Farmers only: Bats headed to the playoffs
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).

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…

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
