The NSI Minor League Report: Scranton Finally Plays

Monday 6/22

Scranton played their first game in 5 days and lost a doubleheader. They were sloppy in the field and the base paths, committing too many errors and mental blunders. Shelley Duncan hit a 3 run home run in the nightcap. He leads the league by Ruthian margins (he has 21 homers, while the 2nd most is 12) and in RBI's 64 vs. 49.

Trenton and Charleston were off. Tampa resumed playing, after the All Star break, and won. Austin Romine hit his 9th homer, and is 1 away from last years total.
