Four Rochester pitchers combined for 18 strikeouts as they prevailed 2-1 over St. Paul. Cory “Don’t Call Me Roger” Abbott struck out 12 over five and 2/3rds innings, losing a no-no with a leadoff double in the 6th and walking three. Jose Ferrer stranded two while getting out of the top of 6th. The 23-y.o. southpaw got the benefit of the Red Wings scoring twice in the bottom in the 6th on two singles, a sacrifice, and a wild pitch. Andres Machado cordero’d around an error, a double, a walk, and a sacrifice, which put the tying run at third and the go-ahead run at second before he fanned the next two for a hard-earned save.

With rain in the forecast for the whole day, the plug was pulled on Game 4 between the Patriots and Senators more than five hours before first pitch. They’ll shoot to make this up with a twi-night twinbill tonight.

Jose Atencio hit a wall in the 4th as he let in three runs on three hits, a walk, and a Victor Robles. Two errors on the same play (both by Cortland Lawson) led to four unearned runs. Fredericksburg answered with four of their own in the top of the 6th and tied the game with three in the 9th. Murphy Stehly and Daylen Lile both led off the extra innings with an RBI single to send in the free runner. Miguel Gomez couldn’t hold the lead in the 10th but did in the 11th for the blown-save-win. Stehly led the hit column with three singles and three RBI, followed by Lile with a single and double as the FredNats racked up nine hits, drew six walks, and stole six bases. Defensively, they turned five double plays and committed two errors.
