Aberdeen lost to State College 5-4 in 10.  Trent Howard went 5 innings, giving up 2 earned runs on 4 hits and a walk, striking out 3 and posting a GB/FB of 6/3.  Ryan Berry went 2 scoreless innings giving up 1 hit.  21 year old Devin Jones, the 9th round pick in the 2011 draft, went 2 innings, giving up 1 earned run on 3 hits and a walk.  Glynn Davis went 1-5 with a double.  Mychal Givens went 2-2 with 2 walks.  Joe Velleggia went 0-5 with 2 strikeouts.  Wynston Sawyer went 3-4.  Connor Narron went 1-4.  Dudley Leonora went 1-4.  Last night I indicated that Trent Howard "went 5 innings, giving up 1 earned on 3 hits and a walk, striking out 3 and posting a GB/FB of 7/2" when in reality that was Tyler Wilson and not Trent Howard.  All I can say is I do like a strong whiskey to numb the pain.  I do regret the error, of course.

The GCL Orioles split a doubleheader with the GCL Twins.  In the Game 1 4-3 loss, 8th rounder John Ruettinger made his debut as a professional, and went 2-3 with a walk and a K.  Rod Bernadina went 0-3 with a walk.  Eduardo Rodriguez was pulled after two thirds of an inning, where he gave up 1 earned run on two hits and a walk.  20 year old Juan Guzman relieved Rodriguez, and went 4.1 innings, giving up 3 earned runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 3 and giving up a GB/FB of 4/4.  Despite the difficulty his ERA for the season still stands at 1.38.  In the Game 2 6-1 victory, Bernadina went 1-3 with a walk and a K.  Jaime Esquivel went 5 innings, giving up 1 earned run on 1 hit and 4 walks, striking out 2 and posting a GB/FB of 6/3.
