So it's back to baseball, as we travel to Greensburg, to play the Green Sox! Our prized rookie, Devin Forrest came off the DL, and we sent Ben Brown back to AAA. Brown in 45 at bats was struggling, and only hitting .222. Forrest, on the other hand, in 93 at bats was hitting a whopping .344.

Game 1 - The Greensox hammer the Aces 8-0, as Juan Aguilar, who came into the game at 5-1, only lasted 4 and two thirds, giving up 13 hits and seven runs. Ouch!!


SWEET REVENGE!!

Game 2 - The Aces set a franchise record by scoring 18 runs, and also 18 hits! I can't believe I was watching the same team that got shutout the night before! And we did all this without hitting a homerun! The Aces also had five stolen bases, and Victor Alvarado, despite giving up 13 hits, allowed just five runs. Dale Roberson had a monstrous game, going 5 for 7!

Game 3 - The Aces bats stayed "red hot" as we pounded out 12 hits, and had an incredible, come from behind 8-7 win! The Aces scored five runs in the top of the ninth, to stun the fans, and the Green Sox! Jorge Machado came on in relief to get his 4th win, and Broderick MacDonald game on to get his 10th save! What a way to finish a series!

Despite taking two out of three from the Green Sox, and going 6-4 over our last ten games, we are still in second place, a half game behind Hanover, who are red hot, going 9-1 over the same, ten game stretch!
