Triple-A Scranton (1-0 loss to Columbus) Columbus leads the best-of-five series two games to one … Hector Noesi gets the ball and will try to stave off eliminate tomorrow
Reid Gorecki, CF: 1 for 4, 1 K – got picked off second … he led off the game with a single, and that was all they got in the hit department

Double-A Trenton (8-1 win over New Hampshire) Trenton swept the best-of-five series and advances to the League Championship Series for the third time in the last four years …. they’ll take on the winner of the Altoona-Harrisburg series when the finals start Tuesday, and I do believe Andy Pettitte will make that start as part of his rehab … as for this game, they faced a former big leaguer that you might remember getting his ass handed to him by the Yankees last year
