WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Adam Jones robbed Wilin Rosario of a Homerun!
 
A.J. Burnett dominated striking out 10 Canyon Country batters as the Vermont
Fighting Sioux outscored the Canyon Country Cannons 2 to 1.
 
Burnett(3-2) was very good in the win.  He allowed just 7 hits and 1 walk in 9
innings improving his ERA from 3.08 to 2.68.  Vermont took care of Canyon
Country with no trouble in the 9th.  
 
Jeremy Hellickson(0-2) ended up with the loss.  The Vermont fans were thrilled
by the performance put forth by Burnett, but it was clearly his strikeouts
that they enjoyed most. 'When he reached 10 strikeouts the fans showed him
their appreciation with a loud cheer.' Justin Rabidoux said following the
game.

Buster Posey rocketed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and A.J. Burnett pitched a
complete game as the Vermont Fighting Sioux beat the Grundy County Grizzlies
by a score of 8 to 2.
 
Posey provided much of the offense.  He bombed a two-run dinger in the 1st
inning, laced a one-base hit in the 3rd inning and hit a bases-empty home run
in the 4th inning.  Vermont finished with 10 hits in the victory.
 
Burnett(2-2) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. Ryan
Vogelsong(0-1) was hit with the loss.  He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 6 hits and 2 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings.

Jones smacked a single.  A balk was called.  Two outs later Willie Bloomquist
came up and he was walked intentionally.  Jason Castro was up next and he
banged out a single to load the bases.  Kevin Frandsen came up to bat and
lined a base-hit giving Vermont the win as 25,887 happy fans joyfully
celebrated.  Vermont out-hit Dallas Ft Worth for the game, 8 hits to 4.
 
The victory was credited to Jason Motte(2-1) who went 2/3 of an inning,

First baseman Jesus Guzman hit a homerun and had 5 RBI as the Vermont Fighting
Sioux bested the Slatington Bulldogs 13 to 5 at Fighting Sioux Field.
 
It was a good day for Vermont thanks to Guzman.  He smacked a three-run homer
in the 4th inning, doubled plating two runs in the 6th inning and slapped a
base-hit in the 8th inning.  Vermont had 15 hits overall, while Slatington
had 8.  
 
The winning pitcher was A.J. Burnett(1-0) who allowed 5 runs in 7 and 2/3
innings. Matt Moore(0-1) absorbed the loss.  He allowed a few too many
baserunners giving up 9 hits and 4 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings.
