He gave up three runs on three hits and three walks over three innings. Brian González took the loss as he let in the free runner in the 10th on a pair of sacrifices. Jack Dunn and Dondrei Hubbard both singled three times while Justin Connell and K.J. Harrison both hit solo HRs to power the Senators’ offense.

Wilmington vs. Brooklyn – PPD
Fog rolled in again on the Cyclones and Blue Rocks for the second straight night, forcing another postponement. A makeup date has not yet been announced, but Wilmington next visits Brooklyn in late August and has two series at Frawley Stadium in the interim.

IFA Marlon Perez made his (American) pro debut but was, um, shelled by the Cannon Ballers for four runs on three hits and a walk over 2/3rds of an innings to take the loss. Jeremy De La Rosa singled twice to lead the FredNats hit column while Andry Arias drew two of the four walks for Fredericksburg’s batters.
