Rochester Red Wings, 38-35, 3rd Place I.L. East, 11GB
Rochester won twice in the final week of the first half to finish in third place in the division, but 11 games off the pace set by the International League’s first-half champs, the Omaha Storm Chasers. Indianapolis comes to Frontier Field for six this week with a matinee on Thursday.
Harrisburg Senators, 38-31, 2nd Place E.L. Southwest, 1GB
If it’s any consolation, the Senators were actually two games short of winning the division as they would have had to win 40 games to beat the Seawolves on percentage points, thanks to Erie playing two fewer games than Harrisburg. Coincidentally, those teams will meet this week in Erie for the final time this season, with Harrisburg holding an 8-7 edge in the season series thus far.
Wilmington, 1-2 T4th Sally Lg. North, 1GB – 32-37 overall
Wilmington heads north to Hudson Valley for the first of two trips to upstate New York. The Blue Rocks are dead last in the Sally Lg. on offense despite having the oldest team in the league.
Fredericksburg Nationals, 2-1 T1st, 1GA – 37-32 overall
It’s hard to believe, but this week’s series against the Red Sox is the first between Salem and Fredericksburg in 2024. The FredNats’ second-half schedule is heavily tilted toward its division (eight of ten series) with just three series outside of Virginia – July 4-6 in Salisbury, MD, August 20-25 in Columbia, SC, and August 27-September 1 in Kannapolis, NC.

The DSL Nationals lost a 1-0 lead in the 8th but walked off the DSL White Sox in the 9th for a 2-1 win to open Week 4 of the DSL season. 18-y.o. Jose Feliz struck out nine and walked one over six scoreless innings, giving up three hits but came away with a no-decision. 17-y.o. Jean Robles was charged with his second blown save as he let in the tying run on a two-out walk, steal, and single in the 8th. 18-y.o. Jeffrey Familia got the last four outs and the win when the D-Nats loaded the bases on two singles and a walk then got the game-winner with no one out on 18-y.o. Robert Santos’s RBI single.
