May 15,16,17 v Durham Bobcats (17-14)

May 15-Jesus Guardado pitched eight innings, giving up five hits and just one run with one walk and five strikeouts, and Roberto Rodriguez would supply all the offense the Mules would need with an RBI double in the 3rd and a solo HR in the 6th as Newmarket beat Durham 2-1. John Coury pitched a scoreless ninth for his 8th save of the year. (20-13)
W-Jesus Guardado (5-3) L-Carlos Arellano (1-1) S-John Coury (8) HR-NMKT Roberto Rodriguez (3)

May 16-Bobby Harris hit a solo HR in the bottom of the first, and then in the bottom of the ninth, broke a 1-1 tie with a RBI single, accounting for all of the Mules runs in a 2-1 victory over the Bobcats. Jesus Flores came back from his first loss of the year by pitching a complete game, allowing just four hits and the one run with one walk and seven strikeouts. (21-13)
W-Jesus Flores (6-1) L-Steve MacFadden (0-1) HR-NMKT Bobby Harris (1)

May 17-River Little and William O'Halloran went back to back twice in the game, with Little driving in five runs total as the Bobcats avoided the sweep, beating up on the Mules 9-3. Wallace Harrison struggled again, allowing nine hits and seven runs over six innings, falling to 2-4 on the year. (21-14)
W-Rodrigo Sanchez (4-5) L-Wallace Harrison (2-4) HR-NMKT Alberto Flores (6), Kent Rogers (1), OYS River Little 2(6), William O'Halloran 2(3)

May 19,20 at Portsmouth Clippers (20-14)

May 19-Domingo Garcia went 3-4 with a homerun, three RBI and two runs scored as Portsmouth held off a furious ninth inning rally to beat Newmarket 5-4. The Mules trailed 5-0 entering the 9th inning, and after a two run double from Sergio Hernandez and two run HR from Alberto Flores, and a Luis Ortiz single, the Mules had the tying run on third with two outs, but that was as close as they'd get as Millard Watkins struck out to end the game. (21-15)
W-Matt Thomas (6-4) L-Chester Griffin (5-1) S-Jerry Ward (8) HR-NMKT Alberto Flores (7), Domingo Garcia (6)

May 20-Roberto Rodriguez went 3-4 with a homerun and four RBI and Bobby Harris added three hits and four RBI in support of Jesus Guardado, who pitched seven shutout innings, as Newmarket blanked Portsmouth, 10-0. Guardado allowed just six hits and three walks with two strikeouts, earning his 6th win of the year. The news wasn't all good for Newmarket however, as Fernando Peralta, back after 3 weeks with an injury was lost in the 9th inning with fractured ribs suffered running into the wall and will miss another month. He was placed on the DL and prize 1B prospect Patrick Lafontaine was called up to take his spot on the roster from the AA Honolulu Monkeys. (22-15)
W-Jesus Guardado (6-3) L-Jessie Church (3-3) HR-NMKT Roberto Rodriguez (4)

News and Notes:

NL Player of the Week: Juan Munoz (Portsmouth) .462 (12-26) 3 RBI
SL Player of the Week: Tony Miranda (Exeter) .444 (8-18) 5 HR 7 RBI

-Ray Odom of the Peabody Tanners has extended his hitting streak to 25 games.

-25 year old CF Leslie Dixon and the Nashua Titans have agreed on a two year contract extention that will pay Dixon just over $1,760,000 a year. So far on the season, Dixon is hitting .333 with 5 HR and 19 RBI to go along with 7 steals. Last year, he hit .305 with 11 HR and 43 RBI with 30 steals.

-Colm Menzel has resigned with the Salem Witches for 3 years at a total of $533,000. On the year, Menzel is hitting .287 with two homeruns and eight RBI in 87 AB's, after hitting .274 with five homeruns and 31 RBI with six triples a year ago.

Next for Newmarket is a continuation of their homestand with three games against the Portland Bulldogs followed by the Orono Riot coming to town for a three game set. Going forward, I will also post so photos of each city as we play them, hopefully giving you a little more imagery into all this!
