Syracuse 2 Lehigh Valley 1 (12 inn.)
• Brady 7IP, 4H, R, ER, 0BB, 8K, HR
• Grace 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Davis (W, 7-4) 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• den Dekker 2-4, BB
• Ramsey 2-5, R, 2B

Syracuse tied it in the 8th and walked off in the 12th for 2-1 victory over Lehigh Valley. Michael Brady made his I.L. debut with one run let in on four hits and no walks while striking out eight over seven innings. The win went to Erik Davis who rebounded from retiring nobody on Wednesday to striking out the side in the 12th. Matt den Dekker walked once and singled twice while Caleb Ramsey singled, doubled, and scored a run to pace the Chiefs seven-hit, seven-walk offense, which was 2-for-14 with RISP and left on 13 baserunners. Roster moves: RHP A.J. Cole recalled from Washington; OF Brian Goodwin optioned from Washington; RHP Michael Brady reassigned from Harrisburg; RHP Mitch Lively assigned from Washington.

Erie 8 Harrisburg 7
• Simms (L, 7-5) 4⅔ IP, 6H, 5R, 2ER, 0BB, 4K, HR
• Bautista 2-4, R, BB, HR, RBI, SB, OF assist at 2B
• Marmolejos 2-5, R
• Kieboom 2-3, R, BB, HR, 3RBI

The Seawolves completed the three-game sweep with an 8-7 triumph over the Senators. John Simms stepped in for Mike Brady and tossed four scoreless before the running aground in the 5th as Erie put up a five spot. He lost for the fifth time with five runs allowed on six hits and no walks while fanning four over four and 2/3rds innings. Harrisburg rallied for three late but couldn’t push across the equalizer, leaving the tying runner on at third in the 8th, and at second in the 9th. Rafael Bautista walked, singled, homered, scored a run, stole a base, threw out a runner at second, took out the trash, walked the dog, called his mother to lead the Sens’ attack while Jose “Orange” Marmolejos pushed his modest hit streak to five games with another two singles.

Wilmington 3 Potomac 2
• Williams (L, 4-4) 5+ IP, 7H, 3R, 2ER, 4BB, 1K, BK
• Mendez 3IP, 2H, 0R, BB, 2K, 2-1 IR-S
• Schrock 1-3, 2R, BB
• Read 1-3, BB

Wilmington sent Potomac packing with its fifth straight loss by a 3-2 count. Austen Williams took the loss with all three Blue Rocks runs charged to him on seven hits and four walks over five-plus innings. Max “For Those About To” Schrock scored both P-Nats runs while taking a walk and singling, as did Raudy Read. But the rest of the lineup went 3-for-28 with two walks and stranded nine baserunners, including the tying run and the go-ahead run in the 9th.

Hagerstown 4 Rome 2 – GAME ONE
• Baez 4⅓ IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 4
• Peterson (W, 4-1) 2⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, HBP
• Lora 2-3, 2R, 2B, SB
• Sagdal 2-3, R, 2B
• Encarnacion 2-3, 2B, CS

Hagerstown scored twice in the 7th to take the opener from Rome, 4-2. Tommy Peterson was the winner in relief, stranding an inherited runner in the 5th as he retired eight of nine batters faced down the stretch. Joan Baez started and gave up both Braves runs on six hits and two walks over four and a 1/3rd innings. Edwin Lora, Ian Sagdal, and Randy Encarnacion each went 2-for-3 with a double as the Suns collected 11 hits total.

Rome 6 Hagerstown 2 – GAME TWO
• Bourque (L, 4-6) 4⅔ IP, 8H, 5R, 4ER, 3BB, 5K, 2WP, HBP
• Encarnacion 1-3, R, BB
• Sagdal 2-4, RBI

In the nightcap, the Braves scored in every inning but the 1st as they eclipsed the Suns, 6-2 and split the doubleheader. James Bourque took the loss and the brunt of the beating with five runs allowed on eight hit and three walks over four and 2/3rds innings. Randy Encarnacion singled, walked, and scored once while Ian Sagdal singled twice and drove in a run to highlight the Hagerstown offense.

Hudson Valley 7 Auburn 2
• Ramirez 5IP, 8H, R, ER, BB, 3K
• Harmening (L, 0-1) 1IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 2K
• Martinez 4-4, 2R, 2B, HR, RBI
• Banks 1-3

It was a bad Happy Hour in Hudson Valley – lots of singles (23), lots of strikeouts (19) – as the Renegades splashed a drink in the face of Auburn, 7-2. Yonathan Ramirez did his part at the start with five innings of one-run ball as he scattered eight hits and a walk and struck out three, but left with the game tied, 1-1. Russell Harmening was the losing pitcher with two runs allowed on four hits in the 6th, as the Doubledays ‘pen was lit up for six runs in the final three frames. Andres Martinez homered in the 9th to fall a triple shy of the cycle as he went 4-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and two runs scored to pace the Doubledays offense.
