In-Game Updates (LIVE from the ballpark): This Alan Horne stuff is the biggest news to hit here all season, so it’s going to be a little light until I get everything hammered out with that.

PLEASE LOOK BELOW THIS POST FOR HORNE QUOTES, VIDEOS AND PHOTO. ALSO, COMING SOON WILL BE TOMMY PHELPS QUOTES RE: HORNE.

McAllister looking good through one…he struck out two of the first three batters he faced.

Mike Mooney doubles home a run off of McAllister in the third, after an outstretched Colin Curtis just missed corraling the ball…

In the bottom of the third, with the bases loaded and nobody out, Eduardo Nunez grounds into a 4-3…but also drives home a run. 1-1, B3. 1 out.

Reegie Corona with a little flare to center…2-1, B3, 1 out.

2-2 game after a passed ball eludes Kyle Anson…T4

Trenton’s missing a lot of chances here…it’s now 3-2 Defenders, T5.

McAllister out…after 4? Wilkins Arias in. I don’t think he threw enough pitches to where he’d get taken out…I wonder what’s up.

In-Game Photos:

Jorge Vazquez lined a ball over the net and into the glass windows that seal off the press box. The window did not handle this well…
