Louisville 4 Syracuse 3
• Atkins (L, 4-4) 5IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER, BB, 6K, HR
• Pena 2IP, 1H, 0R, BB, 0K
• Paul 3-4, RBI
• Johnson 2-5, R

All seven runs came in the first three innings as the Bats ‘pen outdueled the Chiefs for a 4-3 win. Mitch Atkins went five innings but gave up all four runs in the first two innings, including a solo HR in the 2nd that proved to be the game-winner. Xavier Paul led the offense with a 3-for-4 game as Syracuse outhit Louisville 9-8 but left seven runners on.

Reading 8 Harrisburg 0
• Rosenbaum (L, 6-1) 6IP, 12H, 6R, 6ER, BB, 2K, HR
• Davis 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
• King 2-3, 2B
• Valdez 2-4

Danny Rosenbaum got taken to the woodshed by Reading for his first loss of the season as Harrisburg was shut out, 8-0. Rosenbaum gave up six runs on 12 hits and a walk while striking out just two, his second straight start of three-plus runs allowed after a streak of six starts with none or one run allowed. Stephen King and Jesus Valdez combined for four of the seven hits the Senators could muster against Reading’s David Buchanan, who went the distance.

Myrtle Beach 3 Potomac 2
• Ray (L, 1-2) 6⅔ IP, 6H, 3R, 2ER, 2BB, 2K
• Holland 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Ramirez 2-3, R, 2B
• Sanchez 2-3, 3B, RBI

Robbie Ray turned in decent start, but it wasn’t enough Last Night In Woodbridge.

Hagerstown 9 Greensboro 7
• Meyer (W, 3-3) 5IP, 5H, R, ER, 2BB, 3K
• Bates (H, 1) 3IP, H, 0R, BB, 3K
• Lucas ⅓ IP, 3H, 6R, 4ER, 2BB, 0K, HR(GS)
• Burns 2-5, R, 3RBI
• Martinson 2-5, 2R, 2B, 2RBI

A six-run 3rd by Hagerstown seemed like enough to coast to a win, but a six-run 9th by Greensboro proved otherwise as the Suns survived, 9-7. Bobby Lucas retired just one of the seven batters he faced, giving up a grand slam after a pair of walks and a single and getting chased after an error (his) and a double. Aaron Barrett struck out two but let in two while putting out the fire and earning his sixth save. Starter Alex Meyer evened his record at 3-3 with a run on five hits and two walks over five innings. Billy Burns and Jason Martinson both went 2-for-5 to lead the Suns 11-hit offense.

6 Commments

  1. Corey Brown and Jhonatan Solano are both with the Nats in DC now. I guess there is nobody left for us to agitate about for a promotion. That is, I guess, unless Tyler Moore starts launching home runs again.

    +1/2St.

    1. Up to DC, probably not. But I think some folks would like to see a some different pitchers in Potomac.

  2. Time to move someone up to Syracuse to fill Brown’s starting outfield spot.

  3. You seem to have gotten the final score mixed up in the Harrisburg game. I was wondering how Rosenbaum managed to give up 6 runs in a shutout!
