Relieving The Tension
Two of the main players in this week's OB Indy League Top 10 are facing off this weekend in a matchup of the Atlantic League's two first-half division winners — the Camden Riversharks and Somerset Patriots. In the first game of the series in Camden last night, Somerset broke a 2-2 tie with two runs in the sixth inning and, more importantly, held it with a lock-tight effort from its bullpen.
Relievers Byron Batson, Rick Asadoorian and closer Brian Reith combined to go four innings with just a single hit and one walk to pave the way for a 5-2 Patriots win.
None of this information, by the way, was provided by the Camden Courier-Post, which covers the local Riversharks about as much as Paris Hilton's backside covers a sofa.
