The Black team scored a tense, 6-5 victory in today's seven-inning intrasquad game at Ed Smith Stadium. Robert Andino hit a two-run home run for the top offensive highlight, but it wasn't all fun and frolic. The two squads combined to commit seven errors.

Tejada update: Miguel Tejada made his 2010 competitive debut at third base, but did not get a single ground ball.
