Spinners nearly escaped, what seemed to be an early blowout, against a resilient Brewers team. In the 1st the Spinners were able to plate 6 runs as Brewers pitching could not find the plate. After a pitching change the Spinners would make it 8-0 in the 2nd but that would be all the spinners could get across. Brewers would score 2 in the 3rd on a throwing error. In the 5th with 2 outs they would score 5 unanswered runs on hits by seemingly everyone. In the 7th, down by 1, the brewers 1st runner singled to right. That would end Mattina's night and D.Blomerth would enter in his old role of closer. After getting 2 quick pop outs he would strike out the next to secure the Spinners game 1 win.

Game 2 in Cambridge started off shaky for the Spinners. Taking an early lead, the Tigers scored 3 unearned runs in the 1st. Fighting back, Cambridge was able to cut the lead to 1 on a M.Tufo single and J.Tufo FC. The game would stay quiet as Blomerth and Wlodarczyk were both pitching well. But in the 6th M.Navarro led the Spinners rally with a lead off single. After a Knell walk and D.Caceres sac bunt, Big Mahk Killoren would tie the game up. M.Tufo would put the Spinners ahead by 1 with an RBI single to LF. Pettit would keep the rally going, giving Cambridge their eventual winning run, roping a double to LF. Tigers kept crawling back though. In the bottom half they would reach on throwing error and end Blomerth's (0 ER 5 In) night. They would later score that run, but that's all Mattina would allow. In the 7th behind great fielding Mattina picked up the save with a 1,2,3 7th. Spinners await their Rd. 2 opponent tonight.

Spinners come from behind in the 7th for what seems like the 100th time this season and pick up the win over a tough Tigers team. Both teams had great pitching throughout the game. Vernon cruised through 6 innings, striking out 12 and giving up no runs. Blomerth would give up 2R in the 2nd, walking 1 and giving up hits to both Stevens and West(2RBI) but would settle down after. Top 7 the Caceras bros would both reach base bringing up Big Mark Killeron(3RBI, 2H, 1HR). Down in the count big Mark connects with a fastball driving it to the right center gap for an inside-the-park HR putting the Spinners ahead 3-2. That would be all the Spinners 1st rd draft pick, Mattina(5 wins, 0 loss, 4 saves), would need to shut the door and pick up his 4th save of the season. Blomerth improves to 5-3.

Spinners win Sat against the Cutters. Both teams had little to no benches but managed to have an exciting game with lots of pitches, hits, hit batters, and lead changes. The lead would change numerous times throughout the game as both teams played aggressive baseball. With Cambridge up 9-8 in the top 7, the cutters reached base on 2 errors and Pollard would make those hurt, as he singled to left scoring 2 and putting the cutters ahead. In the bottom 7th the spinners loaded the bases with 1 out. After striking out the always dangerous O.Caceres, his big bro would pick him up. With a 1-0 count D.Caceres singled to center scoring the tying and winning run. Lippi pitched well in his first Spinners start. Mattina improves to 5-0.

After a forgettable game against the White Sox, Cambridge got back on track Sunday against the Brewers. Sunday didn't start off as hoped as the Brewers scored 2 runs with 2 outs, on hits by VanReenen and Fernandez. Spinners would answer back in the bottom half of the inning with 1 run. 2 runs is all the Brewers would get as Henkel settled down and pitched 5 solid innings. Spinners broke the game open early. In the 2nd after a series of walks, Killeran blasted a triple clearing the bases. Killeran finished the day 2-3 (1bb, double, triple, 5 rbi). Cambridge added 2 more in the 3rd and 3 in the 5th. Henkel improves to 3-0 as the Spinners capitalize on the Brewers pitching that struggled today.

A's BEAT SPINNERS IN TIGHT GAME GUISADO THROWS A GEM Late-arriving fans missed the only runs of this early-morning contest. Alan Donaruma led off with a walk and scored on a Nick Tapper double off the left field wall. Taking a cue from the veteran, young Rathapoom Asdornvuttikrai laced his own double off the wall to plate Tapper. That was all the offense the A's needed. Angelo Guisado picked up his league-leading fifth win, carrying a no-no into the sixth inning. He struck out five Spinners and yielded just three hits. Guisado out-dueled the Spinners' Dan Wilson, who pitched well in his own right. After the two-run first, Wilson kept the A's off the board, with the help of an outfield assist by center fielder Mike Knell. The Spinners play the Padres next weekend. The A's take on the Cutters tomorrow night to wrap up their three-game weekend road trip.

The Spinners win in walk off fashion to improve to 8-1. Wilson has one of his best starts of the season going 6IP with 10K and 0ER but would get the no decision. Tigers would hold the Spinners to just 1 run until the 5th when Megerdecian roped a RBI single (2 for 3, 1HBP, 1RBI) to put the Spinners ahead 2-0. In the 6th Stevens who reached on a single would steal 3rd causing an error and give the Tigers their 1R of the game. Spinners closer, Mattina, would start the 7th and get 2 quick outs but the next batter would reach on another costly error which later scores on a Griffiths single to tie the game. Bottom of the 7th Megerdecian reaches on a bunt and would steal 2nd then Knell (2 for 3, 1BB) would walk which brings to the plate O.Caceres. He would fight off a few pitches to eventually hit a walk off single up the middle scoring Megerdecian from 2nd and giving the Spinners the victory. Mattina improves to 3-0 on the season.

Skip to the 7th inning; up 1 run, the Spinners were down to their final out. With a runner on 2nd and 2 strikes Ciano hit a ball with eyes that took a nasty hop over the SS shoulder, scoring the tying run.

He settled down though, striking out the next 2 and getting a 5-3 ground ball. In the top of 9th with 1 out and men on 2nd/3rd Ciano stepped up again, hitting a chopper over the 3rd baseman's head scoring the go ahead run. Killeron would add one more on a sac fly.

Henkel's first MABL save. Grays wouldn't waste any time scoring 1R in the 1st. After a Baldassari walk he would make it to 3rd with ease on 2SB then would score on a SAC fly by Gulinello. Spinners answer back in the same inning after Mike Tufo (1-3) lined a double to left scoring a runner from first. Danny Caceras (1-2, 3rbis, 1bb) would tack on 1 more that inning on a FC then 2 more in the 3rd on a double to right center. In the 6th the Grays would string together a few hits and walks to score 2 more runs but would fall short. Spinners face their 4th division opponent of the season when they host the Brewers on Saturday.
