| Breaking News |  | Hudson Grabs NYP Top Pitcher Trophy Wednesday, September 1st, 2010: Tim Hudson left little doubt in the minds of New York-Penn League officials that he should be named August's Pitcher of the Month for his outstanding performance.
"I wasn't always confident at the start of a game," said Hudson. "Sometimes it's hard to get into the flow -- the calls aren't going your way or you're trying to spot your pitches too much. You just have to relax and use what you've been taught all your life -- get back to basics -- good mechanics, control, location, keep the ball down."
The 20-year-old tossed 49 innings of quality baseball -- going 5-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 43 strikeouts.
In 10 starts this season Hudson has notched a 5-2 record and a 2.94 ERA. |  | August's Premier Batter Announced Wednesday, September 1st, 2010: The hard-hitting right fielder from Vermont, Fernando Montoya, wielded a big bat in August and was hailed as the New York-Penn League Batter of the Month.

This season Montoya is hitting .317 with 71 hits, 8 home runs, 39 RBIs, scored 39 runs and played in 52 games. |  | Gross Sizzles with 25-Game Batting Streak Tuesday, August 31st, 2010: Chalk up another one for Vermont shortstop Rick Gross. He now has hit in 25 straight games. Gross went 1-for-3 today's game at Ballpark of Lowell. However, his club was defeated 9-5 by Lowell. Rick Gross walked in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th and flied out in the 7th.
So far in 2010 Gross is batting .355 with no home runs, 17 RBIs and 24 runs scored. He has 49 hits in 138 at-bats and a .395 OBP. | | | | | Yesterday's Games - | | Away Team | Home Team | Result | Time | Winning Pitcher | Losing Pitcher | | Vermont | Lowell | 5-9 | 7:05 pm | A.García (1-1, 8.10 ERA) | J.Hernández (2-2, 6.75 ERA) | | Staten Island | Jamestown | 5-7 | 7:05 pm | J.Gonzáles (6-2, 2.29 ERA) | G.Hendriks (3-1, 9.00 ERA) | | Brooklyn | Connecticut | 1-2 | 7:05 pm | M.George (8-3, 3.20 ERA) | S.Drapeau (4-4, 3.94 ERA) | | Mahoning Valley | Aberdeen | 4-5 | 7:05 pm | P.Marlin (9-3, 3.19 ERA) | H.Boland (2-7, 5.28 ERA) | | Hudson Valley | State College | 8-10 | 7:05 pm | N.Crosby (3-1, 9.98 ERA) | P.Gunther (2-1, 4.94 ERA) | | Batavia | Williamsport | 7-3 | 7:05 pm | O.Dyer (4-7, 5.04 ERA) | K.Cole (3-7, 5.38 ERA) | | Tri-City | Auburn | 4-6 | 7:05 pm | R.Dundee (5-2, 3.83 ERA) | R.Hendriksen (4-4, 3.90 ERA) | | | Today's Games - | | Away Team | Home Team | Time | Starting Pitcher Away Team | Starting Pitcher Home Team | | Hudson Valley (27-37, Road: 17-17) | Connecticut (38-26, Home: 17-14) | 7:05 pm | RHP G.Frazier (3-5, 4.52 ERA) | RHP J.Lozano (4-4, 3.65 ERA) | | Jamestown (31-33, Road: 14-18) | Mahoning Valley (26-38, Home: 11-21) | 7:05 pm | RHP J.Ruíz (4-6, 5.49 ERA) | LHP C.Robert (1-0, 1.69 ERA) | | Lowell (34-30, Road: 16-16) | Brooklyn (33-31, Home: 16-13) | 7:05 pm | RHP R.Martínez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) | LHP B.Gagné (1-1, 4.05 ERA) | | Williamsport (40-24, Road: 16-13) | Auburn (35-29, Home: 18-14) | 1:05 pm | RHP K.Yamada (3-3, 3.48 ERA) | RHP P.Tracy (1-1, 6.91 ERA) | | State College (19-45, Road: 10-22) | Tri-City (30-34, Home: 14-18) | 7:05 pm | RHP A.Marino (0-0, 0.00 ERA) | LHP R.Atkinson (5-7, 4.79 ERA) | | Aberdeen (30-34, Road: 12-17) | Batavia (28-36, Home: 17-15) | 7:05 pm | RHP D.Ames (2-4, 4.22 ERA) | RHP M.Kitur (0-0, 0.00 ERA) | | Staten Island (37-27, Road: 16-16) | Vermont (40-24, Home: 24-8) | 7:05 pm | RHP M.Flanagan (0-0, 0.00 ERA) | RHP T.Lemieux (1-1, 3.72 ERA) | | |
