 Pacheco, who was acquired in the Sandy Alomar trade, pitched well in two innings of relief, striking out three Mudcat batters.
Scott Bikowski once again led the Barons offensive attack, going two for three with two walks. Jon Acevas provided the most power for the Barons, slamming a pinch-hit double off of Mudcat reliever Steve Kent. Chad Durham, brother of Ray, had a night to forget in the leadoff spot, going 0-6 with four strikeouts.
The series between the Mudcats and Barons will end today at 2:00 PM EST, as Jim Bullard (0-0) will try to defeat top Marlins prospect Dontrelle Willis (0-0).
The Warthogs had to come from behind all night, but their perseverance paid off as the Hogs defeated the Salem Avalanche 6-5 in 12 innings.
John Lackaff was the hero for the Hogs, going 3-3 with 3 RBI, but more importantly drove in the winning runs in the 12th inning with a game winning double. Down 5-4 with one out, Lackaff doubled off of Francisco Pena scoring Eric Welsh and Normand Martel.
Wyatt Allen pitched effectively for the Hogs, going six innings, giving up two earned runs while striking out five Avalanche batters. Josh Fields (1-0) picked up the win by giving up an unearned run over two innings. Brian Rodaway received a tough no decision for the Avalanche, pitching brilliantly over six innings.
Darren Ciraco and Mike Spidale also contributed to the Hogs offensive comeback, going 2-3 and 2-5 respectively. Ruddy Yan had his first sub par game of the year, going 0-5.
Today, Salem will try to avoid the sweep against the Hogs, but top prospect Kris Honel (1-0) will be pitching.
Behind stellar performances by shortstop Andy Gonzalez and starter B.J. LaMura (1-1), the Intimidators defeated the Delmarva Shorebirds 4-3.
Shortstop Andy Gonzalez got Kannapolis off to a fast start in the 1st, launching a two run home run off of Delmarva starter Daniel Cabrera (0-1). The Intimidators added two more runs, one in the 2nd and one in the 8th, to barely hold off the Shorebirds. Anthony Webster did a good job at the top of the lineup, going 1-4 with a walk and a stolen base, his third of the season.
Intimidators' starter B.J. LaMura pitched five spectacular innings, giving up only one run while striking out six batters. The Intimidator bullpen was shaky, giving up two runs in four innings, but Rick Hummel emerged with his first save of the year.
The Intimidator offense only had five hits, three of them from Andy Gonzalez, but it was just enough as the pitching of the Intimidators did its job.
The Intimidators will go for the sweep of Delmarva tonight, with the starters of the game unannounced at this time.An ex-government informant has been charged with the largest identity theft scam in the US history, in which he stole details of as many as 130 million credit cards and debit cards accounts from big retail companies.
Albert Gonzalez, 28, of Miami, who previously worked with the US secret agency, has had two anonymous Russian accomplices, who helped him in breaching into the databases of some of the big retail chains, and selling the stolen information across the world.
As per the 14-page indictment, the hackers picked credit card details from the store ‘7-Eleven’, ‘Heartland Payment Systems’, which is a New Jersey-based firm that specializes in processes payments, and ‘Hannaford’, the popular supermarket chain. In addition, the hackers also targeted two other unnamed companies, according to the reports from US attorney’s office in New Jersey.
The indictment further notified that Gonzalez, along with his partners, used sophisticated techniques to keep away from detection, such as connecting to firms’ computers using proxy servers, testing around 20 distinct antivirus applications to check out whether their malware might be caught, as well as employing malware that tried to remove signs of its presence.
Gonzalez was previously working with the US secret service to catch the hackers, but later was caught have been helping criminals by passing the crucial details on various investigations to them, authorities said.
Also known as “soupnazi” among online users, Gonzalez is already in jail in New York, charged with others of picking the credit card information of almost 40 million people across the globe.
This is a sad case of a white hat hacker who turned bad and joined the dark side. How many of those chose to become criminals, lured by the staggering amount of money they can get from selling credit card details? There are almost certainly scores of other such hackers who have managed to stay under the radar because they are located in countries such as China or Russia where law enforcement is a more complex procedure.

School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-The dads at this construction site teach by example and encourage their youngsters to strive to do their best. For example, there's Excavator Big, who "helps little Vator dig./They go/ scoop,/scoop,/scoop." The patterned text continues in this vein, "Steamroller Brave/shows little Roller how to pave./They go roll,/roll,/ roll." heavy-outlined cartoon artwork depicts the machines prominently profiled and personified on the page with a simply drawn eye in the passenger-side window or windshield (the only white space on most spreads). There is nothing out of the ordinary about the rhyme or the artwork, but the message of "Mighty Dads say,/'I'm proud of you!/ Tomorrow let's build/something new!'" is just the ticket for vehicle-obsessed youngsters who can't get enough of construction play.-Luann Toth, School Library Journal (c) Copyright 2014.

Horn Book Review
Boom Truck Tall / helps Boomer crash a wall. / They go / crash, / bang, / boom!" A series of occasionally disorienting rhymes describe the work of father trucks and their lookalike apprentice offspring. The illustrations (by Pete the Cat's creator) have a studied coarseness about them and will please kids and parents alike. (c) Copyright 2014.

Booklist Review
The author of Little Red Writing (2013) and Zero the Hero (2012) offers an ode to construction vehicles and their offspring. Using rhymed couplets and action verbs, 10 spreads introduce individual heavy machines and their functions: Excavator Big / helps little Vator dig. / They go / scoop, / scoop, / scoop. Dean, best known for the Pete the Cat books, depicts both large and small versions of vehicles doing their thing. Throughout, each is realistically portrayed, save for anthropomorphizing eyes. The colorful artwork also includes interesting details (motor oil, toolbox, construction cones) without becoming cluttered. Once everyone is introduced, the young ones join their dads at work, and at the end of the day, Mighty Dads say, / I'm proud of you! / Tomorrow let's build / something new!' This makes for a perfect choice for story hours the vivid verbs demand to be chanted and dramatized and pairs nicely with Sherri Duskey Rinker's Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site (2011) or Kate Banks' more realistic The Night Worker (2000).--Weisman, Kay Copyright 2010 BooklistSuperb contemporary architecturally designed four bedroom detached property set on a large private site of circa 0.36 acres.
