• 2-for-11 RISP, 12 LOB

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The Chiefs starter does well, the offense doesn’t hit well in the clutch, and the bullpen loses it. Check, check, check for a 3-2 loss to the IronPigs on Friday night. Austin Voth spun a quality start of two runs on five hits and four walks with four whiffs over six. After a scoreless inning apiece from Dustin Antolin, Trevor Gott, and Joe Nathan, Mike Broadway lost the game in the top of the 10th with a run on two hits. Pedro Severino and Corban Joseph both go 2-for-5 to lead Syracuse’s ten-hit parade. Roster move: RHP Gabriel Arias reassigned from Harrisburg

Richmond 10 Harrisburg 7
• Williams (L, 1-5) 3IP, 10H, 7R, 4ER, 0BB, 5K, 0HR, HBP
• Orlan ⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 1-0 IR-S
• Marmolejos 3-5, 2R, 2B, RBI
• N. Soto 2-4, 2R, 2B, BB, RBI
• Ward 2-5, 2B, 2RBI

The Flying Squirrels built a 7-0 lead early and held off a late charge by the Senators to take the series opener, 10-7. Austen Williams was strafed for ten hits and gave up the aforementioned seven runs (four earned) over three innings. He walked none and struck out five but lost his fifth game. Jose “Orange” Marmolejos and Neftali Soto both reached base three times with a walk and an RBI to pace the Harrisburg comeback effort. Roster move: LHP Braulio Lara placed on the 3-day TIL; RHP Kyle Schepel reassigned from Potomac.

Lynchburg 11 Potomac 7
• Estevez (L, 2-3) 5IP, 9H, 7R, 7ER, 4BB, 3K, HR

• Robles 4-5, 3B, HR, 3RBI
• Gutierrez 2-4, 2R, 2B, RBI
• Davidson 2-5, R, 3B

SSDL in Lynchburg as Potomac scored all seven runs in its final four “ups,” but fell short 11-7. Wirkin “For the Weekend” made it through five but let in seven on nine hits and four walks while striking out three for his third loss. Victor Robles celebrated his 20th birthday with a 4-for-5 night includeing a triple, a homer, and three RBI to lead the P-Nats attack.

Hagerstown 4 Lakewood 3
• Sharp (W, 2-2) 6IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 3K, HR
• Fuentes (H, 2) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Noll 1-2, R, BB, RBI
• Franco 1-3, R, HR, 2RBI

The Suns made the Blue Claws pay for an error and a hit batsman in a four-run 1st that stood up for a 4-3 win. Sterling Sharp was dinged for three runs in the first two innings but made it through six to get the win. Steven Fuentes (2IP) and Tommy Peterson (1IP) combined for three scoreless innings for the hold and the save, respectively. Anderson Franco’s two-run HR capped off the Hagerstown rally while Jake Noll was the sole Suns batter to reach base twice.
