Rochester 5 Lehigh Valley 1

The Red Wings broke open a 1-0 game with a four-run 3rd and cruised to a 5-1 win, running their win streak to five and winning their first series since June. MacKenzie Gore pitched into third, allowing four hits and two walks. Tommy Romero came on with the bases loaded and two down and bailed out Gore with groundout. He went five more innings, losing the shutout on a solo HR in the 6th but allowing just four baserunners and fanning two for his second win for Rochester. The trio of Nick Banks, Jake Alu, and DJ Peters each went 2-for-4 with an RBI single to lead the Red Wings offense.

New Hampshire 5 Harrisburg 4
• Irvin 6IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 7K, HR
• Fuentes (L, 4-7) 1IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Hassell 2-5, RBI, OF assists @ 2B, 3B
• Cluff 1-4, R, HR, RBI

New Hampshire put up a picket fence in the late innings to break a 3-3 tie and held on for a 5-4 win over Harrisburg. Jake Irvin closed out his 2022 with a quality start of three runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out seven. Steven Fuentes took the loss with a run on two hits and a walk in the 7th for his seventh loss. Robert Hassell, who will headline the Nationals contingent in the AFL next month, singled twice and threw out two runners while Jackson Cluff homered to pace the Sens’ attack.

Lynchburg 3 Fredericksburg 0
• Lara (L, 0-1) 4IP, 5H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 3K
• M. Perez 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Boisserie 1-3

The FredNats had but one hit. It was just a single with no one base. He did not reach second base. That the Fredericksburg pitchers gave up three runs over eight innings was moot. After leading the second half wire-to-wire, outscoring their opponents by 118 runs, a three-game slump sent the team packing with a 3-0 loss to the Hillcats.
