Marshall struggled in the first two innings of his sixth loss of the season, and the RailRiders tried to rally in the ninth, but came up a run short to fall eight games under .500 for the season. It's difficult to blame them, as a huge chunk of their roster is either hurt or with the big league team at the moment. David Huff starts for SWB tonight at 7:05 pm.

Black and Arcia's Double-A debuts went as well as anyone could have hoped as they helped Trenton break their ugly losing streak. The Thunder scored all five of their runs in the second inning, assisted by the three homers. Shane Greene gets his first Double-A start tonight at 7:05 pm.

High-A Tampa Yankees: L 4-9 ( 11 innings) vs. Dunedin Blue Jays

Charley Short 3 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 0 BB - five groundouts, three flyouts

The Yankees managed to tie the score in the eighth inning to force extras, but Short's third inning of work proved to be disastrous. Not much coming back from the opposing team putting up a six spot in extras, and the Yankees fell to 11 games below .500 for the season. Tampa gets the Blue Jays again today at 11:00 am.
