Candeloro goes 4-for-5 to Light Yankees2 Fuse
The New York A2 (GCL) Yankees2 beat the Houston (GCL) Astros, 10-7, at Timberwolves Stadium. Arnauld Candeloro was 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles. He scored 4 times. The 17-year old second baseman was a menace to Houston (GCL) all day. The Yankees2 sport a record of 21-35.

Joe Sawyer went 2-4 with 2 doubles, while adding 2 RBI for New York A2 (GCL). The 20-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Luis Gallegos. It was his 12th RBI of the season.

"I liked the focus, I liked the effort," said Yankees2 manager Jose Flores.
