June 30, 2007 - The baby bombers were the first to score in the rubber game of a three game set against the Aberdeen Ironbirds at Ripken Stadium.  With two outs, Damon Sublett walked and David Williams belted a ground ball single to center.  Sublett scored on an error by the second baseman, who missed the catch.  Zach McAllister got the start for the bombers on the mound, after a lead off error he settled in to retire the next three batters.

 

            McAllister pitched 5.0 innings, giving up 3 runs while striking out 5 batters.  He was replaced by John Axford who went on to pitch the remaining 4.0 innings.  The Yankees would turn it on at the plate, having two multi-run innings in route to the victory over the Ironbirds.
