In game action, the BlueClaws won the first game, 4-0, helped by a Carlos Duran home run and a fine pitching performance from Edgar Garcia who pitched five shutout innings. The second game ended up going 12 innings and the BlueClaws won, 2-1, on a walk-off wild pitch. The team's #1 draft pick from last year, Cornelius Randolph, went 0 for 2 in the first game as he's trying to battle back from an early season injury. We also got to see visiting player Ke'Bryan Hayes, who played third base for the West Virginia Power (a Pirates affiliate) in the first game.

We had another #Clawsome time at the game, and we'll be back next year for our milestone fifth annual visit.

Meanwhile, in Denver . . .
Rockies 8, Phillies 3
Game 89 - Late Saturday Night, July 9th in Denver
Record - 41-48, 4th place, 12 games behind the Nationals
One Sentence Summary: Jared Eickhoff's train went off the tracks in this game, and the Phillies couldn't get a hit with runners in scoring position as the Rockies won easily, 8-3.
What It Means/What Happened: Eickhoff had pitched extremely well of late and it's a shame he has to go into the All-Star break after such a shoddy outing. He allowed eight runs on eight hits in just 5 1/3 innings. Tommy Joseph had a four-hit night, including his 11th home run.

I've been going to more minor league games this season, and enjoying them as well. Actually, I'll be at a Reading game next week. Anyone I should keep my eye on from the Fightin Phils?
If I may...
Roman Quinn - if he's off the DL by the time you see the game - is a favorite of The Shlabotnik Report due to his speed and his height (officially 5'10", but...)
Also, pitcher Mark Leiter is the son of former pitcher Mark Leiter and the nephew of Al Leiter.
Ditto what TSR said and I'm also very excited about Dylan Cozens.
Cozens just hit a three run bomb to Moncada territory in centerfield.
I can't wait to watch Cozens hit at Citizens Bank Park in 2017.
