Edgar Estanga is putting up a pretty impressive line in Auburn for the Doubledays this season.  The 21-year old LHP is now 5-0 with an ERA of 1.27, WHIP of 1.090, K/9 of 13.22 and BB/9 of 3.41. He also put up fairly similar numbers last season in Pulaski, albiet with a few less wins.

New Hampshire lost 8-7 today as Seth Overbey gave up a 2 run home run in the top of the ninth.  New Hampshire had the tying run on third with one out but neither Ryan Patterson or David Smith could bring the run home.

The home run allowed by Overbey was the first he has given up all year, including his stops at Lansing and Dunedin.
