Lehigh Valley 6 Rochester 5 (11 inn.)
• Nolin 4⅓ IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 4K
• Miller 2IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, BB, 4K
• Bonnell (BS, 1; L, 0-1) ⅔ IP, 2H, 2R, ER, 0BB, 1K
• García 2-5, 2R, HR, RBI
• Noll 2-5, 2RBI
• Kieboom 0-5, R, 4K
A two-out infield single and a two-out triple in the 11th turned a 5-4 win into a 6-5 walk-off loss for the RedWings. Veteran Sean Nolin was knocked from the box in the 5th as he let in the first three IronPig runs on six hits and a walk over four and 2/3rds. Like an arraignment of the 1/6 insurrectionists, it was a parade of zeroes until extras with five Rochester relievers keeping Lehigh Valley off the board until the 10th. Gerardo Parra plated the first go-ahead run with a two-single in the 10th while Jake Noll singled in the last run in the 11th. The blown-save-loss went to Bryan Bonnell. Roster moves: RHP Kyle McGowin optioned from Washington.
Somerset 6 Harrisburg 0
• Cate (L, 0-1) 4IP, 5H, 6R, 5ER, 3BB, 3K, 2HR, 2WP
• A. Lee 3IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 3K
• Banks 1-4, 2K
• Mendoza 1-4, 2K
Somserset jumped on Harrisburg starter Tim Cate for five of its six runs in the 1st and cruised to a 6-0 shutout. Cate allowed all six runs on five hits (two HR) and three walks while striking out three in his AA debut. It was a mild night—77 degrees—but the Senators batters kept the Patriots infield cool with the breeze from 15 strikeouts. No Harrisburg batter reached base twice, as K.J. Harrison, Nick Banks, and Drew Mendoza each collected one hit. The Senators left on nine total and went 0-for-4 with RISP.
Aberdeen 10 Wilmington 1
• Rutledge (L, 0-1) 4⅔ IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 4K, 2WP
• Schaller 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K, 2-0 IR-S
• Connell 2-3
• Upshaw 1-3, BB, CS
Jackson Rutledge’s High-A debut was only marginally better as the IronBirds strafed the BlueRocks, 10-1. Rutledge gave up the first two Aberdeen runs on three hits and three walks over four and 2/3rds to take the loss. Francys Peguero and Chris “Chevy” Vann gave up the final eight runs over three-plus innings before Reid Schaller came on with two on and no outs to retire the last three batters. Wilmington batters mustered just three hits and two walks while fanning 13 times. Justin Connell and Armond Upshaw both reached base twice.
Lynchburg 16 Fredricksburg 3
• Strom (L, 0-1) 2IP, 5H, 8R, 7ER, 4BB, 1K, 2HR, HBP
• Hernández 3IP, 5H, R, ER, BB, 3K
• Vega 2-4
• Randa 0-1, 3BB
Perhaps it wasn’t necessary to go for two twice, but the Hillcats took no chances as Lynchburg pounded Fredericksburg, 16-3 in the opener. Leif Strom took the brunt of it, giving up eight runs (seven earned) on five hits (two homers) and four walks. Onix Vega led the F-Nats hit column with two of their seven hits while Jake Randa drew three of the team’s four walks. José Sánchez and Kevin Strohschein each had two errors while Geraldi Diaz had one… plus a passed ball.
