Tuesday 25 August:: Burlington 2, at Princeton 1

Princeton snapped an 18-inning scoreless streak with a run in the bottom of the 9th.

But that lone run was not enough as the P-Rays dropped this series (2-1), and the season series (5-4) to the worst team in the Appalachian League.

To make matters worse, Princeton finishes 2009 with a losing record at home (14-16).

Princeton hit just .204 in this series -- after a ten-hit outburst in a victory in game one. Burlington hit only .149, but won the last two games by virtue of a 6-3 advantage in extra-base hits.

The P-Rays start a season-ending nine-game road trip with a single game at Bluefield tomorrow night (Wednesday 26 August).
Princeton has already secured this year's Mercer Cup series against the Orioles, but needs a win to hang on to second place in the Appy League East.
We'll start our broadcast with the P-Rays Pre-Game Show at 6:30 pm EDT. Game time at historic Bowen Field is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
Tune in to Classic Rock 102 The River (WMTD 102.3 FM) or log on to theriver102.com.

Princeton needs to win four games on this road trip to insure a winning season.
