Surprise defeats Mesa, 7-3
- Zach Kroenke gave up 3 hits in 2 shutout innings, and struck out 1.
- Grant Duff walked 1 in a scoreless inning of work.
- Brandon Laird was 1 for 5 with a 3-run shot and 3 strikeouts. Laird is hitting .625 in AFL play so far, albeit in a very small sample size.
- Austin Romine, catching, was 2 for 5, and threw out 1/3 runners attempting to steal. He is hitting .462 so far.
In non-Yankee prospect news, Nationals uber-prospect Stephen Strasburg made his professional debut for the Phoenix Desert Dogs. Strasburg performed well as expected, hurling 3 1/3 shutout innings, with 2 strikeouts and a walk. Even though he’s not a Yankee prospect, he will definitely be fun to follow in the hitter-friendly AFL.

How do you give up 3 runs in 2 shut out innings?
It’s really hard to do but if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. Or it could actually be 3 hits.
You beat me to it. Almost my exact words!
Hey guys, he meant 3 hits!
I know but I had to rib him for it.. I mean it was a 3 run shut out inning.
D’oh.
