In the continuation, which was delayed by rain, the Red Wings rallied from a 5-1 deficit with three in the 9th to walk off the Mud Hens, 6-5. Spenser Watkins “started” but was ineffective, allowing five runs on seven hits (two HR) and two walks over four innings. The win went to Methusel…uh, Luis Reyes as he got the last five outs for Rochester and issued one walk. Travis Blankenhorn got the party started in the bottom of the 9th with his second extra-base hit, a leadoff triple to the right-centerfield warning track. A groundout scored Blankenhorn. Jake Alu walked and took second on a slow roller to short. Darren Baker delivered the second run with pinch-hit RBI single, moved up to second on an Erick Mejia walk, and scored on Alex Call’s two-out, game-winning double.

For the second time in three games the Fredericksburg bats were AWOL as Fayetteville shut them out, 4-0, on two hits. Jose Atencio took the loss as he let in two runs on eight hits over five innings. He walked none and struck out seven. Jose Colmenares broke up the shutout with a two-out single in the 4th while Roismar Quintana led off the 8th for the FredNats’ second hit. Neither struck out while the rest of Fredericksburg lineup kept the Woodpeckers infielders cool with 16 whiffs.
