Triple-A: The Bats beat Durham 6-3, clinching the International League West Division title with 11 games to go. Adam Pettyjohn struck out 7 in 8 innings, and Shaun Cumberland was 2 for 4. Rick Sweet also became the winningest manager in Louisville franchise history (297-267).

Double-A: Danny Dorn, Chris Valaika and Justin Turner homered in Chattanooga's 9-3 win. Dorn was 2 for 5 with his 20th shot, Turner was 3 for 3 with his 8th and Valaika was 2 for 4 with his 17th. Something should also be said for Robert Manuel, the 25-year-old who has appeared in 44 games for the Lookouts this season. He struck out 3 in 2 perfect innings and has had a remarkable year: 99 Ks in 80.2 innings with just 17 walks for a 1.23 ERA.

Thanks

I wonder if I can get tickets? I’ve never known Scranton to be sold out (and I always just show up and buy a ticket when I get there…if I’m not given one by a passer-by).

Might be different for the post-season, though…

I don’t know about scranton, but normally post season games have smaller attendace in the IL, oddly. Scranton playoff tickets go on sale online at noon tomorrow.

Robert Manuel? Who else remembers how the Reds got him?

He was the guy we got for Dave Williams. So Sean Casey = 25 yo in AA. Woo!

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
