Staten Island came back in a big way in this one.  down 7-1, the Yankees scored one in the seventh, five in the eighth and then Kyle Higashloka singled home Jimmy Paredes in the bottom of the ninth for the game winner.  Chad Gross went three for four with a triple and two RBIs while Higashloka finished the game with three RBIs.

Ronny Marte picked up the win although he was more in the right place at the right time. He improved to 2-0 after he pitched a shutout top half of the ninth.

Trenton Lare improved to 1-0 with a really solid start in the Yankees 5-1 win over Aberdeen.  He gave up one unearned run on three hits with five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Zoilo Almonte had a big day at the plate.  He went two for four with a double and three RBIs.  Neil Medchill drew a walk but still managed to scored two runs.

Staten Island couldn’t score a run and they still haven’t won a game in a 2-0 loss to Aberdeen.  All five hits were singles and Kyle Higashioka was the lone hitter to reach base twice with a hit and a walk.

A pretty good start by Francisco Rondon went to waste.  He gave up one run on two hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Staten Island got their game in today, unfortunately they didn’t play enough innings to give them their first win.  Their two runs came on back to back home runs by Neil Medchill and Kelvin Castro.

Kelvin Perez took the loss and he fell to 0-1.  He gave up five runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks with a strikeout in just two innings.

Staten Island lost their season opener last night in a 6-2 loss to Brooklyn. Three errors led to four unearned runs in the contest and despite a solid start, Arodys Vizcaino took the loss and fell to 0-1.  He gave up four runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

Kyle Higashioka went two for four in the loss.  Francisco Santana went two for five.
