Diamond Dust--Church, White, Dotzler, Carlson


RYAN CHURCH’s 1.000 batting average in A-ball with the Brooklyn Cyclones was chopped in half Friday night in the second game of his rehab assignment.

Churchie went 0-for-3 as the Cyclones nipped Aberdeen 4-3. With his minor league BA at .500 he is expected back with the Mets this weekend.

They need him. They continued their schizophrenic ways Friday with bully 15-6 victory at Yankee Stadium but then a pathetic 9-0 loss at the hands of Sidney Ponson of the Yanks at Shea Stadium.

WHITE HOT

In Troy, New York CHRIS WHITE exploded for three hits in five trips to the plate including a two-out RBI for the Oneonta Tigers of the Class A New York-Penn League. The base knocks were White’s first hits of the year after he missed seven games due to injury. He is playing left field and batting in the crucial #2 spot for the Tigers. The hits also got him his first batting average at .214. Unfortunately the Tigers fell 8-6 to the home team Tri-City Valley Cats.
