SSDG – Fresno’s starter turns in his best start of the year (actually, his career), the offense remains AWOL, and the Grizzlies lose in extras, 3-2. Logan Ondrusek, who was making his 13th start of the year (the most since 2007), shut down the Missions over seven innings, giving up one hit, two walks, and a hit batsman, while striking out six. Raudy Read’s two-out triple in the top of the 10th broke up the Star Trek convention on the scoreboard but Derek Self couldn’t keep the free runner from scoring to send the game to the 11th. Carter Kieboom’s second double of the night plated Brandon Snyder to give the Grizzlies a 2-1 lead in the 12th. Joan Baez got two quick outs but then gave up a single to tie, a walk to force the runner into scoring position, then another single to lose.
Roster moves: RHPs Javy Guerra, Michael Blazek outrighted from Washington.

The Sens weren’t shut out, but they were held to just two hits as the Flying Squirrels evened up the series with a 3-1 victory. Mario Sanchez turned in a quality start of two runs allowed on six hits (one HR) and a walk while striking out three, but lost for the fourth time. Austen Williams gave up the insurance run in the 7th while Brad Boxberger stranded three while cleaning up his mess. Harrisburg scored its lone run on a walk, an error, a stolen base, and a ground out but couldn’t take advantage of the other four errors as they went 0-for-9 with RISP and left on 10 runners.

Angel Guillen got the next five outs with one hit allowed in his Carolina League debut while Hayden Howard stranded one in the 8th and let in the free runner in the 10th for the win, his fourth. Omar Meregildo drew a bases-loaded walk in the 9th to force extras while Aldrem Corredor and Jackson Reetz both went 2-for-5 with an RBI, driving both P-Nats runs with their second hit in the 10th.
