By Dean Russin - ONEONTA _ Maybe they’ll name a medical procedure after Jason Stephens some day.
The Oneonta Tigers certainly know he can stop the bleeding.
Two
seasons removed from Tommy John surgery, right-hander Stephens shut
down the O-Tigers with five innings of two-hit relief Wednesday as the
Staten Island Yankees earned a 9-5 New York-Penn League victory in
front of 715 fans at Damaschke Field.
"(Stephens)
was sharp and he threw his breaking ball for strikes," said O-Tigers
manager Andy Barkett, whose team is 1-1 against Staten Island in its
three-game home series, which concludes at 7 tonight.
