Hampton and Hamilton Highlight Patriots Victory

On a glorious Father’s Day in Bridgewater, the Somerset Patriots were led by two pitchers, one named Hampton, the other Hamilton, in a 4-3 win for the New York Yankees Double-A affiliate over the Pittsburgh Pirates Double-A affiliate, the Atloona Curve. The Somerset Patriots are now winners of nine of its last 10 games.

Chase Hampton made his Double-A debut with Somerset on Sunday afternoon. He was excellent, giving up three-runs, two-earned, over six innings of work. He walked none and struck out eight. At one point Hampton held Altonna to a single run over five innings, and limited the Curve to just one hit over a four inning span.

Ranked 24th in the Yankees farm system, Hampton is a player the Yankees like a lot, drawing comparisons by mlb.com to Ken Waldichuk, Hayden Wesneski, Will Warren, and Richard Fitts.  That’s really good company.

Hampton started the season in High-A Hudson Valley where he pitched to a 2.68 ERA in nine starts.

As for Ian Hamilton. He was credited with the win Sunday for the Patriots. The 28-year old Hamilton is rehabbing from an injury that has kept him out of the Yankees bullpen since mid-May. The Yankees, who have one of baseball’s best bullpen’s, would love to get Hamilton back in the fold.

He tossed a clean inning in relief in the top of the seventh.

In the bottom half of that inning, Trey Sweeney connected on a two-run homer that proved to be the game winner.

The Patriots (39-23) are off Monday, but back in action on Tuesday with Carlos Rodon making his highly anticipated rehab outing in Somerset against New Hampshire.

After a long day of work, there is nothing like coming home to your furry friends and their unconditional love. They’re full of pure excitement, jumping & wagging their tail, just to see you walk through that door. They pour their love into you because they’ve missed you all day and we do the same to them. Because of this mutual devotion to each other, most cat & dog owners consider their pets to be their children too. They are certainly considered to be a huge part of the family. Not only do they provide companionship for us as humans, but it is also said that this relationship is good for our own physical & mental health. They can sense when our moods or energy is off. Some can even sense if we are sick in some way and provide us with much-needed comfort during that time.
