Well I tried to tell you so
But I guess you didn't know
As the saddest story goes
Baby now I got the flow
Adam Macko got the flow on Thursday. Even if you didn't know he could handle AAA, he did in this game, five innings, one hit. The bats were working too and Buffalo had a nice win. Kendry Rojas had a slow start for New Hampshire and their bats were quiet, they lost.
Vancouver had a scheduled doubleheader and in extra innings in game one, trying to save pitchers, the C's brought on outfielder Peyton Powell to pitch. He went three innings and got the win. The C's came out on the losing end of game two. Dunedin's game was suspended while the FCL Jays won and are on their way to the playoffs.
