Indianapolis 3 Syracuse 1
• Laffey 5IP, 4H, R, ER, 4BB, 6K
• Masset (L, 0-2) ⅔ IP, 2H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 0K
• Ramsey 1-3, 2B, BB
• Campana 1-3, R, BB
Indianapolis won the battle of the bullpens, scoring two runs late to break a 1-1 deadlock and beat Syracuse, 3-1. Chiefs starter Aaron Laffey put on eight baserunners (four hits, four walks) but let in just one over five innings. He struck out six. Nick Masset was touched for two runs on two hits in the 8th and took the loss. The Syracuse starting position players were held to just four hits and five walks, with Laffey and PH Isaac Ballou rounding out the total of six hits.
Harrisburg 2 Richmond 1 (12 inn.)
• Long 7IP, 7H, 0R, BB, 4K
• Suero 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Self (W, 1-0) 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, K
• Perez 2-4, R, 2BB, 2K
• Collier 2-5, R, BB
Pro tip: When issuing an intentional walk, it’s best to throw to the catcher, not past the catcher. A wild pitch during an IBB plated the second and decisive run in the top of the 12th as Harrisburg edged Richmond, 2-1 to sweep the three-game series. Jaron Long got the start and turned in seven scoreless innings, with seven hits and a walk allowed and four strikeouts. Cutter Dykstra delivered another key pinch hit, this one an RBI single in the 9th to tie the game at 1-1. Derek Self was the winning pitcher, tossing two scoreless innings in the 11th and 12th. Stephen Perez singled twice and walked twice to lead the Sens 11-hit parade.
Potomac 9 Carolina 5 (10 inn.)
• Whiting 6IP, 7H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 3K, 2HR
• Brinley (BS, 1; W, 2-0) 2IP, 3H, R, ER, 0BB, 3K
• Marmolejos 2-4, 3R, BB, 2HR, 3RBI
• Reistetter 2-4, 2R, 2HR, 2RBI
• Keller 2-3, BB, 2RBI
Jose “Orange” Marmolejos and Matt Reistetter both homered in the 10th and twice overall as the P-Nats scored four in the 10th for a 9-5 win over the Mudcats. The outburst took the edge off Ryan Brinley blowing the save in the 9th and gave the Potomac reliever his second win. Boone Whiting started and turned in six innings of three-run ball, with a walk and seven hits allowed (two HR). Marmolejos and Reistetter both went 2-for-4 and combined for five runs scored and five RBI as the P-Nats maximized their offensive chances with nine runs scored on ten hits and three walks and left just two runners on base.
Hagerstown – OFF DAY
Second-place Hagerstown returns home after a 3-4 road trip, having fallen a game and a half behind first-place Hickory, which went 5-2 over the same stretch. It’ll be scoreboard watching for the division title for the next five and a half weeks as the two teams will not meet again in the first half.
