• Wood 2-4, IBB, 2RBI, 2K, SB(10)
• Lipscomb 2-5, R, 2B, RBI

Rochester won the battle of the bullpens, literally walking off in the 11th as Erick Mejia drew a base on balls with the bases loaded in the 11th to force home the game-winning run, 5-4 as the Red Wings took the series, 4-2. Jackson Rutledge pitched into the the 5th for the fifth time in eight starts, allowing two runs on six hits over four and 2/3rds innings. James Wood extended his on-base streak to 25 games with the first of two singles then reached base a third time when the Bisons intentionally walked him in the 10th. Trey Lipscomb doubled to lead off the 11th and tie the game, then came around on Mejia’s unintentional walk after moving up to third on a Juan Yepez forced Buffalo to intentionally walk Drew Millas to loaded the bases with nobody out. Jack Dunn popped up to make that strategy look good until the Mejia unintentional walk.

Harrisburg 5 Erie 4
• Alvarez (W, 2-2) 6⅔ IP, 2H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 7K, HR
• Ribalta (SV, 4) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 3K

• Lawson 1-3, RBI, CS

Dylan Crews delivered RBI doubles twice, driving in four as the Senators edged the Seawolves to take the finale, 5-4 and the series, 4-2. Andrew Alvarez made it into the 7th for the first time this season, allowing three runs on two hits (one HR) and two walks while striking out seven. He would nevertheless win as the Harrisburg offense squeezed five runs from six hits and two walks and went 4-for-8 with RISP and left on just two baserunners.



Aberdeen 5 Wilmington 2
• L. Young (L, 2-3) 4IP, 3H, 3R, 2ER, 0BB, 3K, HR, HBP
• C. Romero 2IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 3K

• Lile 1-3, SB, CS

The Blue Rocks were shot down by the Iron Birds, 5-2, to end their four-game win streak though they still took the series, 4-2. Luke Young lost his third straight start as Aberdeen got to him for three runs on three hits (one HR) over four innings. He struck out three and hit a batter. T.J. White doubled and scored a run while Daylen Lile singled and stole a base. Viandel Peña also singled to round out Wilmington’s three-hit barrage.

Fredericksburg 9 Myrtle Beach 1
• Sthele (W, 1-3) 5IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 7K

• Quintana 4-5, R, 2B, 3B, HR, 2RBI
• Ochoa 2-3, R, BB, RBI
• Pimentel 2-5, R, RBI, SB

Roismar Quintana hit for the cycle with a single in the 2nd, a double in the 4th, a triple in the 6th, and a homer in the 9th as Fredericksburg pummeled the Pelicans, 9-1 to split the series. It was the first cycle by a Nationals minor-leaguer since Randy Novas in 2012. Travis “Sunday” Sthele went five innings for the second time this season and won his first game, allowing the lone Myrtle Beach on three hits. He walked none and struck out a career-high of seven. Nate Ochoa reached base three times with two singles and a walk while Brandon Pimentel and Tyler Baca both went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.

FCL Nationals, 3-7, 4th Place FCL East, 6GB
The F-Nats won twice last week but it now appears that 2024 could be a battle with their co-tenants to stay out of the FCL East cellar. The FCL Nats and FCL Astros meet today and the F-Nats will only leave West Palm Beach once this week, as they travel to Jupiter to play the F-Cards on F-Thursday.
