Seth McClung gave up two ninth inning unearned runs that cost the Bulls the win.  The final was 5-4 and a decent start by Jeff Niemann was wasted.  He gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings of work.

Wes Bankston hit a two run homer in the loss.  Elliot Johnson went two for four with a triple and two runs.

Bulls pitchers gave up a ton of hits and ended up losing to Pawtucket 5-3.  J.P. Howell gave up two runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in his start and Seth McClung was hit hard for three runs in one innings as he took the loss.

Joel Guzman drove in two runs and Chris Richard walked three times and scored a run.  The only player with two hits was Matthew Maniscalco, who went two for three with a walk.
