Staten Island Upended by Tri-City, 8-1
The Tri-City ValleyCats downed the Staten Island Pizza Rats, 8-1, at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium. Stellar pitching by Yeardley Stempel had a lot to do with it. The left-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. Stempel yielded no runs over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 1-3. Tri-City is now 21-17, Staten Island 12-26.

Rafi Vasconez hit a 2-run home run off Jason Wilson in the bottom of the first, which put the ValleyCats ahead, 2-0. In addition to the homer, Vasconez had 1 double, while going 2 for 4.

Said losing manager Max Collison: "The list goes on and on of things we just flat out didn't do."
