Yankees2 Turn Back Atlanta (GCL), 3-2
The New York A2 (GCL) Yankees2 dumped the Atlanta (GCL) Firebirds, 3-2, in large part due to second baseman Alan Kennedy. On the day, Kennedy was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs for the Yankees2. Joey Christensen got the win, improving to 1-0. He held the Firebirds to 1 run on 3 hits over 5 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Bob Wolfe earned the save, his 1st, for the Yankees2.

With runs few and far between, the Yankees2 had to seize their opportunities when they came. One of the most important chances for New York A2 (GCL) came in the top of the first inning, when right fielder Bob Gustafson delivered a 2-run triple. The triple was hit off Jeff Reid and made the score 2-0, Yankees2. Gustafson went 1-3 with a triple. He drove in 2 runs.

"I was a little disappointed," said Atlanta (GCL) manager Trevor Plouffe. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

At 8-10, the Yankees2 are currently last in the Northeast Division.
