Tacoma 8 Fresno 4
• Ondrusek 6IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 4K, 2HR, 2HBP
• Blazek (L, 2-1) ⅓ IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 1K
• Snyder 2-2, R, 2B, BB, HR, 2RBI
• C. Kieboom 2-4
Fresno went deep three times, but like Fortnite devotees, the action was all solo as Tacoma took the opener, 8-4. Logan Ondrusek posted his third straight quality start—and third straight no-decision—with three runs on two home runs and six hits total over six innings. He walked one and struck out four. Michael Blazek retired one of four batters faced in the 7th and the two runs charged to him snapped a 3-3 tie and gave him the loss. Brandon Snyder, Drew Ward, and Yadiel Hernandez each homered while Snyder and Carter Kieboom both had multiple hits to lead the Grizzlies eight-hit, one-walk (Snyder) offense.
Roster moves: RHP Dakota Bacus placed on 7-Day I.L.; SS Matt Reynolds activated from 7-Day I.L.
Harrisburg 12 Altoona 1
• Mapes (W, 6-6) 6IP, 4H, R, ER, BB, 7K; 2-3, 2R, 2RBI
• Istler 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Stevenson 5-5, 2R, 2B, BB
• Masters 3-4, 2R, 2-2B, BB, 2RBI
• Banks 2-3, 2R, 2BB, RBI
The Senators sent nine men up to the plate in both the 2nd and 3rd innings and eleven of them came in to score in a 12-1 flattening of the Curve. Tyler Mapes also got in on the fun as he went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBI. He also gave up the Altoona run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven to win his 6th game. Austen Williams, Jhonatan German, and Andrew Istler each threw a scoreless inning to close it out. Andrew Stevenson reached base six times with a walk, a double, and four singles to lead the 19-hit parade that did not feature a homer but did include five doubles and six walks.
Myrtle Beach 11 Potomac 2
• Cate (L, 4-4) 6IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 4K, HR
• Howell ⅔ IP, 6H, 7R, 7ER, 2BB, 1K, HR
• Harrison 2-4
• Corredor 1-3, 2B, BB
The rains came but didn’t fall hard enough to stop the game in the 6th, though about half of the few dozen people in attendance headed for the exits (the 2,000+ dressed as empty seats apparently stayed). More presumably left after Myrtle Beach went to town on the Potomac ‘pen for eight runs in the 7th in a 11-2 defenestration. Tim Cate got the start and the loss as he was charged with three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four to fall to 4-4 at High-A. K.J. Harrison went 2-for-4 while Aldrem Corredor doubled and walked to lead the six-hit assault on the Pelicans.
Hagerstown 6 West Virginia 3
• Rutledge 4IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 6K, HBP, 2WP
• Adon (BS, 1; W, 11-3) 4IP, 4H, R, ER, BB, 6K, HR, BK
• Perkins 2-5, 2B, RBI
• Cluff 1-3, 2R, 2BB, 2RBI
• Upshaw 1-2, R, BB, 2SB
The Suns took advantage of sloppy defense and wayward pitching to score three in the top of the 6th and short the Power, 6-3. Jackson Rutledge hit his pitch count after four innings, allowing the first two West Virginia runs on four hits and two walks while fanning six. After a scoreless 5th from Matt Cronin, Joan Adon came on in relief and finished the game, letting in the third Power tally for a blown save but also registering his 11th win, which leads the Nats minors and the Sally Lg. Nic Perkins singled, doubled, and drove in a run while Jackson Cluff drove in two and walked twice to pace the Hagerstown offense. FYI: Tomorrow’s starter is TBD.
Williamsport 3 Auburn 2
• R. Gomez (L, 1-5) 5IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER, BB, K
• McMahon 1⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, 1-0 IR-S
• Mendez 1-3, R, 2B, BB, SB, CS
• Ydens 1-3, 2B
Williamsport got one in the 1st and two in the 4th and that would be enough to get past Auburn, 3-2. Rafael Gomez let in all three Crosscutter runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out one (1). Dylan Beasley, Hunter McMahon, and Bobby Milacki combined for three scoreless innings of relief to give the offense a chance to come back. Williamsport’s bullpen was equal to the task as they issued a walk and hit a batter over the last four “ups.” Ricardo Mendez was the sole batter to reach base twice (walk, double) as the Doubledays got four hits and two walks and struck out 13 times. It’s not clear why Jose Sanchez was lifted in what appears to in the middle of an at-bat; there is no mention on Auburn’s official Twitter feed or its website (yet).
GCL Marlins 7 GCL Nationals 6 – COMP.
• Hiraldo 4⅔ IP, 4H, 3R, 0ER, 5BB, 2K, WP

GC Nationals 1 GCL Marlins 0 – SUSP.

When they resume play next week in Jupiter (20th), it’ll be the top of the 3rd with two out.
