Norfolk 3 Syracuse 2
• Lannan (L, 6-7) 6⅓ IP, 9H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 4K, HR
• Pena 1⅔ IP, 2H, 0R, BB, K, 1-1 IR-S
• Rivero 1-3, 2B, BB, CS
• Carroll 1-4, R, RBI, SB

Syracuse hung with Norfolk for seven innings, but with just four hits to the Tide’s eleven, the Chiefs were edged 3-2 on a sacrifice fly in the last of the 7th. John Lannan took the loss, giving up all three Norfolk runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four. Corey Brown’s 18-game hit streak was snapped with an 0-for-4 night (though he walked to keep the on-base streak going). Carlos Rivero, who saw his 18-gamer snapped the night before, went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk to pace the Syracuse offense.

Harrisburg 3 Erie 1
• Bibens-Dirkx (W, 1-0) 5IP, 4H, R, ER, 0BB, 5K
• Davis (H, 5) 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 3K
• Kobernus 3-4, R, SB
• Van Ostrand 2-4, R

A pair of runs early and stellar bullpen work were the key ingredients in a 3-1 win over Erie. Starter Austin Bibens-Dirkx made his longest appearance, giving up a run on four hits over five innings to get the win. Erik Davis led a trio of relievers that combined to throw four shutout innings of relief, with Davis and Henry “El Infarto” Rodriguez earning holds and Zech Zinicola notching his first save. Jeff Kobernus led the hit column with a 3-for-4 afternoon, stealing his league-leading 31st base. Roster move: C Sandy Leon was assigned to Harrisburg as an MLB rehab. Local media are reporting that Bibens-Dirkx will return to Syracuse. Demoted starter Robert Gilliam and swingman Ryan Tatusko are reportedly not taking his slot, leading to speculation that a starter from Potomac will be promoted, with Trevor Holder the most obvious candidate.

Carolina 8 Potomac 3
• Ray (L, 3-5) 5⅔ IP, 7H, 4R, 3ER, BB, 3K
• Barthmaier 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Kimball ⅔ IP, 2H, 3R, 0ER, 0BB, 1K
• Taylor 2-4, 2B, SB
• Fernandez 1-2, R, 2BB, RBI

Five Potomac errors, including two in the 8th that plated four unearned runs to turn a 4-3 deficit into an 8-3 blowout. Robbie Ray took the loss, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk, but avoided the first-inning bugaboo that had been the hallmark of his previous two outings. The P-Nats made the most of their five hits, scoring three runs but went just 1-for-11 with RISP. Michael Taylor led the way with a single, double, and a stolen base. Cole Kimball gave up two hits to the five batters he faced, but was in position to get out of the inning when Adrian Sanchez booted a one-out grounder to second with a runner on first.

Hagerstown 11 Lakewood 9
• Turnbull (W, 4-4) 5IP, 7H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, K, HR
• Barrett (SV, 12) ⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, K, 1-1 IR-S, 2WP
• Newsome 3-5, R, 2B, 3RBI
• Leonida 3-5, R, 2B, 2RBI
• Miller 2-4, 3R, 2B, HR, 3RBI

After taking a 9-1 lead after four and a half innings, Hagerstown nearly blew the eight-run cushion, surviving a three-run rally in the 9th to hold on for an 11-9 triumph. Kylin Turnbull evened his record at 4-4, giving up three runs on seven hits and four walks, striking out just one. The trio of Brett Newsome, Cole Leonida, and Justin Miller combined for eight hits and eight RBI. Aaron Barrett got the save (#12) while giving up a single and uncorking two wild pitches.

Jamestown 7 Auburn 1
• Baez (L, 1-1) ⅓ IP, 5H, 5R, 5ER, 0BB, 0K, 0HR
• Peters 2IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Poole 2-4, 2B
• S. Perez 1-4, SB

Gregory Baez was smacked around for five runs on five hits, getting just one of six batters faced out as Jamestown cruised to a 7-1 win over Auburn. The Doubledays were held to just four hits and stranded seven runners, hitting into four double plays. Jordan Poole had two of the four safeties, including a double. The Doubledays still remain in first, 1½ ahead of State College and Williamsport in the NYPL’s Pinckney division.

GCL Nationals — OFF DAY
The G-Nats are looking to break a seven-game skid this week, having fallen into the cellar of the GCL East, 3½ games behind the G-Cards.

DSL Nationals — OFF DAY
After a 3-3 week, the DSL Nationals are 15-10, tied for 2nd with the DSL Giants and three games behind the DSL Yankees1 squad.
