Vermont edges Jersey in Pitcher vs. Pitchers Duel




Carlos Quentin doubled home PR Jack Wilson for the winning run in the bottom of the 11th giving VFS a 3-2 win over NJT. Quentin was 2-4 with 2 RBIs.

But the real star of the game was Trash Heap pitcher Tim Lincecum. Tiny Tim pitched all 10 1/3 innings for NJT giving up 8 hits and K-ing an impressive 14. It took all of Vermont's pitching chops to match 0s with Lincecum. Vermont starter Braden Looper was effective through 5 2/3 and pulled after allowing a 2R HR to ARod. The Sioux bullpen car got lots of mileage, carting in 4 relievers. The fab-4 pitched 1 hit ball the rest of the way with BJ Ryan getting the win with 2 solid relief innings.
