Steve Barmakian's run-scoring triple in the second inning accounted for NY's only other RBI, while reliever Aaron Dona took the loss on the mound. The right hander gave up five runs on five hits and a walk, working 1 2/3 innings in relief ofstarting pitcher Blaine Traxel, who was touched for four runs on five hits over 3 2/3.
The split-venue series continues on Saturday at Clover Stadium as the Boulders celebrate their home opener. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35pm EDT, following Friday night's previously-announced postponement because of anticipated inclement weather.
