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.

Matt White pitched seven innings of two-hit ball to lead Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to a 6-0 victory over visiting Norfolk on Saturday.

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.

The four-game series continues at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday. --Max Lance/MLB.com
