Syracuse 5 Lehigh Valley 4 (13 inn.)
• Billings 6IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 3K, 2WP
• Walters (W, 5-3) 4IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 8K, WP
• Gwynn 4-6, 2R, 2B
• Lisson 3-6, R, HR, 2RBI
• Johnson 2-5, CS

Jason Martinson’s solo HR in the top of the 13th gave the Chiefs a 5-4 win in 13 innings and prevent a three-game sweep by the Iron Pigs. Bruce Billings turned in a quality start of two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings and left with a 4-2 lead. P.J. Walters struck out eight in four scoreless innings of relief to earn the win, his fifth for Syracuse. Tony Gwynn Jr. led the hit column with a 4-for-6 afternoon, followed by Mario Lisson at 3-for-6 and Josh Johnson at 2-for-5.

Bowie 10 Harrisburg 3
• Purke (L, 0-1) 3⅓ IP, 10H, 9R, 6ER, BB, 4K, HR
• Bacus 3⅔ IP, 3H, R, ER, 0BB, 5K, HR
• Goodwin 2-3, R, HR, 2RBI
• Lozada 1-4, RBI

The BaySox fileted the Senators for a 10-3 win on Sunday and a 3-1 series win. Matt Purke’s return to AA in ’15 was not unlike his departure in ’14 as Bowie lit him up for nine runs on 10 hits over three and a 1/3rd innings. Dakota Bacus, Nick Lee, and Colin Bates combined for five and 2/3rds innings of one-run relief, but the Senators offense was filibustered for one hit over the last eight innings after a three-run 1st that featured a two-run HR by Brian Goodwin and an RBI single by Jose Lozada.

Potomac 3 Salem 0
• Dickson (W, 1-0) 5⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 3BB, 5K
• Orlan (H, 1) 2⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 4K, 1-0 IR-S
• Wooten 2-3, 2B, BB
• Bautista 2-5, 2RBI

Rafael Bautista’s two-run single capped off a three-run 2nd that the P-Nats rode to a 3-0 triumph over the Red Sox. Three pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout, with starter Ian Dickson going the first five and 1/3rd innings for the win, R.C. Orlan following with two and 2/3rds innings for the hold, and Brian closing out the 9th for the save. John Wooten singled, doubled, and walked to reach base three times while Bautista, Drew Ward, and Grant DeBruin each singled twice on the night.
Roster moves: LHP Matthew Spann demoted from Harrisburg; RHP Brian Rauh promoted from Hagerstown.

Hagerstown 8 West Virginia 4
• Reyes (W, 5-6) 5+ IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, 0BB, 2K, HBP
• Cooper (H, 4) 2IP, 2H, 0R, BB, K, 1-1 IR-S
• Masters 2-3, R
• Marmolejos-Diaz 1-4, R, HR, 2RBI
• Read 1-4, R, HR, 2RBI

Hagerstown broke out for six runs in the bottom of the 5th to take a 6-1 lead and held on for an 8-4 victory over West Virginia. Luis Reyes got the win, but was charged with all four Power runs on six hits over five-plus innings. “Orange” Marmolejos-Diaz and Raudy Read both smacked two-run homers while David Masters went 2-for-3 with a run scored to pace the Suns offense.

Lowell 6 Auburn 5
• Hearn 4⅔ IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 7K, HR, WP

• Sagdal 2-4, R, 2B, RBI
• Encarnacion 1-3, R, HR, 2RBI, BB

Lowell rallied from a 4-0 deficit to score six times in the middle innings and edge Auburn, 6-5. Taylor Hearn hit the wall in the 5th, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over four and 2/3rds innings. The loss went to Ryan Brinley on an unearned run in the 8th as two-out double was followed by a two-out error to send in the gamewinner. Kelvin Gutierrez singled twice and doubled once in four trips to the place to lead the Doubledays’ attack.
