As the San Francisco Giants opened the Bay Bridge Series with a victory, five of their minor league teams took the field as well. While all the rookie league teams (AZL Orange, AZL Black, DSL Giants) had the day off, all the upper level teams played. AAA Sacramento lost, but AA RIchmond and High-A San Jose came away winners. Single-A Augusta and short-season A Salem-Keizer both lost as well.
Some of the day’s best performers:
The Flying Squirrels and Trenton Thunder played a great ballgame on Friday night. After Richmond jumped out to a lead, Trenton came thundering back in the eighth inning to tie it, forcing extra innings.
