Jorge Pantoja put on four base runners before he was lifted for Gabe Klobotsits, who stranded three while getting out of the inning and pitched a scoreless 7th for his first hold. Jacob Howell was perfect for the last two innings for a save in his Carolina Lg. debut. Gage Canning and Agustin were both 2-for-4 with a run scored to lead the ten-hit Potomac hit parade.

Jackson Stoeckinger went the first six and let in the first four on seven hits and a hit batsman while striking out four. The loss went to Alfonso Hernandez, who finished the game and gave up two runs on three hits and a walk. He struck out one in his Sally Lg. debut.

• Knowles 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• L. Peña 1-3, BB, OF assists at 2B, HP
• Pratt 2BB, 2PB, E(3)

How do you draw 11 walks and still lose? Ask the Doubledays, who managed just one hit and rolled into two double plays, too, as they lost 5-1 to complete the sweep by the Valley Cats and extend their losing streak to five. Evan Lee made his second start and was scratched for four runs on seven hits (one HR) and a walk while striking out two over four innings. It was his second loss. Landerson Peña broke up the no-hitter with one out in the 9th on a bloop single to shallow left field as the Doubledays went 0-for-9 with RISP and left on 10.
