OFF DAY

Round Rock 6 Fresno 0
• Crowe (L, 0-1) 6⅔ IP, 5H, 5R, 4ER, 2BB, 5K, WP
• Bacus ⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, 3-0 IR-S
• Noll 1-3, BB
• C. Kieboom 1-3, BB, E(12)

Like a really bad waiter (or an ugly stripper), the Grizzlies had just four singles at the end of the night. None of them came around to score as Round Rock handed Fresno a second straight shutout, 6-0, and its fifth straight loss. Wil Crowe pitched into the 7th for the second time in four AAA starts, but gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks. He struck out five while losing his first AAA game. Jake Noll and Carter Kieboom were the only two Grizzlies to reach base twice, both going 1-for-3 with a walk.
Roster moves: OF Andrew Stevenson reassigned from Harrisburg; LHP Taylor Guilbeau traded to Toronto.

Hartford 1 Harrisburg 0
• Tetreault 5⅓ IP, 4H, 0R, 4BB, 3K
• A. Lee (L, 0-1) 2⅔ IP, 3H, R, ER, 0BB, 2K, 2-0 IR-S
• Garcia 2-4
• M. Taylor 1-4, 2B, 1K, CS
• 0-1 RISP, 3LOB

Harrisburg was held to just four hits and were caught stealing three times (twice trying for third) as Hartford shut them out, 1-0 to even the series at 1-1. Jackson Tetreault pitched into the 6th with four hits and four walks allowed. Andrew Less stranded two while getting the last two outs of the inning but gave up the game’s lone run in the 8th to take the loss, his first at AA. Luis Garcia singled twice, Dante Bichette once, and Michael Taylor doubled once to comprise the Sens hit column.
Roster moves: LHP Aaron Fletcher traded to Seattle.

Potomac vs. Salem – PPD
Rain washed away a P-Nats home game for the 11th time in 56 dates (none on the road thus far), forcing a doubleheader this afternoon and Salem into rush-hour traffic on its way home tonight. (Potomac’s next opponent is Wilmington *Forrest Gump pause* again.)
Roster moves: RHP Kyle Johnston traded to Seattle.

Hagerstown 5 Rome 4
• Irvin 6IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 7K, 2HR, WP
• Williamson (W, 3-0) 3IP, 5H, R, ER, 0BB, 2K
• Mendoza 4-5, R, 2RBI
• Upshaw 2-3, R, BB, SB
• Cluff 2-4, 2R, 3B, SAC

Hagerstown made it back to .500 in dramatic fashion as Drew Mendoza’s fourth hit of the night with two out in the bottom of the 9th sent in Armond Upshaw for a 5-4 win, its seventh straight victory. Jake Irvin weathered two HRs to account for the three runs he let in over six innings while walking three and fanning seven for his fourth quality start in his last five outings. Ryan Williamson finished the game with a run on five hit, no walks, and two whiffs. Mendoza went 4-for-5 with two RBI while Upshaw reached base three times with a pair of singles and a walk and swiped his 20th base of the season (11th for the Suns).

Hudson Valley 7 Auburn 5
• N. Gomez (L, 1-3) 4⅔ IP, 6H, 7R, 6ER, 3BB, 4K, 2HBP
• Turner 1⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 3BB, 2K, 3WP, 1-1 IR-S
• Bocko 2IP, 1H, 0R, BB, K
• Senior 2-4, R, 2B, RBI
• Dunn 2-4, R

The Renegades scored in four of the first five innings while four pitchers combined to strike out 14 as they downed the Doubledays, 7-5. Niomar Gomez was charged with all seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over four and 2/3rds innings. He also hit two batters while taking his third loss. Eric Senior and Jack Dunn both went 2-for-4 with a run scored to lead the Auburn attack, which managed to score five times on eight hits despite the steady breeze from home plate.

GCL Marlins 8 GCL Nationals 7 (10 inn.)
