitch to give Indy a 3-1 lead.  In the 3rd, Indy picked up another run on a walk and 2 singles to up their lead to 4-1. The damage could have been worse, but Dan Brewer made a fabulous diving catch to rob an extra base hit.  In the 6th, Indy picked up 2 singles, but Warren got out of the jam to maintain a 5-4 lead.   Warren left with a 5-4 lead but did not figure in the decision. Warren's line:   6 IP,  4 runs,  9 hits,  4 K's--2 walks,  ERA  3.81.

Kanekoa Texiera came on to pitch in the 7th with SWB up 5-4.  He gave up a leadoff double. Brandon Laird booted a ball at 3rd base for an error.  The tying run scored on a rundown when Vasquez dropped the ball at home for an error. Texiera then gave up 2 rbi singles and a double to give Indianapolis an 8-5 lead. Texiera took the loss (0-1). George Kontos pitched a scoreless 8th inning giving up a single and stranding the runner at 3rd.

Offense:   Sean Gallagher (1-7, 7.17 ERA) got the start for Indianapolis. In the 1st inning, Ramiro Pena walked, Jesus Montero singled, Jorge Vasquez hit what should have been an inning ending DP, but a throwing error allowed Pena to score to give SWB a quick 1-0 lead. SWB tied the game in the 5th with 3 runs.   Kevin Russo doubled off the top of the fence.  Dan Brewer followed with a single.  A wild pitch scored a run.  Austin Krum added his 1st AAA rbi.

Notes:   Jesus Montero went 2-4 with 2 singles, rbi, and strikeout.

Louisville Bats (Reds)  4   SWB Yankees  3

The SWB Yankees dropped a 4-3 decision to Louisville.  The loss drops the 2nd place Yanks record to 25-21 on the year.

Pitching:  Andrew Brackman got the start for the Yanks.  Brackman got the side in order in the 1st inning.  Quite an improvement considering he had a 15.75 ERA, and 4.50 BAA in the 1st coming into the game.  He got the side down in order again in the 2nd.  Brackman had a weird 3rd inning as he lost his control. A hit batter, wild pitch, and 2 walks loaded the bases with nobody out.  A 2-rbi single put Louisville on top 2-1.  He also struck out the side in the inning.  He  tossed a scoreless 4th giving up a 2 out walk and picking up his 7th K.  In the 5th, he walked 2 men and picked up his season high 8th K and was taken out.  The 6 walks were also a season high.   Aside from the walks it was probably his best start of the year. Brackman's line:  4.1 IP,  2 runs,  1 hit,  8 K-6 BB,  ERA 6.35. HBP, 96 pitches--49 strikes.

Ryan Pope relieved Brackman with 2 on and 1 out in the 5th.  He got out of the jam after a balk moved the runners to 2nd and 3rd.  Pope threw a scoreless 6th.  There was a leadoff single, but Justin Maxwell threw the runner out at 2nd.

Amaury Sanit came on to pitch a scoreless 7th.  He hit a batter but got a DP.  In the 8th, he got the first 2 men then gave up a single and 2-run homer to give Louisville a 4-2 lead.  He then gave up a walk and single. Sanit then left the game with a non-arm injury.  He took the loss (2-1).

Kaneoko Texiera replaced Sanit to get the final out of the 8th.

Offense:   Edinson Volquez got the start for Louisville.  The Yankees wasted no time in getting to Volquez.   Austin Krum led off the game with a triple and was followed by a rbi single by Ramiro Pena to give SWB a 1-0 lead.  Volquez shut the Yankees down until the 6th when Austin Krum walked and Ramiro Pena was hit by a pitch.  Jesus Montero hit into his 2nd doubleplay of the game.  Montero came into the game hitting just .186 with RISP.   Justin Maxwell led off the 7th with a double, but was stranded.  In the 8th,  Ramiro Pena hit a solo homer (3) off Volquez to tie the game at 2.  Justin Maxwell led off the 9th with his 15th homer of the year to cut the lead to 4-3.  Maxwell's 2nd in the league in homers and has 32 rbis.  Brandon Laird and Dan Brewer singled  to put the tying run in scoring position.  Former SWB Yankee Steven Jackson came on to pitch and threw a wild pitch to move the runners up to 2nd and 3rd.  Luis Nunez walked to load the bases with 1 out, but Jackson got a DP on a great play to end the game.

Notes:  Jesus Montero went 1-4 with an infield hit and 2 doubleplays.    Jorge Vasquez went 0-4 with 2 Ks.  Brackman's parents were at the game
