Worcester 5 Rochester 4
• Peralta 6IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 4K, HR
• H. Harris (BS, 3; L, 1-2) ⅔ IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 1K, PTV
• F. Reyes 2-3, R, HR, 2BB, RBI
• Alu 2-5, 2B

After a 47-minute delay (by rain!) the Red Wings broke out for three in the 4th and tacked on another run in the 7th. Alas, it was not enough as the (ugh) Woo Sox answered in their half of the 7th with three to turn the 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 win. Wily Peralta turned in another quality start of two runs on five hits (one HR) and two walks while striking out four. Hobie Harris retired just two of seven batters faced, allowing the last three runs on three hits and two walks for the (dreaded) blown-save-loss. Franmil Reyes and Travis Blankenhorn both went deep with nobody on but only Carter Kieboom was able to connect with a RISP as his RBI triple was the sole hit in eight chances as Rochester left on ten men. Roster moves: LHP Joe La Sorsa optioned from Washington (waiver claim from Tampa Bay); RHP Odalvi Javier reassigned from Harrisburg.

New Hampshire 7 Harrisburg 2
• Henry (L, 0-1) 3⅔ IP, 4H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 3K
• Knowles 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, 1-0 IR-S
• Rutherford 2-4, 2B, RBI
• Cluff 1-4, R, HR, RBI, E(1)

The wheels came off the bus for the Cole Henry comeback tour as New Hampshire roughed him up for four runs in a 7-2 smackdown. The 23-y.o. got knocked from the box with two out in the 4th. He gave up four hits and two walks while striking out three, taking the loss. Four relievers followed, each getting four outs, with three of the four going unscathed. Alas, it was for naught as the Harrisburg bats were held to five hits, with Blake Rutherford and Jackson Cluff accounting for both RBI and both extra-base hits for the Sens. Roster moves: LHP Dustin Saenz promoted from Wilmington.

Greensboro 1 Wilmington 0
• Alvarez 5IP, 2H, 0R, 3BB, 9K
• Schoff (L, 3-3) 1BF, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 0K, HR
• McKenzie 1-3, BB, CS
• J. Young 1-4

The Blue Rocks’ woes continued as they dropped their third straight one-run decision (and fourth game in a row) with a 1-0 walkoff loss in the 9th. Andrew Alvarez tied his season-high of nine whiffs while pitching five scoreless innings with two hit and three walks allowed. Dannel Diaz, Thomas Ruwe, and Jared Zinn each put up a goose egg to keep the Star Trek Convention going on the scoreboard until Tyler Schoff saw his 6th pitch sail over the CF wall. 21-y.o. Thomas Harrington dominated Wilmington for seven innings, allowing just two singles by Jared McKenzie and Jacob Young while setting down eight on strikes.

Fredericksburg 6 Charleston 1
• Caceres (W, 3-0) 5IP, 4H, 1R, 0ER, 2BB, 3K
• Lord (H, 3) 3IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Lile 2-3, 2R, HR, 4RBI, SB(15)
• W. Perez 1-3, R, 2B, RBI
• Boisserie 1-3, R, BB, 2B(5)

Fredericksburg finally climbed back to .500 with its 15th win in its last 18 games, a 6-1 decision over Charleston. Bryan Caceres picked up his third win with five innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and two walks while setting down three on strikes. Brad Lord neutered the Riverdogs for three innings to earn his third hold. Daylen Lile was a one-man wrecking crew, scoring twice while going 2-for-3 with a HR and four RBI and stealing his 15th base. Branden Boisserie and Wilmer Perez both doubled and scored a run in the FredNats’ eight-hit, four-walk night. Roster moves: OF Christopher De La Cruz reassigned from the FCL.

FCL Nationals 15 FCL Marlins 8 (7 inn.)
• C. Sanchez 3IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 2K, WP
• M. Diaz (W, 1-0) 1⅔ IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, K, 2-0 IR-S
• Klassen 2-2, 3R, 2B, BB, 2RBI, HBP
• Mota 2-2, R, 2B, RBI
• Baca 2-3, R, RBI, HBP
• Peoples 2-4, 2R, HR(GS), 4RBI

The F-Nats evened up their won-loss record as they outslugged the F-Marlins for a 15-8 win. Camilo Sanchez got the start but was hooked by the Fish for three runs and six hits and two walks over three innings. The win went Moises Diaz, who stranded two while getting the last two outs of the 5th and working around a pair of singles in the 6th. Nick Peoples’s first pro HR was a grand slam, which highlighted a six-run 3rd that put the FCL Nationals up 10-3. Returnee Blake Klassen reached base four times with a double, single, walk, and a Victor Robles to lead the 11-hit parade in which four batters had multiple hits.
Roster moves: OF Brenner Cox demoted from Fredericksburg; C Maxwell Romero assigned from Fredericksburg for MiLB rehab; UT Jeter Downs assigned from Rochester for MiLB rehab; RHP Camilo Sanchez activated from 7-Day I.L.

DSL Mariners 2 DSL Nationals 1 (7 inn.)

• R. Cuevas 1⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, K
• E. Soto 2-3, 2B
