Chamberlain's time and Jeter gets plunked

Top of 3rd: USF 0-Yankees 5. Yankees score four in the second.
Joba Chamberlain finished his day's work today after facing six USF batters and retiring them in order after two innings, striking out two and throwing 22 pitches, 15 of them for strikes.
USF hitters were aggressive and tried to put the ball in play by going after favorable counts.
Highlight of the day so far: Jeter gets hit in the back with a hard fastball by USF pitcher Shawn Sanford in the first inning. Legends Field and half of New York held their breath for a second and Sanford was ready to run to safety at a nearby retirement community.

Jeter: 1-1. Run,RBI
Rodriguez: 1-2. 3 RBI.
