News and Notes:

-Victor Bautista and the Marblehead Magicians have agreed on a two year extention that will pay the 28 year old $1.334 million dollars. Last year, Bautista was 8-15 with a 5.17 ERA in 31 starts, and he has struggled even more this year, posting a 0-2 8.49 line in two starts. He has pitched 11 innings, giving up 19 hits, including six homeruns. He does however have a 7/0 K/BB ratio.

-Augusta closer Anastacio Martinez will miss the rest of the season after rupturing a disc in his back throwing a pitch against the Green Wave of Dover. A year ago, Martinez was 6-2 with a 1.37 ERA. He pitched in 35 games, saving 14, throwing 46 innings, allowing 40 hits and striking out 29. Thusfar on the year, he had pitched in four games, actually starting one, going 7 2/3 innings.

-Josh Price is making a nice transition to the Southern League, having transferred from Augusta to Exeter in the offseason as he's hitting a robust .485 (16-33) with five homeruns and 15 RBI thusfar through eight games for the Blue Hawks.

Next on tap for the Mules are three games in Dover against the defending champion, Green Wave followed by three games at home to face off against the Portsmouth Clippers.
