MURRAY HITS 100

Pride All-Star OF Glenn Murray found his homerun stroke again, finally belting his 100th career Atlantic League homer in the seventh inning of a 7-6 Pride loss to the Camden Riversharks on July 24th in Camden. Murray is the Atlantic League's all-time leading home run hitter, and his feat comes at a busy time of record setting in the league. Bridgeport Bluefish pitchers Tim Cain and Mike Guilfoyle have also recently set league marks in career wins and saves, respectively. Cain set the record for wins with a 4-3 victory over the Atlantic City Surf, Cain won his 46th career Atlantic League game, while Guilfoyle recently recorded his 100th save.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

The St. Louis Cardinals purchased the contract of former Ducks pitcher Pedro Borbon, Jr. from Triple-A Memphis on July 28th to take Lance Painter's (15-day DL) spot on the Major League roster. Following current Arizona Diamondback Carlos Baerga (Ducks 2001), Borbon will become the second player in Long Island history to make it back to the big leagues after playing for the Ducks. The call to the majors came just five days after Borbon's contract was purchased by Memphis from Long Island. Borbon pitched 1.0 inning on the same day he was recalled, giving up two hits and no runs in a 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh.
