Rochester opened the Book of Genesis on Syracuse in the 6th, sending 14 men to the plate and scoring eight in a 10-1 demolition. The big inning came just in time for Thad Ward (pictured above) as the 2022 Rule 5 Pick turned in his first quality start since 2019 with six innings of one-run ball on five hits, one walk, and two hit batsmen while striking out eight. Victor Robles, James Wood, and Drew Millas each went 3-for-5 to lead the Red Wings’ season-high 17-hit attack.

Harrisburg 2 Altoona 0

• House 1-4, R, HR(5), RBI

The Senators survived a harrowing 9th, loading the bases with one out before the Curve’s Joe Perez decided for some reason to run home from third standing up on a would-be sac fly… and missed home plate while trying avoid the tag from Israel Pineda. Instead of 2-1 with two out and two on, it was a game-ending double play and 2-0 shutout – Harrisburg’s sixth straight win and Altoona’s 14th straight loss. Brad Lord won his first AA game with a quality start of six scoreless inningws with four hits and two walks allowed and six whiffs. Orlando Ribalta struck out five over two perfect innings for the hold and Nash Walters got credit for the save, his third. Robert Hassell notched his ninth multihit game with two singled while Brady House hit his third HR of the series, fifth of season to power the Harrisburg offense.



Wilmington 13 Hudson Valley 8
• Theophile 1⅔ IP, 4H, 6R, 6ER, 3BB, 3K

Wilmington’s bats awoke with three-spots in three straight innings to turn a 6-0 deficit into a 9-7 lead as the Blue Rocks outslugged the Renegades, 13-8. Rodney Theophile gave up those afored mentioned six runs on four hits and three walks over just an inning and 2/3rds. The win went to Marlon Perez, who rolled a double play ball to get out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam then put up a goose egg in the 5th. Branden Boisserie led the Wilmington hit column with two singles and a double while Matt Suggs and Johnathan Thomas both drove in three as the Blue Rocks hit double digits in both runs and hits for the first time this season.

Fredericksburg 7 Down East 2
• Susana 4IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 6K
• Vasquez (W, 1-0) 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K

• Dugas 2-3, R, BB, RBI, SB
• Pimentel 2-4, 2B(10), RBI
• Vaquero 1-2, 2BB, SB

A five-run 5th broke open a one-run game as the FredNats (17-8) won 7-2 to keep pace with the Mudcats (18-7). Jarlin Susana put in his usual four innings, getting 12 outs on 61 pitches while allowing one run, three hits, and a walk. He struck out six. The win went to Samuel Vasquez with a scoreless top of the 5th. Brandon Pimentel, the Carolina League Player of the Month for April, drove in his league-leading (tied for MiLB lead) 34th run on a first-inning single and connected for his 10th double (yes) while Gavin Dugas reached base three times on two singles and a walk to lead the Fredericksburg offense. Roster moves: RHP Brayan Romero reassigned to the FCL.
