The NSI Minor League Report: Ten and Oh

Saturday 4/18

Scranton won it's tenth consecutive game to start the season. Their previous record to start the season was four wins. The entire Yankee minor league system won its games, but that still doesn't take away the stink in The Bronx.

David Robertson pitched another solid game in relief for Scranton, while Ivan Nova, who got returned from San Diego after picking him in the Rule V Draft, had a good start in Trenton. Jesus Montero had his 2nd consecutive multiple hit game in Tampa. David Adams got 3 hits, including 2 doubles, for Charleston. Austin Jackson continues to be sidelined after getting hit by a pitch.
