All five teams in the New York Yankees organization were in action on Friday and it was a successful night for the most part. The teams combined for a 4-1 record with Scranton Wilkes-Barre having the only loss. In the four wins, the offenses combined for 29 runs. While a Yankee second baseman continued his power streak, an outfielder in Trenton had a great night at the plate out in Erie. Check out some of the other key performances from the night below:
