Wilmington-Potomac (top of the 12th):  Dan Leatherman (23 years old), fresh up from Low-A Hagerstown (former Twins farmhand signed as minor FA this season), comes into the game to make his Potomac debut (joined the roster yesterday with Cole Kimball).  The first batter sends a chopper over Stephen Kings head, but Daniel Lyons is there to field the ball in shallow left.  Unfortunately, and despite the stretch by Lefave, the runner reaches safely.  Paolo, the second batter, flys out to left with a 3-2 count.  Orlando steals second with a 1-2 count, the throw was just a second late by Solano.  Leatherman gets in trouble with another 3-2 count, but the batter swings and flies out for out #2.  Josh Johnson, 0-3 with a walk on the night, fouls out to Stephen King who catches it at the edge of the grass.

How will Potomac finish this game?  They have little experience this season in close games, as the majority of their wins have been blowouts.  Brown, Plancesia, Whiting (who came in for Burgess) are due up in the bottom of the 12th.
