High-A: Clearwater 9, Tampa 4

George Kontos made his season debut yesterday, and it went as well as can be expected for someone coming off of major arm surgery. The right-hander lasted just 2 2/3 and allowed four hits and three earned runs. He also fanned four and walked one. Don't be surprised if he's in Trenton in short order. Mitch Abeita was 2-for-3 with two doubles, and Neil Medchill and Jack Rye also had two hits apiece. Medchill also drove in three runs and scored once.
