ROSTER MOVE: P Reymond Cruz has been activated. P Joanniel Montero has been placed on the inactive list.
The Barnstormers took three of four from Bridgeport and have improved their road record to 26-37. Eleven of the 17 full games on their schedule are at home and there’s only one overnight-stay road series remaining (at Somerset Sept. 14-16). This could bode well for Lancaster. The team is 31-28 and has a collective ERA of 3.79 at the Clip and is 6-1 at York’s Sovereign Bank Stadium, where it plays the Revs next weekend.

The Barnstormers’ six-game winning streak ended Wednesday night, but they didn’t lose any ground to Newark in the wild-card standings. The Bears lost to York, 13-4. The Barnstormers are five back with 18 to play (plus the suspended game against Somerset that’s tied 2-2 in the seventh).
OF/1B Jason Cooper made his debut for the Barnstormers Wednesday. He doubled in a pinch-hitting appearance. P Reymond Cruz will be activated when Lancaster returns home to face Long Island Friday.

His highest level of advancement in affiliated ball is High-A Clearwater.

The Barnstormers’ four-game winning streak has provided a flicker of life as they head into a four-game series at Bridgeport. The Bluefish are one of three teams ahead of the Stormers for the two wild-card playoff spots that will likely be available.
A couple of other notes:
*P Nick Abel has left the team to resume his education. His spot in the bullpen was taken by Kane Davis Saturday.
*CBS-21 produced a nice story about C Jed Morris here.
*P Tom Cochran has been promoted by the Reds to Triple-A Louisville.

Much has changed since the last time the Barnstormers played the Revolution on July 19. Both teams have new managers — Tom Herr and Andy Etchebarren — but neither team has been able to push its way into the second-half race. Both are nine games back of first-place Somerset with time on the calendar running short.
How are the new managers faring? The Barnstormers are 12-18 since Herr took over for Von Hayes on July 24. The Revolution are 6-7 under Etchebarren, including their current three-game winning streak. Etch has already signed a contract to manage the club in 2010.
