Staten Island was gone from the playoffs after just two games as they were held in check by the Cyclones.  A pretty solid start by Darrell Rasner went to waste.  He gave up two runs on two hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

Donald Hollingsworth went two for three and he drove in the only Yankees run in the 3-1 loss.  Taylor Holiday went two for four with a double.

Pitching pretty much went out the window in this one as Staten Island beat Vermont 13-9.  Damon Sublett went three for five with a double, a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.  Donald Hollingsworth went two for four with three RBIs and a run.

Jason Stephens improved to 4-0 despite a mediocre start.  He gave up five runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Ryan Wehrle drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie Staten Island up with Lowell and then in the bottom of the eleventh, Justin Snyder singled home Donald Hollingsworth for the game winner.  Snyder finished the game three for five and he drove in two runs while Christopher Raber went three for four with a double and a walk.

Jonathan Ortiz improved to 2-0 with the win.  He gave up a hit and he struck out one in two shutout innings of relief in extra frames.

Staten Island outhit Oneonta 5-2 but three errors cost them as they lost to the Tigers 3-1.  All three runs scored against them were unearned and it was Adam Olbrychowski who gave up all three.  He fell to 0-2 and he gave up two hits and four walks with six strikeouts in four innings of work.

Donald Hollingsworth was the hitting star in the loss.  He went two for three and he stole a base.

Starter Angel Reyes had a tough time finding the plate in Staten Island’s 4-3 loss to Aberdeen.  He gave up just one hit but he walked six and gave up three runs in only 1 1/3 of an inning.  The offense actually picked him up in this one so he didn’t take the loss.  That went to Philip Bartleski, who gave up the go ahead run in the ninth. He did strike out five in 2 2/3 innings though.

Luis Nunez walked and he scored two runs in the loss.  Donald Hollingsworth went two for three.

The RiverDogs took both game of their doubleheader against Kannapolis and in each of the games, the pitching gave up just one run.  In the first game, Angel Reyes threw four shutout innings and struck out six in the start while Garrett Patterson picked up the win with three innings to close out the game.  Donald Hollingsworth tripled, drove in two and scored one in the 3-1 win.

In the second game, Timothy Norton had a really nice start. He gave up just one run on five hits and he struck out ten in 6 1/3 innings.  Mitchell Hillgoss was the hitting star. He went two for four with a double, two RBIs and a run.
