Auburn 9 Jamestown 5
The Doubledays put up 4 spots in the 2nd and 4th inning, and that was the ballgame. Jarad Mangioni went 4-4 with a homer, 3 runs scored and 3 ribbies. Aaron Matthews did what a leadoff hitter should, going 3-4 with a walk, driving in 2 runs for good measure. Ryan Klosterman did what a second place hitter should going 1-3 with a homer, a walk and a HBP, driving in 3 runs for good measure. Adam Lind singled and doubled in 5 at-bats. Juan Perez threw 5 shutout innings of 3-hit ball for the win. He walked one and struck out 3. Chris Neylan was battered about pretty good, before Erik Rico and Dewon Day restored order for 2.1 and 1 innings respectively.

Princeton 3 Pulaski 19
The game was not as close as the score would suggest. The P-Jays scored 10 runs in the 1st inning, 3 in the 2nd inning and then 2 in each of the 4th, 5th and 6th innings to run away with it. Princeton buffed their statistics with 2 runs in the 9th. Hitting heroes were plentiful: Eugenio Velez doubled and homered and drove in 5, Jon Ashford singled, doubled and homered and drove in 3, and David Hicks drove in 4 runs with 3 singles. Yuber Rodriguez did what a leadoff hitter should, doubling, tripling and drawing a walk. Jordan Timm started and pitched a fine game in a blowout-5 innings, 7 hits, no walks and 5 strikeouts. Bryan Gale and Daryl Harang mopped up. Chris Leonard was assigned to Pulaski, after Rosario returned to New Hampshire.
