[DOWN ON THE FARM]
The Rays Will Not Deviate From Plan For Rocco Baldelli
Durham 2, Louisville 0. Ben Hendrickson pitched 6.1 scoreless innings, allowing only 3 hits and 3 walks. He struck out 4 and hit a batter...Scott Dohmann pitched the 9th for his 14th save...All of the offense came in the first inning on back-to-back home runs by Justin Ruggiano and Dan Johnson...John Jaso finished 1-3 and Reid Brignac was 0-3 with a pair of strikeouts.

Montgomery (off-day)

Vero Beach (off-day)

Greenville 5, Columbus 3. Greenville scored 3 in the top of the 9th off of Austin Hinkle for the win...Brian Flores started and allowed 2 runs in 6 innings...Chase Fontaine went 2-4 and hit his 2nd home run...Greg Sexton was 2-4 with a double and an RBI.

Hudson Valley 9, Aberdeen 2. Even though he was demoted to Hudson Valley, Glenn Gibson will apparently still work out of the bullpen, as he did yesterday pitching only two-thirds of an inning, striking out 1 and allowing 1 hit.

Pulaski 4, Princeton 2. Tim Beckham did not play.
