AA  Trenton Thunder grounded the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-2:

Miguel Gomez 2B- 3 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .297.
Chase Johnson RHP- 0.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 7.36.

DJ Myers RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 8/2.  ERA= 4.18.

Logan Webb had a hiccup in his last start, so good to see him back on track.  DJ Myers may be putting himself back in the prospect picture. He's given up just 2 hits in his last 11 IP, over 2 appearances with 14 K's and 1 BB.

Logan Baldwin is on fire!  Jose Marte is a promising SP prospect.
