Auburn, NY - The Mahoning Valley Scrappers pitchers gave up runs in six of eight innings and lost game one of a three-game series to the Auburn Doubledays 11-0 tonight at Falcon Park. With the loss, the Scrappers have lost three straight games falling to 28-39 on the season. The Doubledays improved to 29-37 in 2010.

Jordan Cooper suffered the loss for the Scrappers lasting four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and striking out three. Shawn Griffith came in from the bullpen to earn the win pitching two scoreless innings for the Doubledays. Giovanny Urshela returned to the lineup tonight and went 0-4 with a strikeout.

After scoring a run in the bottom of the first, the Doubledays added to their lead in the bottom of the third inning. Gustavo Pierre doubled off Cooper and later scored with one out on a Carlos Perez single that made it 2-0. Lance Durham tripled home Perez to give the Doubledays a 3-0 lead. Steve McQuail brought Durham home on a sacrifice fly to make it 4-0. The Doubledays scored one more time off Cooper in the bottom of the fourth inning and scored two runs in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to cruise to a game one win.
