In 140 Characters or Less: Conor Bierfeldt hits his team leading 16th homer of the season in a 9-2 loss to York. Bees head to Lancaster tomorrow #ItsBetterWithTheBees

 

The Game Changed When… With the Revolution leading 1-0, Carlos Triunfel came to bat for York in the top of the 1st inning with the bases loaded. He would send a 1-0 pitch over the wall to bring everybody home with one swing of the bat, extending the York lead to 5-0 with a grand slam. It would be enough to secure the victory for the Revolution as the 9-2 final was reached.
