The Blue Claw's hoped to calm the surging Pilgrim's at home only to run into... well a surging Pilgrim's squad.

Starter Foster Johnson lasted only 2.1 innings, but the route didn't stop there as relievers EN-guo Zheng and still struggling Marvin Simpson got knocked around equally as bad.

Recently signed Pilgrim, Starter Edgar Ortiz went 6 innings tonight. He did scatter 9 hits, however only Ricky Parra's triple in the first...

30 to 10 , that's the run scored differential between the two teams. The Blue Claw's taking the series with another big offense show. The final score tonight mimicked the score on Saturday night , 13 to 3.

Baltimore is now 2 games over .500 and just 3 games out of first.

3B Jeffery Terry lead the charge with a Grand Slam in the top of the third. That blow seemed to take the wind out of the sails again for the not so mighty team from the north.

In the...

A solid start from Jose Garza seemingly had the Blue Claws looking pretty, until the Enforcers put 6 runs on the board in the bottom of the ninth courtesy of the Claws bullpen.
Reliever Dan Pace pitch well in the bottom of the 8th, retiring the side. However, coming back into the ninth he gave up a single and a double to the first two batters.

In comes the struggling closer Marvin Simpson and that's where the real damaged occurred.

What a difference a year...

Baltimore (33-31) takes the first game of the three game series easily 13-3 from the New York Enforcers (23-41).

The Blue Claws scored 9 runs in the top of the 6th inning bringing 12 men to the plate.
The big blow was a 3 Run opposite field home run from CF Wilbert McCarthy (30 yr old).

McCarthy is starting to heat up. He now has 16 HR on the season to lead the team by far.

You can't blame New York Starter Norm...

Baltimore (32-31) completes the sweep against the Havana Pirates (34-29)

The Blue Craws continue to play well as they have now won 6 out of there last 7 games.

" 2-1 pitch to Havana's 3B Henry Calhoun and he pops it up to shallow right field, Arturo Amador glides in and firmly squeezes the ball with two hands and that will do it".

" What a game by Starting Pitcher Roberto Rea"....
