The Grizzlies avoided a sweep with a pair of HRs in the 7th as they took down the River Cats, 3-1. Wil Crowe will catch the attention of the MASN and WaPo commenters with six innings of one-run ball on six hits and two walks while striking out five. The decision went to George Kontos, who put up a goose egg in the 7th for the win, as did Ronald Peña in the 8th for the hold, and James Bourque in the 9th for the save.

Harrisburg had just two runners reach second, and it was the freebie in the 10th that scored the lone run in the 10th for a 1-0, six-hit shutout of Portland in the opener. Andrew Lee went the first six innings and allowed two walks and four hits while fanning four. Jacob Condra-Bogan followed with a scoreless inning for each of his last names.
