AAA: SWB (82-67) lost 8-1 in the next-to-last day of the season to be eliminated from the playoffs. Even had they won last night, Durham’s win would have eliminated them anyway.
SS Anthony Volpe 2 hits. #1 prospect .250-21-65, 49 SB
Banda (L, 0-3) 2 1/3 IP, 3 R, 2 H, 1 W, 2 K. 1 HBP. 6.14 Zach Greene 2/3 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 1 W, 1 K. 1 balk. 3.42 Miguel Castro 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 W, 3 K. 0.00 REHAB Duffey 1 2/3 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 0 W, 4 K. 10.50 Brito 1 1/3 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 0 W, 2 K.

The Yanks picked up guys like Banda, Duffey and Barnes because of depth and prior MLB experience. None impressed while with SWB.
AA: Somerset evened up their Eastern League finals series with a 9-2 win. The third and deciding game will be tonight for the Eastern League Championship.
Yoendrys Gomez (WIN) 5 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 1 W, 6 K. Gave up 1 HR. #12 prospect. Loseke 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 W, 4 K. Ramirez 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 2 K. Espinal 1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 1 K.
Although not announced, my guess is that Somerset’s starter for the deciding game tonight will be Clayton Beeter, the Yanks’ #9 prospect, who they got in the Gallo trade.

Recent Internet articles advocate a couple of moves the Yanks should make that I also have been advocating for a while. A) bring Clarke Schmidt back up B) bring back up Ron Marinaccio C) bring up Estevan Florial. Of course, moves would have to be made to accommodate bringing those three players back up, but Clarke Schmidt really made a case for himself last night, with six no-hit innings and eleven strikeouts.
