NEWARK, NJ, August 12-Alberto Castillo and Reggie Harris combined on a
six-hit shutout as the Newark Bears ended a five-game losing streak with a
6-0 victory over the Pennsylvania Road Warriors Tuesday night at Bears and
Eagles Riverfront Stadium. It was the ninth shutout for the Bears this
season, their fourth against Pennsylvania.
Castillo (5-5) tossed eight innings and struck out eight batters, tying a
season high. He allowed six hits and three walks, while leaving ten runners
on base. Castillo left at least one man on base in each inning and he left
the bases loaded in the second inning when he struck out Jose Espino to
close out the frame. Harris pitched a perfect ninth inning.
Newark scored a run in the first inning on Danny Clyburn's two-out,
run-scoring double and then scored at least one run in the each of the final
four innings. Pete Maestrales was 2-3 with a two-run home run, his fourth of
the season, in the 6th inning.
Eddie Lara returned to the Bears lineup after sitting out the weekend series
in Somerset with a sore hand and went 3-5 with a double and a run scored.
Michael Coleman had two hits and an RBI; and Juan Lorenzo extended his
hitting streak to ten consecutive games with a 4th inning single.
The Bears and Road Warriors will face one another Wednesday afternoon in a
special 12:05 PM matinee game. Jaime Navarro (7-3) will start for Newark.
