For the third time in four Aprils, the Syracuse Chiefs have racked up four postponements. The odds of a fifth look pretty good.
Roster moves: IF Josh Johnson activated from 7-Day DL, IF Sean Nicol reassigned to Harrisburg.
Harrisburg 4 Altoona 3 (10 inn.)
• Schwartz 5IP, 4H, R, ER, BB, 7K
• Herron (W, 1-0) 2IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Taylor 3-5, R, 2B, RBI, CS
• Skole 2-5, 2B, 3RBI
Matt Skole’s two-run double in the 8th tied it and RBI single in the 10th won it as the Harrisburg Senators took back-to-back games for the first time this season. Tyler Herron got the win in relief with two goose eggs in the 9th and 10th innings. Starter Blake Schwartz shook off a first-inning run (the 21st allowed in 11 games by Harrisburg pitchers) to toss four scoreless and allow just four hits and one walk while striking out seven. Michael Taylor led the 13-hit Senator offense with a 3-for-5 night. Injury update: H/T again to Mick Reinhard of Mayflies & Big Flies who’s reporting that Drew Vettleson has a broken bone (not the hamate) in his left hand.

John Simms turned in four and 2/3rds of strong relief to keep the Suns within striking distance but the Shorebirds scored three against L.J. Hollins in the 8th to put the game away. Wilmer Difo walked, singled, doubled, and stole his eighth base to lead the Suns nine-hit, five-walk attack.
