Aerodynamics.
* Game On.The Aeros resumed play on their suspended game from the night before where the Mets fought their way back into the contest after RHP Erik Stiller was tagged with three runs in 1.2 innings, before RHP Chen Lee came into the game to provide the Aeros bullpen with a solid relief effort going 2.0 innings before RHP Neil Wagner pitched the final 1.1 innings to lock down the Aeros first win of the season and his first save of the year.
* Join the Party.The bats were alive in Binghamton before the rains came and when play resumed on Friday night the bats seemed to have cooled off. INF Beau Mills drove in his first run of the year in Game 2, he joins Lonnie Chisenhall and Matt McBride who both have two, while Jared Goedert, Wyatt Toregas and Tim Fedroff all have driven in one run each.
* O-H-I-O. Today's Starter Bowling Green, Ohio native RHP Connor Graham will be making his first start of the 2010 season where he looks to improve on his 2009 campaign and hold down the no. 3 spot in the rotation and get the Aeros back in the W column after the Aeros dropped game two 5-1 against the Mets.
* Carlos Santana Watch.Santana continued to show his power with the Clippers last night during the slugfest in Columbus, where he went to bat five times, with 2 runs, 2B, HR and 3 RBI. Santana hasn't skipped a beat and appears to be right on track after two games to repeat the success he had with the Aeros in 2009.
* Did You Know. On April 10, 1982 - Under icy conditions, the Cleveland Indians opened the season at Municipal Stadium with an 8-3 loss to the Texas Rangers before 62,443 fans. Five hundred tons of snow had to be removed from the field; the game-time temperature was 38 degrees with a wind chill of 17.
