JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR KAY: Yesterday's Game 1 starter Anthony Kay threw a 3-hit shutout (over 7 IP)...with one walk and 8 strikeouts on 87 pitches. He moves to 3-2, with an ERA of 1.24 (2nd in Eastern League) . Hitters are also batting only .148 against him, the lowest in the Eastern League.

MAZEIKA'S FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC: Patrick Mazeika had the walk-off grand slam in Game 2 of the doubleheader...giving the Ponies a 5-1 win. Mazeika extends his hitting streak to a team-high 13 games. Mazeika also had a two-run double in Game 1, finishing with 6 RBI for the day! This past Saturday Mazeika also had a game-tying two-run homer (his 1st of the year) in the 8th inning against the Fisher Cats.

SUCCESS AGAINST THE WEST: The Ponies are now 13-2 against Western Division teams this year, and 8-1 facing them on the road. Altoona is the fourth Western Division team the Rumble Ponies have faced this season (Akron, Erie, and Harrisburg are the other three).
