• Millas 3-4, R, 2B, HR, RBI
• Garrett 1-3, BB
Drew Millas walked ’em off with a solo HR in the 9th as the Red Wings clipped the Mets, 2-1. Spenser Watkins allowed the lone Syracuse run on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five. Rico Garcia won for the fourth time as he cordero’d around a single and a walk in 9th. Millas also singled and doubled while Stone Garrett and Carter Kieboom both reached base twice on a single and a walk.
Harrisburg 5 Altoona 4

• D. Garcia 2-3, R, BB, SB
• Hassell 2-5, 2R, 2B, HR, RBI
• House 1-4, R, HR, RBI
The Senators followed the same script on Wednesday as Tuesday: Waste a stellar start, blow the lead, cover for poor RISP hitting with the longball. Andrew Alvarez shut out Altoona for six innings on five hits and a walk while striking out five. He left with a 1-0 lead. Ty Tice put on four consecutive batters with a homer, walk, and two doubles and all four scored. He did not retire a batter. Harrisburg got two back in the 7th, one in the 8th, and Brady House sent the fans and dogs home happy with a walk-off homer on the second pitch he saw in the bottom of the 9th.
Hudson Valley 13 Wilmington 10 (11 inn.)
• L. Young 5⅓ IP, 6H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 3K, 3HR
• Grissom (L, 1-1) 1IP, 2H, 3R, 2ER, 2BB, 0K
• Boisserie 3-5, R, BB, HR, 4RBI
• Lile 2-4, 2R, 2B, 2BB, RBI, CS
• White 1-5, R, BB, RBI
• Made 0-2, R, 4BB
Branden Boisserie’s Earl Weaver special with one out in the tied the game at 7-7 and sent the game into extras. Alas, the Blue Rocks batters couldn’t keep pace with the throw…er, relievers who were torched for three runs in both the 10th and 11th innings to lose, 13-10. Luke Young gave up four runs on three homers and six hits total over five and a 1/3rd innings for a no-decision. The loss went to Marquis Grissom with three runs let in (two earned) on two hits and two walks in the 11th. T.J. White also homered while Kevin Made drew four of the 13 Wilmington walks.
Wilmington
Down East 6 Fredericksburg 3
• Sykora (L, 0-1) 2+ IP, 4H, 3R, 2ER, 1BB, 3K, E, 52-30 PIT-K
• Polanco 5IP, 5H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 2K, HR, 2-1 IR-S
• Farmer 1-2
• Green 1-4, R, HR, RBI, 2K
Travis Sykora’s pro debut was less than stellar as the 20-y.o. Texan was knocked for three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk. He struck out three and threw 52 pitches, 30 for strikes. Bryan Polanco followed with five inning of two-run relief, which should have been good enough but the Fredericksburg offense was limited to two singles and an Elijah Green homer. Two walks and an error led to two runs in the 8th, but they could not repeat the feat in the 9th and went down in order.
