Scranton, Pennsylvania
Saturday, April 15, 2006 - Sunday, April 16, 2006
This was a weekend away, out of town on our own. We drove to Scranton to watch the Red Barons game (sat in section 113, row L, seats 6&7) against the Norfolk Tides (and many players that once played for our B-Mets), and then continued on down Route 81 to the Country Inn and Suites in Frackville, PA. Turned around and made our way back up 81 to home on Sunday./

White (2-0) walked one, struck out six and threw 52 of 79 pitches for strikes. He has allowed two runs on seven hits over 13 innings this season for a 1.38 ERA.
Ryan Cameron followed White with two perfect innings, earning his second save.
John Maine (0-2) allowed a run on four hits over six solid innings for Norfolk (3-7), which was shut out for the third time this year.
Josh Kroeger highlighted a four-run eighth with a three-run homer for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (4-6). Kroeger finished 2-for-3 and Bobby Scales went 2-for-4 for the Red Barons, who dropped the series opener, 6-4, on Friday.
