Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 8 Syracuse 0
• Demny (L, 0-1) 5IP, 9H, 7R, 6ER, BB, 6K, HR, HBP, WP
• Broadway 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
• Perez 2-4, 2B
• Rahl 1-4, 2B, OF assist at 1B

The RailRiders spoiled Paul Demny’s AAA debut, lighting up the 23-y.o. for seven runs en route to an 8-0 shutout of the Chiefs. Demny pitched five inning, walked one and allowed nine hits, including a two-run HR in the four-run 2nd. Three relievers followed for an inning apiece but it was largely moot as the Syracuse offense was held to just five hits. Eury Perez and Chris Rahl accounted for three of them including both extra-base hits registered for the Chiefs. RHP Paul Demny assigned to Syracuse.

Harrisburg 6 Bowie 0
• Garcia 2IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 4K
• Treinen (W, 5-5) 6⅔ IP, 6H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Goodwin 2-4, 2R, 2B
• Hood 2-4, 2B, RBI
• Leon 1-3, R, BB, RBI

Three Senators pitchers combined on a shutout as Harrisburg blanked Bowie, 6-0. Christian Garcia put in his rehab work early, pitching the first and second innings with two walks and hit allowed and four strikeouts. Blake Treinen nearly completed the game, going six and 2/3rds innings with six hits and a walk given up, but Aaron Barrett was summoned from the ‘pen to get the final out. Brian Goodwin and Destin Hood each went 2-for-4 with a double to pace the Senators offense.

Potomac 5 Myrtle Beach 0
• Ray (W, 4-2) 6⅔ IP, 4H, 0R, BB, 7K
• Mirowski (H, 2) 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K, 1-0 IR-S
• Burns 2-4, BB, RBI, SB
• Oduber 2-4, R, RBI
• Soriano 2-4, R, RBI

The P-Nats rolled to their eighth straight win as three pitchers combined to shut out the Pelicans, 5-0. Robbie Ray allowed all four of Myrtle Beach’s hits but walked just one and struck out seven over six and 2/3rds while earning his fourth win. Richie Mirowski stranded a runner in the 7th and pitched a scoreless 8th while Derek Self matched the feat in the 9th. Potomac rapped out 11 hits, with Billy Burns, Randolph Oduber, and Francisco Soriano each going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Frederick won to keep pace with Potomac, two games behind, but the magic number to clinch was reduced to 11.

Kannapolis 6 Hagerstown 2 — GAME ONE
• Anderson (L, 4-3) 6⅔ IP, 8H, 6R, 4ER, BB, 3K
• Hudgins ⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 2-2 IR-S
• Piwinica-Worms 1-3
• Foat 1-3

Hagerstown couldn’t keep Kannapolis off the board for consecutive innings and lost the opener, 6-2. Dixon Anderson nearly went the distance, pitching six and 2/3rds innings with all six Intimidators runs charged to him on eight hits and a walk, but suffered the loss. Five Suns went 1-for-3 (all singles) but nobody reached base twice against 18-year-old Jefferson Olacio, who got the complete-game win for Kannapolis.

Kannapolis 11 Hagerstown 0 — GAME TWO
• Mooneyham (L, 1-1) 2IP, 1H, 3R, 3ER, 4BB, 4K
• Norfork 0-1, 2BB

Three Intimidators combined on a seven-inning no-hitter as Kannapolis swept the doubleheader from Hagerstown with an 11-0 shutout in the nightcap. Brett Mooneyham’s return from the DL was a short stint of just two innings, as the 23-y.o. was lapped for three runs on a hit and four walks, though he did strike out four. Khayyan Norfork was the sole Sun to reach base twice, as he went 0-for-1 with two walks. The losses paired with a win by Hickory dropped Hagerstown into second place (percentage points ahead of West Virginia) by a ½ game. The Suns host the Crawdads next week for four games at the Muni, including a doubleheader on Tuesday.

DSL Nationals 4 DSL Pirates2 3
• Torres 4IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 6K
• Aquino (BS, 1; W, 1-0) 2IP, 3H, R, ER, 2BB, 2K
• Gutierrez 2-4, 2R, 2-2B
• Cerda 1-3, BB, RBI

After losing a 3-2 lead in the 8th, the D-Nats answered the D-Pirates2 run with their one of their own for a 4-3 win. Jonathan Aquino got the dreaded blown-save-win, giving up the lead in the 8th but pitching a scoreless 9th. 19-y.o. Luis Torres got the start and gave up two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six. Kelvin Gutierrez continues to dominate, doubling twice and scoring twice.
