• Arruda 0-3, 2BB, 2SB

The Senators rallied for six in the 7th to tie it at 6-6 but couldn’t capitalize on an error that put a runner on third with two out in the 8th. Instead, the RubberDucks bunted twice in the bottom of the 8th to get a runner into scoring position and pushed across the gamewinner on a one-out double for a 7-6 win. Michael Cuevas gave up another five runs but pitched five full to lower his ERA to 10.13. The 21-y.o. allowed eight hits (one HR), walked two, and fanned five. The loss went to Garvin Alston on three hits in the 8th. Will Frizzell led the Harrisburg hit column with two singles while Drew Millas capped off the 7th with a three-run homer. The Sens took advantage of three errors and seven walks to score six times on just eight hits.

Jordy Barley had a career night with a single, two walks, and a game-winning HR in the 7th to lead Wilmington past Brooklyn, 4-3. The 23-y.o. also swiped three bases and committed his fourth error. Rodney Theophile continues to struggle at High-A, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. Nick Pogue (3IP) and Jack Sinclair (2IP) no-hit the Cyclones for the last five innings, allowing one walk and each striking out three to get the win and save, respectively.

• Infante 2-3, BB, 2B, 2RBI
• Cruz 1-3, 2R, 2B, 2BB, 2RBI

The ShoreBirds trailed for just a half-inning (2-1 after two) as they dominated the FredNats, 11-6. Riley Cornelio took the brunt of the beating with seven runs let in on seven hits (one HR) and three walks over three and 2/3rds innings. He fanned three. Pedro González was the sole reliever to hold off Delmarva, tossing two scoreless innings. Daylen Lile and Sammy Infante both reached base three times while Infante and Armando Cruz both drove in two. Fredericksburg managed just two hits in 16 RISP opportunities as they left on 14 baserunners and were unable to make Delmarva fully pay for issuing 15 walks (four drawn by Donovan Casey).
