Staten Island blew a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth only to come back and win it in the bottom half of the frame with two runs to make it a 3-2 final.  The game winning run was a two RBI single by Jose Gil.  Ryan Wehrle was the only Yankee hitter with two hits and he was also the only one to rack up an extra base hit with a double.

Jonathan Ortiz improved to 1-1 with 1 1/3 innings of shutout relief.  He walked one and struck out four while Ryan Pope threw four shutout innings and struck out six in his start.
