Way to go, BlueClaws! With their win yesterday over Kannapolis, they clinched the first-half title in the Northern Division of the South Atlantic League. That means the team will again be in the play-offs this September. I've only seen the 'Claws once this year but, like last year's team, they are fun to follow. I was interested to see that Brody Colvin, a promising talent whom I saw pitch on Tuesday, was yesterday's winning pitcher. Big Jonathan Singleton powered the offense, with a three-run homer in the first, then a solo shot in the fifth. Keep it rolling, 'Claws!
The Williamsport Crosscutters, meanwhile, finished off a three-game sweep of the State College Spikes. The 3-0 start is a first in Crosscutter history, which would be since 1999. Domingo Santana is the guy to watch.
