The NSI Minor League Report: Robertson and Melancon Pull a Veras

Monday 5/18

Scranton lost an 11 inning game on off nights by both Mark Melancon and David Robertson. Melancon didn't have his best control, and was done in by a chop single, and a bunt, on his way to giving up 3 runs. David Robertson was the eventual loser in the 11th, giving up the go ahead run on a double by Andy Cannizaro.

Trenton was off, while Tampa's game was cancelled due to wet grounds. They will try to play a doubleheader today, but the forecast is for continued rain.

Charleston lost as Hector Noesi, who pitched a 7 inning no hitter last game, gave up 10 hits and 5 earned runs in 5 innings. The earned runs were Noesi's first of the season as he went 28 innings without giving up any ER's.
