Jackson Tetreault fell two outs shy of qualifying for the win, as he was lifted after four and a 1/3rd and 92 pitches thrown. He let in two runs on four hits, walked five, and struck out four. Reed Garrett was credited with the win despite giving up a run in the 6th. Jordan Weems and Alberto Baldonado combined for three perfect innings of relief to earn the hold and save respectively. Veteran backstop Chris Herrmann and newcomer Josh Palacios combined to go 4-for-6 with two walks, a double (Herrmann), and three RBI to lead the Red Wings’ 10-hit parade.

The Senators rolled to their sixth straight win, 7-2 over the Fightin Phils.

Alex Troop went the next three, letting in both Reading runs on two hits, no walks, and five K’s. Francys Peguero, who still does not like having his picture taken, close it out with three scoreless to earn the save. He gave up one hit and fanned five. Brady Lindsly singled twice and homered while Jecksson Flores singled, doubled, and drove in a run as every Harrisburg batter reached base – including K.J. Harrison with a Homer Simpson RBI in the 1st.

Tim Cate made his season debut with four scoreless innings, with four hits allowed, no walks, and three whiffs to earn the win. José Sánchez was the beer man in the Blue Rocks’ 12-hit, four-hit attack, which included an 8-for-16 mark with RISP and just six runners left on. Omar Meregildo led the Wilmington hit column with a single, double, and a homer while Yasel Antuna drew three walks to pull into a three-way tie for the Sally League lead with 13BB and a Soto-esque .444 OBP.

Fredericksburg 12 Kannapolis 5
• Collins (W, 1-0) 5IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 9K, HR
• Seijas (SV, 1) 4IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, BB, 3K, HR

The FredNats administered a paternity test for the second time in three games as they bombed the Cannon Ballers, 12-5. Starter Brendan Collins struck out a career-high of nine while picking up his first professional win. He allowed two runs on four hits (one HR) and walked none. Karlo Seijas finished the game and was awarded the save despite a pedestrian line of three runs on five hits, including a HR in the 9th while issuing a walk and setting down three on strikes. Fredericksburg clinched the game with a four-run 2nd, despite having the first two runners walk and then get thrown out trying to steal. Geraldi Diaz reached base five times, Viandel Peña four times, and Branden Boisserie three times – missing the cycle by a home run. Some nobody named Brady House also had three hits and two RBI to extend his on-base streak to 13 games.
