July 19, 2006: A.J. = A "W"

A.J. Burnett once again justified his huge off-season contract, providing Fleetwood with a great start versus Glen Allen.

Working into the 7th inning, Burnett allowed just 2 hits and 4 walks before giving way to Fleetwood's bullpen. Juan Dominguez and Ryan Vogelsong then followed with 2.2 scoreless innings and combined with Burnett on a 3-hit win for Fleetwood.

Starring at the plate for the Walkers were Jermaine Dye and Marcus Giles, both of whom hit home runs. Giles' shot knocked out Glen Allen starting pitcher Barry Zito in just the 2nd inning, while Dye's homer added to his sizzling July performance.
