The Red Wings went deep four times to score five of its six runs as they stopped a two-game slide, 6-5 over the IronPigs. Jefry Rodriguez no-hit Lehigh Valley for three and 2/3rds but issued five walks, hit a batter, and uncorked a wild pitch to allow three runs. Carl Edwards Jr. picked up the win with two scoreless innings, walking one and fanning three. Luis García singled three times and drove in the game-winning run while Joey Meneses homered twice and plated three to lead the Rochester offense.

• Connell 2-5, 2R, HR, RBI

Make that 35 runs in three games for Harrisburg’s…batters?! After a nine-run 6th to go up 13-0, the Fightin Phils said “no más,” and the Sens mostly relented, scoring once more in the 8th for a 14-5 smackdown. Starter Richard Guasch fell one out short of a quality start, with two hits, three walks, and no runs allowed while fanning second to earn his first win. K.J. Harrison was the beer man in the 16-hit assault, led by Jake Alu’s double and four singles and Brady Lindsly’s double and triple.

Hickory 5 Wilmington 2
• Cuevas 5⅓ IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 2K
• Kirian (BS, 2) ⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K, WP, 1-1 IR-S
• Romero (L, 1-1) ⅔ IP, 2H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, K
• Jo. Sánchez 1-2, R, HR, 2RBI, BB
• Barley 1-4, SB

José Sánchez’s two-run HR was not enough to carry the night as Hickory scored five unanswered runs to defeat Wilmington, 5-2. Michael Cuevas pitched into the 6th for the first time this season and was rewarded with a no-decision. He let in two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over five and a 1/3rd innings. Michael Kirian blew the save, letting in the tying run on a wild pitch and a sac fly while getting the last two outs of the 6th. Carlos Romero took the loss with four runners put on base and three of them coming in to score during the Crawdads’ 7th. Yasel Antuna, Drew Mendoza, and Israel Pineda each doubled while Jordy Barley singled to round out the five-hit barrage for the Blue Rocks.

Fredericksburg 5 Kannapolis 4 (10 inn.)
• Theophile 6IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 7K, HR, 3WP
• Glavine (BS, 1) 1⅓ IP, 2H, R, ER, BB, 4K, WP
• Sinclair (W, 1-0) 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 4K, 1-0 IR-S

• V. Peña 2-4, 2R, HR, RBI
• Williams 2-5, R, 2B, RBI
• House 2-5, 2RBRI

Fredericksburg lost a 4-3 lead in the 8th to send the game into extras, where Steven Williams plated the free runner in the top of the 10th with a leadoff single and Orlanda Ribalta retired the side in the inning’s bottom half to pick up the save in a 5-4 win over Kannapolis. Rodney Theophile got his second career quality start with three runs allowed on four hits (one HR) and one walk. He struck out seven. Peyton Glavine was charged with the blown save while Jack Sinclair picked up the win as both pitchers set down four on strikes for a total of 16 on the night. Viandel Peña led off the game with his first HR of the year to lead a quintet of batters with multiple hits, including Brady House with two RBI to extend his Carolina League-leading RBI total to 15 in 12 games (Jeremy De La Rosa is second with 13).
