For the third consecutive season Triple-A Scranton is in the International League Championship Series, and they opened the best-of-five series with a win last night. Journeyman Bruce Caldwell had the game-winning hit and George Kontos nailed down the save. Scranton is looking for their second Triple-A classification title in the last three years, which is pretty cool.
Justus Sheffield, the Yankees’ top prospect, tossed three innings and allowed a run in last night’s win. The Yankees moved him to the bullpen a few weeks ago in advance of a potential September call-up and so far his relief appearances have been a bit of a mixed bag.
