Syracuse 2 Rochester 1 (10 inn.)
• Adon 5IP, 3H, 0R, 3BB, 6K
• Sadzeck 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• F. Perez (L, 1-3) ⅔ IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 2 IBB, 0K
• Alu 2-4, R, 2-2B
• Banks 1-4, RBI

The Red Wings gambled on getting a whiff, a popup, or a double-play after the Mets bunted over the free runner in the 10th and they issued back-to-back IBBs to load the bases. Instead, Syracuse got a sac fly and walked off Rochester, 2-1, and hand Francisco Perez his third loss. Joan Adon got the start and worked around six baserunners over five scoreless innings, striking out six. The Mets broke up the Star Trek convention on the [no free advertising] stadium scoreboard with a run in the 6th, which the Red Wings got back in the 9th on a two-out double by Jake Alu followed by a single by Nick Banks. Rochester ran itself out of the 10th when Donovan Casey tried to score from second on a wild pitch strikeout, which may have been a pretty good gamble as Syracuse’s Nick Meyer had to beat Casey to the plate from about 30′ from home plate (third base side) and apply the tag while taking the return throw from first base. The Red Wings had seven hits total, led by Alu with two doubles, and left on five.

Akron 3 Harrisburg 2
• Herrera 6IP, 4H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 8K
• Alston (L, 0-1) 1+ IP, 3H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 1K, HBP
• Hassell 3-3, BB, 2B
• Millas 2-4, RBI

Three straight hits and an error led to the tying and winning runs scoring in the top of the 8th as Akron edged Harrisburg 3-2. The Dr. Jeckyll version of Ronald Herrera showed up to pitch, turning in his ninth quality start with six innings of one-run ball on four this, no walks, and eight K’s. Garvin Alston took the loss, striking out one and hitting a batter in the 7th before giving up the two runs and three hits in the 8th. Robert Hassell reached base four time with a walk, two singles, and a double while Drew Millas singled twice and drove in one to lead the Senators’ offense.

Hudson Valley 8 Wilmington 0
• Theophile (L, 1-7) 4IP, 6H, 4R, 3ER, 2BB, 4K, HBP
• Chu 1IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Witt 1-3
• Emiliani 1-4, 2B

The Renegades shut out the Blue Rocks, 8-0, on three hits. Rodney Theophile got the start and was knocked for four runs on six hits, two walks, and a Victor Robles over four innings. He struck out four. Paul Witt and Justin Connell both had singles while Leandro Emiliani had Wilmington’s sole extra-base hit, a double to lead off the 5th where he stayed put as Wilmington grounded out twice to shortstop and once to third base.

Fredericksburg 9 Salem 7
• Caceres 6IP, 5H, 5R, 5ER, 3BB, 4K, HBP
• Huff (W, 2-0) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Threadgill (SV, 9) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 0K
• Frizzell 2-3, BB, 3RBI
• McKenzie 3-5, R, 2SB
• J. Young 2-5, 3R, BB, RBI, SB

The FredNats bats and bullpen continue to cover for spotty starting pitching as they dug out of 5-0 after one to rally for a 9-7 win – their fifth straight. Bryan Caceres did what Bryan Caceres does: give up a lot of runs (5) but eat a lot of innings (6). He survived a five-run 1st and gave the Fredericksburg offense the chance to catch up, which it did with a three-run 6th, then tied it again with a two in the 8th, and pulled ahead with another two-spot in the 9th. Every starter had a hit, led by Jared McKenzie with three while Will Frizzell drove in three and T.J. White hit his 11th HR. The win went to Chance Huff with a scoreless 8th while Riggs Threadgill worked around a walk in the 9th for the save, his ninth.
