Rochester 8 Syracuse 2
• Hill (L, 0-2) 6⅔ IP, 7H, 5R, 5ER, 2BB, 6K, HR
• Solano 2-4, 2B, RBI
• Lozada 2-4, OF assist at HP

Syracuse’s win streak was halted with an 8-2 defeat by Rochester. Starter and losing pitcher Taylor Hill gave up two in the 1st and one in the 2nd and then settled in for four scoreless before the RedWings got to him in the 7th. He finished with five runs allowed on seven hits (another HR) and two walks while striking out six. Veterans Jhonatan Solano and Jose Lozada both went 2-for-4 to lead the Syracuse offense, which totaled 10 hits and one (1) walk.

Hartford 9 Harrisburg 3
• Giolito (L, 0-2) 3IP, 5H, 6R, 6ER, 4BB, 4K, HBP
• Self 3IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 3K,
• Soto 1-4, R, HR, 2RBI
• Dykstra 1-3, BB

The Yard Goats struck for three runs three times as they railroaded the Senators, 9-3. Lucas Giolito took the loss, charged with six runs on five hits and four walks over three innings (73 pitches, 39 strikes). Gilberto Mendez was nearly as ineffective (3R, 3IP) before Derek Self tossed three scoreless. Self’s efforts were essentially for naught as the Harrisburg offense was held to a meager three hits, including a two-run homer by Neftali Soto, a triple by Zach Collier, and a single by Cutter Dykstra, who also drew the one and only walk.

Lynchburg 12 Potomac 5 – COMP.
• VanVossen (L, 1-1) ⅓ IP, 5H, 6R, 6ER, BB, 0K, HR(GS)
• Johansen 1⅔ IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 3K, 1-1 IR-S
• Carey 1-3, 2R, 2BB, SB
• Ward 3-5, 2R, HR, RBI

Lynchburg was saved by the rain on Monday and didn’t exactly face Spahn or Sain in the completion on Wednesday. The Hillcats pounded P-Nats relievers for 10 runs to turn a 4-2 deficit into a 12-5 demolition. Mick VanVossen took the brunt of the beating with six runs let in, the last four on a grand slam, as he retired just one of seven batters faced. Drew Ward connected for his sixth homer and led the Potomac hit column with a 3-for-5 night.

Lynchburg 8 Potomac 3 – GAME TWO
• Fedde (L, 1-3) ⅔ IP, 7H, 6R, 6ER, 0BB, 1K, 0HR, HBP
• Spann 3⅓ IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 3K, 2-0 IR-S
• Stevenson 3-4, R, 2B, RBI
• Read 1-3, BB, RBI, 2PB, PO at 3B

SSDG in the 1st inning as Lynchburg made confetti out of Erick Fedde for six runs on seven hits en route to an 8-3 win and the de facto doubleheader sweep of Potomac. The P-Nats starter was lifted after 35 pitches (23 for strikes) as he retired just two of the 10 batters he faced, walking none and fanning one. Veteran Matt Spann stranded two runners as he finished the first and went three more innings in relief. The P-Nats scored single runs in the 1st, 4th, and 6th, on an RBI singles by Raudy Read and Andrew Stevenson and a solo HR by David Masters, respectively.Yesterday morning, the two teams announced they would forego the tripleheader in favor of making up the third game next Monday, which had been an off day for both teams.

Kannapolis 7 Hagerstown 4
• DeRosier 3⅔ IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER, 0BB, 2K, HBP
• Bach (L, 0-1) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 1K, 1-0 IR-S
• Ripken 2-3, BB, RBI
• Schrock 2-4, R, SB

The Suns jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a pair of two-run rallies in the 1st and 4th but then, um, ran out of gas as the Intimidators scored seven unanswered runs to win 7-4. Matt DeRosier started and was charged with the first four runs on seven hits over three and 2/3rds. He walked none and struck out two. Connor Bach took the loss with two runs given up over an inning and a 1/3rd one one hit and three walks. Ryan Ripken reached base three times on a pair of singles and a walk to pace the Hagerstown offense, which collected nine hits, but none by the lower third of the lineup.
