Saturday’s News & Notes

Syracuse 6 Rochester 4
• Tetreault (L, 0-2) 5⅓ IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, BB, 5K, 2HR
• Edwards 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Noll 2-4, SB
• Stevenson 1-3, R, BB, HR, RBI
• 1-9 RISP; 7 LOB

The Red Wings briefly led this one 2-1 but were buried by a three-run 6th and a two-run 7th to lose, 6-4. Jackson Tetreault lost for the second time while allowing four runs on six hits (two HR) and a walk over five and a 1/3rd innings. He struck out five. Jake Noll led the Rochester hit column with two singles while Andrew Stevenson’s second HR in the 9th made this a little bit closer than it really was.

Harrisburg 8 Hartford 6
• Henry 4IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 4K, HBP
• Schaller (W, 1-0) 1IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 0K, HR
• Brill (SV, 7) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 0K
• W. Garcia 2-3, 2R, HR, 3RBI
• Harrison 1-4, R, HR, 3RBI
• Flores 1-2, 2B

Harrisburg nearly blew a 7-0 lead but again outslugged Hartford, 8-6 to even the series at 2-2. Cole Henry stretched out to four scoreless innings, issuing two walks and a Victor Robles while fanning four. Reid Schaller was the pitcher of record to get the “W,” though he was dinged for a solo shot in his sole inning of work. The Senators saw four of their eight hits go for extra bases, including homers by Wilson Garcia and K.J. Harrison and doubles by Jecksson Flores and Justin Connell.

Hudson Valley 9 Wilmington 2
• Cate (L, 1-1) 2⅔ IP, 3H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, 5K
• Willingham 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, 4K
• Méndez 1-3, BB, 2B, 2RBI
• Baker, 1-3, BB, SB

The Renegades had it made against the Blue Rocks pitchers, retrieving a bounty of nine runs and ten hits in a 9-2 win. Tim Cate was knocked from the box in the 3rd, charged with four runs on three hits and three walks. He fanned five in his first loss of ’22. Ricardo Méndez drove in both Wilmington runs, including an RBI double in the 9th, while he, Omar Meregildo, and Darren Baker each reached base twice with a walk and a hit.

Charleston 6 Fredericksburg 5
• Collins 5IP, 4H, R, ER, 0BB, 9K, 2E
• Seijas (BS, 1) 3IP, 3H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 2K, 2HR
• Ribalta (L, 0-1) 1IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 3K, HBP
• Infante 2-4, 2R, HR, 2RBI
• V. Peña 2-4, SB
• House, 0-5, 5K, E(7)

Brady House’s season-opening, 18-game on-base streak ended spectacularly as the phenom struck out five times in five AB’s, with the last K coming in the 9th to end the game with the tying run on second base. I guess we’ll just have to settle for an 18-y.o. who’s only batting 194 points better (.885 OPS vs. .691) than the rest of the Carolina League. Of course, House had “help” in Fredericksburg’s 6-5 loss, as Karlo Seijas coughed up four runs in three innings for the blown save, turning another good start by Brendan Collins (5IP, 1R, 9K) into a no-decision. Sammy Infante went deep again for his league-leading 7th HR while going 2-for-4, a mark matched by Viandel Peña while swiping his sixth base.
