So I have decided to "live blog" the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees double header currently going on.  They are playing the Louisville Bats (CIN).  Dan Giese (SWB) vs Homer Bailey (CIN).  Even though it's in the middle of Game 1, I will start from the very beginning . . .

Homer Bailey's line: 5 IP, 4 hits (1 homerun), 4 R/ER, 6 walks, 4 strikeouts, HBP, 99 pitches, 50 strikes

Bottom of the sixth:

Kevin Barker grounds out (1 out)

Ryan Hanigan singles

Adam Rosales flies out (2 out)

Drew T Anderson strikes out BUT wild pitch by Dan Giese; Drew T Anderson to first; Ryan Hanigan to second

Michael Griffin grounds out (3 out)

So apparently the game just ended.  Just ended.  After 7 innings, the game ended.  7 innings, not 9 innings.  Weird.  

Anyway, Dan Giese is my new favorite pitcher.  Danny pitched a complete game shutout!!  His line: 7 IP, 3 hits, 0 R/ER, walk, 4 strikeouts, 90 pitches, 63 strikes, wild pitch.

(Todd Coffey's line for LOU: 1 IP, 0 hits, 0 R/ER, 0 walks, strike out)
