Deadspin readers will appreciate that it was Carl Monday night at the park. Everyone else will go, 'huh'?. Other than that there wasn't too much noteworthy in either game.
The Nuts banged out 16 hits last night, but scored just 4 times. How'd this happen? I don't know - there was one pickoff and one double play, but you should score more than 4 runs with 16 hits and a walk. David Hicks had 3 hits, including 2 doubles, in 5 PAs. Metropoulos and Armstrong each had 3 singles.
Jonathan Baksh had 2 hits on the night raising his average to .286. Adam Calderone also had two hits for the Doubledays.
Brandon Magee had a rough outing giving up 5 earned runs in 4.1 innings. He struck out 6 and walked 2 and allowed one HR.
Jon Jaspe and Raul Barron each had three hits for the P-Jays. Travis Snider had an off night with just a single and a walk and was caught trying to steal third. This guy's a bust.
3 Stars!
