AXFORD GETS FIRST PRO WIN

Port Dover, Ont., pitcher John Axford earned his first win since joining the Yankees organization last night. Axford threw three scoreless innings in the Staten Island Yankees' 3-2 win over the Tri-City ValleyCats in a New York-Penn League game. The right-hander didn't walk anybody and struck out out Tri-City's 3-4-5 hitters in his his final inning, the eighth. That was one of a pair of three-up, three-down innings for Axford.

It wasn't a bad weekend for ballplayers from Port Dover: Megan Timpf was on Canada's team that won a silver medal in women's fastpitch at the Pan-Am Games.
