Ugly game all around. Domonic Brown didn't play after suffering a (reportedly minor) knee injury the night before. Pat Misch had been Lehigh Valley's best starting pitcher of late, but he got wrecked today.

Tonight was Susquehanna Health Pack the Park Night at Bowman Field in Williamsport, which featured a Cowboy Monkey Rodeo! What's that, you say you don't know what a Cowboy Monkey Rodeo is?
This day has already been weird enough, but monkeys dressed as cowboys will be riding dogs and herding sheep tonight at the Cutters game

This arguably led to a lot more drama than the game itself did.
One of the dogs just took a dump in left field, another one is taking a dump in foul territory by first base ... Still a game going on

They did not clean up any of the dog poop on the field
— Mitch Rupert (@Mitch_Rupert) July 23, 2012
Prior to the dog poop incidents, Larry Greene Jr made a great diving catch in left, got a great jump on a liner and made a nice layout grab

Real nice leaping catch from Tyler Greene at shortstop for the second out of the fourth ... And he did not land in dog poop ... I think
— Mitch Rupert (@Mitch_Rupert) July 24, 2012
Tyler Greene goes back nicely to catch a humpback liner, as soon as he catches it he jumps to avoid the dog poop, Scrappers lead 3-0 bot 4

Rupert is the Crosscutters' beat writer for the local Williamsport newspaper. Check out the entire Twitter feed from last night for other informative and entertaining tweets. Several of them are from an interview he did with Phillies' player development director Joe Jordan, covering many of the system's prospects.
GCL game was rained out today.
