West Virginia Stopped, 6-5, by Staten Island
The Staten Island Yankees topped the West Virginia Black Bears, 6-5, with youngster Juan López playing a key role. López went 2 for 2 with a double. He drove in 3 runs for the Yankees in the win. The win went to Mario Aguilar in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Joel James took the loss. Edgar López nailed down his 3rd save.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until López delivered big-time for Staten Island, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Joel James. The game-changing hit put the Yankees on top, 6-5.

In comments to the Staten Island Chronicle, López admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."

Staten Island is now 9-13, West Virginia 6-16.
