• T. Romero 3⅓ IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 3K, 2-0 IR-S

The Red Wings got a two-run HR in the 8th and a three-run HR in the 9th to force extras, where Matt Adams went deep in the bottom of the 11th for 10-8 win. José Ureña reverted to the mean and didn’t make it out of the 1st inning as the Mets lit him up for five runs on four walks, a single, and a triple. Five relievers combined to limit Syracuse to one run in regulation and one in extras over 10⅓ innings, with Gerson Moreno picking up the win after letting in the free runner in the 10th and retiring the side in the 11th.
Newcomer Luis Torrens hit the aforementioned two-run shot in the 8th. Travis Blankenhorn served up the Earl Weaver special after the Mets walked the first two batters in the 9th. Matt Adams led off the 11th with his 8th HR to send fans home after three hours and fourty-four minutes, thanks to 19 hits and 17 walks by the I.L. East’s 9th and 10th place teams.
Harrisburg Senators, 22-22, T3rd place E.L. Southwest, 1½ GB
For the second straight week, Harrisburg split its series but still remains within striking distance of first place, despite a negative run differential of 15 runs. The promotion of James Wood could help with this, presuming he adjusts well to AA pitching, which as longtime followers know, is far from a given. This week, it’s another series against the Southwest Division’s cellar-dwellers (Bowie) and a chance to gain some ground.
Wilmington Blue Rocks, 22-22, 4th place Sally Lg. North, 4½ GB
The Blue Rocks dropped four of six to the Renegades and fell into 4th place. The departure of James Wood will not be offset by Yasel Antuna’s return, which means the pitching has to get even better. Cole Henry may only make one more start and thus far Jackson Tetreault’s rehab work has been more of liability than an asset. This week and next, Wilmington is on the road in North Carolina, starting with Asheville this week and Greensboro next week.
Fredericksburg Nationals, 17-25, 6th place C.L. North, 7GB
Fredericksburg won four of five against 5th place Salem to cut the gap between the two to 2½ games. This week it’s seven against Delmarva, starting with a continuation of the April 22 game that was suspended after 1½ innings, with the Shorebirds leading, 2-1.
