• Bostick 1-3, R, BB

Harrisburg committed a week’s worth an errors in one game and lost again, 5-1 to Akron. Austen Williams lost for the fifth time, letting in four unearned runs on eight hits, a walk, and a hit batsman over six innings. Gilberto Mendez finished with a one run allowed on a home run. The Sens offense was mostly in recess, collecting just four hits and five walks with Rafael Bautista and Christopher Bostick both reaching base twice.

Potomac 13 Winston-Salem 6
• Fedde (W, 2-3) 5IP, 7H, 5R, 5ER, BB, 2K, HR

• Keller 2-4, 2R, 2B, 2BB, 3RBI
• Norfork 2-4, R, 2BB, 3RBI

Potomac broke a three-game losing streak while missing an extra point in a 13-6 win over Winston-Salem. Erick Fedde got the Jack Morris win with five runs given up on seven hits and a walk over five innings while striking out two. Mario Sanchez closed out the game for the four-inning save, walking three and giving up four hits but only allowing one run. Drew Ward reached base six times with a single, two doubles, and three walks, followed by Alec Keller and Khayyan Norfork who both reach based four times and drove in three runs as the P-Nats assaulted Dash pitchers for 16 hits and took 12 walks.

Hagerstown 6 Kannapolis 5
• DeRosier 4⅓ IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, 4BB, 4K, HBP
• Torres (W, 2-1) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Schrock 2-5, 2R, 2B, HR, RBI
• Gutierrez 2-5, R, 2B, SB
• Wiseman 1-3, 2B, 2RBI, OF assist at HP

Matt Page’s RBI single in the 9th completed a comeback from a 5-2 deficit as the Suns walked off for a 6-5 win over the Intimidators. Matt DeRosier got the start but was ineffective, walking four and giving up four runs on six hits over four and a 1/3rd innings. The win went to Luis Torres for two perfect innings of relief in the 8th and 9th innings. Max “For Those About To” Schrock doubled, homered, and scored twice to lead the Hagerstown offense, which scored six times on just seven hits with a little help from six walks, a balk, and a Kannapolis error.

10 Commments

  1. Special shout out to Bryan Mejia for doubling his season’s walk total last night!

  2. Wow, Harrisburg gave up EIGHT unearned runs over two games. Tighten it up, guys!

    Robles still MIA. Anyone have any news on him?

    Fedde gets his second win, but his ERA is at 6.62 and WHIP at 1.44. After an impressive run of Ks earlier in the season, those have petered out. It’s not panic time yet, but any enthusiasm has to be tempered. He’ll be in Woodbridge for the foreseeable future.

    1. Can anyone say, “Ross Detwiler?” Because Fedde’s stats are not even as good as the last former 1st rounder who stalled in Woodbridge for an entire year.

      1. Chelsea Janes didn’t mention an injury to Robles in her minor-league roundup posted this afternoon, so it’s nothing that has come to the attention of the DC beat reporters.

  3. Also, it’s great to see Ward rebound from his golden sombrero 2 days ago with a 6 for 6 on base night last night.

  4. Great to see all that offense from the Potomac and Hagerstown lineups. Too bad some of these hitters aren’t closer to MLB ready because the Nats could sure use a bat or three.

    On a odd note, my wife was having dinner with one of her equestrian friends at the Old Brougue in Great Falls last night and noticed Ryan Zimmerman and family sitting at a nearby table. She and her friend talked with them for about ten minutes and they couldn’t have been nicer. The wife even got her picture taken with him. Very cool. 🙂
