   The Staten Island Yankees’ games are no longer broadcast on the radio. But the Brooklyn Cyclones games are. You can catch the broadcast online at http://www.live365.com/stations/wkrb?site=pro. I’m listening now. Game just started.

   Infield single
   Line single, first and third
   K looking (I think it was looking; my attention wavered)
   K looking
   BB to load the bases.
   K swinging

   0-0 end of one. 25 pitches for Hughes.

   Third inning for Hughes:

   Groundout on the first pitch
   Fly out on the first pitch
   K looking on 4 pitches.

   So after the 25-pitch first inning, he has an 8-pitch second inning and a 6-pitch third inning (39 pitches total), and has retired his last 7 batters.

   2-0 Staten Island as Hughes pitches in the 4th:

   K swinging
   Foul pop to catcher
   K looking

   10 in a row, 7 Ks in 4 innings, 54 pitches. The Mets announcer mentioned that the Cyclones strike out a lot, including 13 times in their last game.

   Ketchup won the hot dog race.

   Hughes in the 5th:

   Fly out to right
   Home run

   And they take Hughes out. As they went to the commercial break, they said he threw 59 pitches, but when they came back they said it was 64.

   I guess we’ll hear more about how fast he was throwing and how his arm felt.
