Minor Details: Games of 7/4
A six-run inning is not enough for the Snappers, as Clinton shows why they’re the LumberKings and not the LeatherKings. The DSL Twins settle for two touchdowns and a two-point conversion. Byron Buxton gets his first mention. A Jason Repko sighting!
Minor Details: Games of 7/3
A huge first inning in New Britain. The DSL Twins get out-hit, yet put up three touchdowns in seven innings and win by eight. Elizabethton apparently has a player to be named later.
