Mike Kinkade hit a walk off RBI single in the bottom of the tenth inning as Trenton beat Portland 4-3 in extra frames.  Kinkade finished the game with three hits as did Gabriel Lopez who also drove in a run.

Charlie Maning picked up the win after getting pushed down to Double A.  He threw a shutout tenth inning.

Most of this game was an interesting 1-1 pitchers duel that went through ten innings.  Then in the eleventh, the Bats exploded for five runs to open the game up in what turned out to be a 6-1 loss.  Jeff Karstens threw six shutout innings but that was essentially wasted when Charlie Manning was tagged for five runs in the eleventh.

Angel Chavez drove in the only run for the Yankees with a solo shot in the eighth inning.  Wil Nieves went two for five.

Steven White didn’t pick up the decision in this game but he was impressive none the less.  He gave up just two runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in seven innings.  Charlie Manning picked up the win with 1 1/3 innings of shutout relief and he improved to 2-1 on the season.

Shelly Duncan doubled and drove in two runs in the 5-2 ten inning win.  Justin Christian went two for four with a walks, an RBI and two runs.

The Yankees lost a tough one to the Chiefs today.  They gave up two runs in the bottom of the eighth that would eventually send the game into extra frames and then Ben Kozlowski gave up a run in the bottom of the fourteenth to lose it.  Particularly impressive in relief was Charlie Manning who struck out five in three no-hit innings.

Alberto Gonzalez was the hitting star in the 4-3 win.  He went two for seven with a triple, two RBIs and a run.
