Sluggers in trouble

The Louisville Sluggers, with a little over a week to play, are 3 games behind New York for the East division, and 2 behind the surprising Toledo Mud Hens for the wild card.

They kept pace today with a 5-3 lead over Orlando. With the game tied at 3 in the 9th, Sluggers rookie John McConnell delivered a 2 run double. McConnell, nephew of Kentucky's non-ex-MLB Senator, is one of the bright spots of the farm system, and could be the third baseman of the future.
