NEWARK, NJ, September 2-In a game that was postponed after five innings, the
Somerset Patriots defeated the Newark Bears, 10-2, Tuesday night at Bears
and Eagles Riverfront Stadium. The contest was called because of poor field
conditions as rain had been falling the entire game.
Somerset scored three runs in the first inning, three more in the fourth and
four runs in the fifth inning. Edgard Clemente delivered a two-out single in
the first and Ryan Radmanovich followed with a two-run home run, his 17th of
the season, to give the Patriots a lead they would never relinquish. Luis
Lopez added a two-run home run in the fourth, his 7th of the year, and Norm
Hutchins crushed a grand slam blast for his first home run of the season in
the fifth inning.
Hut Smith (0-5) started and took the loss for the Bears, allowing 6 runs (3
earned) and five hits in 3.2 innings of work. Andy Hazlett allowed the grand
slam to Hutchins and walked three other batters in 1.1 innings.
Offensively for the Bears, Ryan Minor hit his 2nd home run of the season, a
solo blast, in the first inning and Hipolito Martinez (1-2) extended his
hitting streak to six consecutive games with a fourth inning single.
Justin Jensen (7-3) earned the win and his second complete game of the
season for the Patriots. He tossed five innings, allowing two runs and three
hits while striking out five batters.
The Bears, who have lost four in a row and eight of their last nine, will
host the Patriots in a doubleheader that begins at 11:05 AM Wednesday.
Rolando Viera (1-1) and Jaime Navarro (10-4) will start for the Bears while
Somerset will counter with Steve Falteisek (7-5) and Jason Dickson (10-5).

New Jersey Fact:
"New Jersey is a small state on the eastern seaboard halfway between Honest John Lindsay and the Liberty Bell. It is best known for its turnpike, Atlantic City, Imamu Baraka, Newark Airport and the Morro Castle disaster. Most of its leaders are in jail for stealing money...."
Over thirty years ago, this was how a New York Times writer described New Jersey. The only things that have changed are that now Bloomberg has Lindsay's old job and Amiri Baraka figured out somewhere along the line that it's not too swift for an atheist to use a religious title.
