Laffey, a 6-foot, 180-pound lefthander, is 5-2 with a 2.45 ERA for the Captains. In 11 appearances covering 62 1/3 innings, Laffey, 20, has allowed just 17 earned runs. He has held opposing hitters to a .227 average. Laffey's 2.45 ERA currently ranks seventh in the SAL.

On May 16th at Hickory, Sipp, 21, threw seven no-hit innings against the Crawdads before leaving the game due to his pitch limit. Sipp played his final college season at Clemson before signing in the 45th round of the 2004 draft.

Reyes, 22, has been the Captains most consistent hitter this season. A versatile defender who has played third, short, second and center, Reyes is currently hitting .327 with two home runs and 33 RBI. Entering Friday's game at Hagerstown, Reyes has hit in seven straight games, going 20 for his last 34 (.588).
