Lehigh Valley 5 Rochester 2 (10 inn.)
• Watkins 5IP, 7H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 6K, 2HR,
• LaSorsa 2⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, 2-0 IR-S
• R. Garcia 2BF, 1H, 3R, 2ER, IBB, 0K, HR
• Baker 2-4, R, 2B(5)
• Blankenhorn 1-3, BB, 2B, 2RBI

Travis Blankenhorn delivered a two-run double in the top of the 1st to give Rochester a 2-0 lead. That would be it for the Red Wings, though they managed to force extras where Lehigh Valley’s Weston Wilson blasted a three-run HR after Rico Garcia intentionally walked David Dahl. Daren Baker also doubled and singled as the Red Wings were held to six hits total. Sorry, kids: James Wood leaving in the middle of the game is reportedly due to “lower body soreness,” which has later been reported as hamstring tightness and appears to have happened during this play.

Akron 3 Harrisburg 2 (10 inn.)
• Lara 6IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 8K, HR
• Sinclair 1IP, 0H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, K
• D. Garcia 2-3, 2R, BB, 2B(5), HR, RBI
• Cluff 2-4, 2-2B, RBI

Cody Wilson tried to score from second on a ground ball hit in front of him with two out in the bottom of the 10th and was thrown out at the plate to end the game, which the Sens lost, 3-2. The baserunning gaffe made a loser out of Jack Sinclair, who let in the free runner in the top of the 10th without giving up a hit. Robert Hassell, who hit the ball in front of Wilson, was given a single on the play, which was just the second hit in 12 RISP chances. Dérmis Garcia homered, doubled, and scored both runs while Jackson Cluff doubled twice, driving in Garcia in the 5th. That took Andry Lara off the hook despite turning in another quality start.



Rome 2 Wilmington 1
• Atencio (L, 0-1) 5IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 6K, HR, BK
• C. Romero 2IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Peña 1-4, 2B, SB
• 3 LOB

Jose Atencio gave up a two-run HR in the bottom of the 1st and his teammates made that stand up with one run on one hit for a 2-1 Wilmington loss to Rome. Atenctio gave up five hits total, walked two, and struck out six over five innings to get the loss. Carlos Romero added two goose eggs and Matt Cronin one. Viandel Peña doubled in the 1st to break up the no-hitter while Kevin Made was hit by pitch, took third on an errant pickoff throw, and scored on a groundout to end the shutout bid.

Fredericksburg 7 Lynchburg 3
• Sykora 3IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 5K, HBP, WP
• Hall (W, 4-0) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Ochoa 3-4, R, 2B, HR, 4RBI
• Cooper 2-4, R, BB, 2-2B
• Cox 0-1, 3R, 3BB, RBI, SB(10)

The FredNats stuck to the season script, as the offense scored six unanaswered runs while the bullpen gave up just one run over the last six innings in a 7-3 win over the Hillcats. Travis Sykora needed 65 pitches to get nine outs as Lynchburg stung him for two runs on four hits and two walks. He struck out five and hit a batter. Bubba Hall won his fourth game with two perfect innings and four whiffs. Nate Ochoa singled, doubled, homered, and drove in four while Everett Cooper doubled twice, walked once, and scored a run to pace the Fredericksburg offense.

FCL Cardinals 9 FCL Nationals 1
• Portorreal (L, 0-2) 3IP, 9H, 6R, 4ER, 2BB, 2K, HR, PO @ 1B
• Luis 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, HBP, WP
• W. Diaz 2-4, 2E
• C. Batista 1-3, R, HR, RBI

The FCL Nationals reverted to the mean as the FCL Cardinals ended the F-Nats’ three-game winning streak with a 9-1 smackdown. Leuris Portorreal was knocked for six runs on nine hits over three innings to lose his second straight start. Reilin Ramirez was only slightly less ineffective, giving up two runs over the next three to put the game away. Carlos Batista ended the shutout bid with a solo HR as the F-Nats managed just five hits total, with Winder Diaz leading the hit column with two singles.
