Syracuse 8 Gwinnett 4
• Cole (W, 1-0) 6IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, 0BB, 5K, 2HR
• Delcarmen (S, 4) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Souza 3-4, R, 2RBI, 2SB (19, 20)
• Walters 3-5, 2B, RBI
• Kobernus 2-5, 2B, 2SB
Three first-inning doubles by the Gwinnett Braves off A.J. Cole led to an ominous 2-0 deficit for the Syracuse Chiefs. The Chiefs were undaunted, and tied it up with a one-out rally in the top of 3rd with a single by Emmanuel Burriss (red hot .531/.614/.813 over his last 9G), double by Jeff Kobernus, and RBI single by Steve Souza. After a Joey Terdoslavich homer off Cole in the top of the 4th briefly gave Gwinnett a 3-2 lead, Syracuse went ahead for good in the top of the 5th. This time the Chiefs strung together a Burriss HBP and singles by Kobernus, Tyler Moore, and Zach Walters to carve out three runs and take a 5-3 lead. Edward Salcedo’s homer leading off the top of the bottom of the 5th would be the closest that Gwinnett would get for the rest of the night as Syracuse won by the final score of 8-4 and Cole earned his first AAA win.
Harrisburg 2 Bowie 0
• McGregor 4IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Bates (W, 1-1) 3IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Benincasa (SV, 3) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K, HBP
• Taylor 2-3, R, 2B, BB
• Skole 2-4
The Harrisburg Senators pitching staff formed the Committee on Beating Bowie Badly last night. Scott McGregor, Colin Bates, Paul Demny, and Robert Benincasa combined to shut the BaySox out 2-0 on six hits and no walks. McGregor, a recent pickup from the AAA Memphis St. Louis affiliate, put aside his season-long struggles to hurl four shutout innings to lead the charge. Michael “Senate Majority Leader” Taylor continued his assault on the Eastern League by scoring the Sens first run in the 1st after singling to start off the offense for Harrisburg. An Adrian Sanchez RBI single to score Jason Martinson in the bottom of the 4th provided some helpful breathing room. About the only unhappy person in the ballpark might have been Ric Flair (if he was there). He only got to shout “WOOOOO!” seven times for strikeouts.
Roster moves: UT Jose Lozada reassigned from Syracuse; 2B Cutter Dykstra placed on the 7-Day DL; RHP Scott McGregor activated from the 7-Day DL.
Wilmington vs. Potomac — Postponed
Another twilight thunderstorm has washed out the P-Nats, shifting yesterday’s doubleheader to this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. With just one of four games played, another doubleheader is due next week when Wilmington returns for a three-game set. This is the third rainout between these two teams in a week.
Roster move: 2B Cody Dent reassigned from Hagerstown.
Lakewood 9 Hagerstown 7
• Mooneyham 3⅔ IP, 7H, 6R, 6ER, BB, 3K, HR
• Davis (L, 0-1) 2IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, K
• Ballou 3-4, RBI, HBP
• Ward 2-5, RBI
A six-run 3rd was not a big enough lead for the Suns pitchers hold and complete the three-game sweep. Instead, the BlueClaws roared back with seven runs in the middle innings and held off Hagerstown for a 9-7 win in the morning matinee. Brett Mooneyham got knocked from the box with two outs in the 4th as he gave up six runs on seven hits, including a two-run home run, with one walk and three strikeouts. The Suns rallied to tie it at 7-7 in the 6th but Cody Davis, who set the side down in order in the 6th, was dinged for two runs on three hits and two walks in the 7th. Every Suns batter had a hit, with Isaac Ballou leading the 12-hit effort with a 3-for-4 game, followed by Drew Ward at 2-for-5.
Roster move: OF Brian Langlois reassigned from Auburn.
Auburn 3 Connecticut 1
• Lopez (W, 2-2) 6IP, 3H, 0R, 3BB, 4K, WP
• Sanchez (SV, 3) 3IP, 3H, R, ER, 2BB, 0K
• Medina 2-3, R, 2B, CS
• Abreu 1-2, 2SAC
Auburn ace Reynaldo Lopez put the brakes on a three-game skid with six shutout innings in a 3-1 win over Connecticut in the Nutmeg State. The 20-y.o. Dominican lowered his ERA to 1.01 while walking three, letting up three hits, and striking out four to even his won-loss mark at 2-2. Mario Sanchez finished out the game for his third save, losing the shutout with a 9th-inning run and three hits total with two walks and no K’s. Willie Medina led the charge with a 2-for-3 night with a run scored as the Doubledays posted nine hits, including three doubles (Medina, Diomedes Eusebio, Raudy Read) and a triple for “Orange” Marmolejos-Diaz.
Roster move: OF John Wooten assigned from Hagerstown for minor-league rehab.
GCL Marlins 4 GCL Nationals 3 (5 inn.)P
• Vasquez 2⅓ IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, BB, K
• Reyes (L, 0-2) 2⅔ IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 2K, HR, 2-2 IR-S
• Lora 1-2, R, 2B, RBI
• G. Ramirez 1-2, R, 2SB
Rain shortened this one to just five innings, with the G-Marlins edging the G-Nats, 4-3 win with two runs in their last “ups.” Daury Vasquez started and went two and 1/3rd innings, giving up two hits and a walk. He left with two runners on, both of which reliever Luis Reyes let in, along with two of his own. Reyes gave four hits total, including a two-run homer that proved to be the gamewinner, over the final two and 2/3rds for his second loss. The G-Nats had five hits with Thomas Alvarez, Edwin Lora, and “Fred” Aguero each connecting for a double.
DSL Nationals 4 DSL Cardinals 1
• Fuentes (W, 1-2) 6IP, 5H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 7K
• Rosario (SV, 1) 3IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 5K
• Franco 2-4, R
• Jo. Ramirez 1-3, 2B, RBI, SB
The D-Nats duo of Steven Fuentes and Ramses Rosario combined to strike out 12 in a 4-1 win over the D-Cards. Fuentes got seven of them in his six frames, allowing five hits, no walks, and the lone, unearned run. Rosario was perfect over the final three innings and fanned five. It was the first win and save, respectively for both pitchers. Anderson Franco went 2-for-4 with a run scored to pace the D-Nats offense.
