Syracuse — PPD
Rains from Hurricane Irene have postponed this one until today, when they’ll attempt to play a doubleheader at Lehigh Valley at 6:05 p.m.

Harrisburg — OFF DAY
The Senators play the next eight at home, riding a seven-game win streak and leading the E.L. West by 4½ games. A playoff berth is a near certainty, but their first-round opponent is not as Bowie and Richmond are separated by just 1½ games.

Potomac 3 Frederick 2 — GAME ONE
• Solis (W, 5-2) 5IP, 4H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 8K
• Nelo (S, 17) ⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
• Lozada 2-3, R, HR, RBI
• Kobernus 1-3, R, HR, 2RBI

Potomac scored all three runs via the longball and held off a late charge by the Keys for a 3-2 win in the first game. Jeff Kobernus hit a two-run shot in the 6th to go up 2-1 while Jose Lozada’s solo shot in the 7th extended the lead to 3-1. Joe Testa, Marcos Frias, and Hector Nelo each got two outs to nail down the win for Sammy Solis, who gave up an unearned run on four hits while striking out eight over the first five innings.

Frederick 4 Potomac 3
• E Davis (L, 0-4) 4⅔ IP, 4H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, 3K
• Selik 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Soriano 1-3, HR, RBI
• Kobernus 1-3, HR, RBI
• I Rodriguez, 1-3, HR, RBI

The big fly continued to power the Potomac offense in the nightcap, but three solo shots weren’t enough as Frederick got the 4-3 win to split the doubleheader and prevent a series sweep. Erik Davis lost for the fourth time in five starts, allowing all four Keys runs on four hits and three walks. Francisco Soriano, Jeff Kobernus, and rehabbing Ivan Rodriguez all went 1-for-3 with a solo HR in the loss, which puts Potomac 3½ back in the C.L. North with seven games left to play.

Asheville 15 Hagerstown 5
• Grace (L, 12-7) 4IP, 14H, 11R, 11ER, BB, 2K, HR
• Brown 1IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 3K
• Kelso 2-5, 2B
• W Moore 1-3, R, BB, SB

Asheville tired slightly from Saturday night, scoring just 15 runs against Hagerstown on Sunday afternoon to take their third straight from the Suns, 15-5. Matt Grace got 12 outs and gave up 11 runs on 14 hits and a walk for his seventh loss of the year. Blake Kelso led the Suns offense with a 2-for-5 game, as Hagerstown took advantage of the six walks they drew to score five runs on six hits. The loss (fifth straight) drops the Suns to .500 at 31-31, 5½ games behind and reduces their elimination number to just two.

Auburn — PPD
It was either the rain or the underpants gnomes that convinced team officials to postpone Sunday’s series finale to this Friday, when Auburn and Batavia will play a pair of seven-inning games in the final regular-season home game for the Doubledays.
