Box Score Recap

Light schedule Monday, with the DSL season ended, a rainout in Daytona and an off-day for Lakewood.  FYI – DSL is into the playoffs now, and the Phils did not make it into the tourney.  They finished 32-36, well off the pace in the Boca Chica South division.

Worth mentioning 2H and 2R each from Darin Ruf and Cody Asche, (including Ruf’s 36th HR, if that kind of thing interests you), but what a line from Trevor May: 8IP, 2H 1 R, 0BB, 9K.  3 flyball outs, 8 on the ground.  That’s top notch.

Elsewhere, every Williamsport Crosscutter had at least 1 hit, as Josh Warner shut down Jamestown on 4 hits over 6 scoreless IP.
