Charlotte 5 Syracuse 3
• Voth 6IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 6K, HR
• Martin (BS, 2; L, 1-2) ⅓ IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 0K, 2HR
• Goodwin 2-4, R, HR, 2RBI, SB
• Skole 0-2, R, 2BB

Syracuse overcame an early 2-0 deficit with two in the 7th and one in the 8th to take a 3-2 lead. With the bases empty and two outs, Rafael Martin retired just one of five batters faced to serve up three runs and a 5-3 win for Charlotte. Austin Voth turned in a quality start with two runs allowed on five hits and three walks over six innings for the no-decision. Brian Goodwin homered again and drove in the would-be gamewinner in the 8th to lead the Chiefs offense, which made the most of just five hits and four walks.

Harrisburg 6 New Hampshire 3
• Long (W, 3-2) 7IP, 5H, 3R, 2ER, 0BB, 8K, HR, HBP
• Lee (H, 3) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Soto 2-3, 2R, 2B, BB, RBI
• Bostick 2-4, R
• Difo 0-4, R, SB(20), E(11)

A three-run 6th turned a one-run deficit into a two-run lead as the Sens eventually doubled up the Fisher Cats, 6-3. Jaron Long went seven strong innings, giving up all three New Hampshire runs (two earned) on five hits (one HR) with no walks and eight whiffs. Nick Lee and Bryan Harper both turned in a scoreless inning to earn the hold and save respectively. Neftali Soto singled, doubled, walked, scored twice, and drove in a run while Christopher Bostick singled twice in four trips to the plate to lead the Harrisburg attack. Roster move: RHP Michael Brady reassigned from Syracuse.

Potomac 6 Frederick 1
• Valdez (W, 6-2) 7IP, 4H, R, ER, 2BB, 4K
• Benincasa 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Stevenson 3-5, R, 2B, 2RBI
• Keller 2-4, R, 2B, 2RBI, OF assist at 2B
• Norfork 0-2, R, 2BB

Andrew Stevenson celebrated his 22nd birthday with 3-for-5 night while Phillips Valdez cakewalked for seven innings as Potomac frosted Frederick, 6-1. Valdez gave up the lone Keys run on four hits and two walks while fanning four as he won his sixth game. Robert Benincasa finished up with two scoreless innings. Stevenson singled twice, doubled once while Alec Keller singled and doubled as the two OFs both scored a run and drove in to lead the P-Nats offense. Roster moves: RHP Gilberto Mendez reassigned from Harrisburg; LHP Matt Crownover promoted from Hagerstown; RHP Erick Fedde placed on the 7-Day DL; RHP Boone Whiting placed on the 3-Day TIL.

Hagerstown 9 Asheville 7
• DeRosier 5IP, 5H, 5R, 5ER, BB, 3K
• Pantoja (W, 6-0) 2IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 2K
• Davidson 3-4, 3R, 2-2B, HR, 2BB, RBI
• Schrock 2-4, 2R, 2B, HR, 2RBI
• Dent 1-3, 2B, RBI

Max Schrock’s two-out, two-run walkoff homer sent the Tourists packing for a 9-7 Suns victory and three-game sweep. Matt DeRosier got the start but was ineffective as Asheville stung him for five runs on five hits and a walk over the first five innings. Schrock’s heroics made a winner out of Jorge Pantoja, who gave up an unearned run in the 8th but pitched a scoreless 9th. Austin Davidson reached base five times with a homer, two walks, and two doubles, and drove in the tying run in the 9th to pace Hagerstown’s ten-hit, two-walk offense. Roster move: LHP Grant Borne reassigned from Auburn. FYI: Victor Robles left (or was removed from) the game after grounding out to third in the 3rd.
