Contact: Jim Cerny (973) 848-1000, ext. 109
NEWARK, NJ, September 6-Alberto Castillo tossed a complete-game six-hitter
as the Newark Bears defeated the Long Island Ducks for the second night in a
row, 4-1, Saturday night at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium.
Castillo, the Bears left-hander, allowed only an unearned run in the fourth
inning when Danny Clyburn misplayed a fly ball in left field. Castillo
(6-8), who earned a victory for the first time since August 12th, pitched
his second complete game of the season, striking out five batters and
walking one.
The Bears battered Ducks starter Brad Whitworth (5-8), chasing him in the
fifth inning after he allowed four runs and eight hits in 4.1 innings of
work. He allowed two home runs on the night, a solo blast to Ryan Minor in
the first inning and a two-run shot to Eddie Lara in the fifth.
Offensively the Bears were led by Lara, who was 2-4 with his 9th home run
and 2 RBI, Mike Piercy, who was 3-3 with an RBI and a run scored, and Eddy
Martinez, who went 2-3 with a run scored.
The Bears look for the sweep of this three-game series Sunday afternoon at
1:35 PM as Rolando Viera (2-1) gets the start for Newark and Bobby Rodgers
pitches for Long Island.

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.
