Beeks buzzsawing his way through the Reading lineup so far.

Gameday is not keeping up.

[phillychuck]

Not such a great start to the minor league season. Looks likely to be an 0-4 night, as both CLW and Lakewood have relinquished mid-game leads. C. Randolph with another homer. Quinn 2/5 with a CS and a PO.

[xogfog]

Watched the LHV game, it was just one of those nights. Two errors lead to two unearned runs and they managed to scatter 12 hits and only score 2 runs.

Big comeback from Lakewood sparked by Moniak and Wojo

Big comeback from Lakewood sparked by Moniak and Wojo

Yes, only a 1-3 night. Sandberg tied the Lakewood game with a 2-out HR in the top of the ninth, then Moniak and Wojo did their damage in the 10th. Nice win for the Claws.

In CLW Ranfi Casimiro does not seem to be adjusting well to the bullpen--gave up 5 runs in 1.1 IP tonight. He's got to be a little depressed repeating CLW and being moved to the pen...
