Two critical baserunning errors in the 4th cost the Red Wings as they fell to the Storm, 1-0 in 10 innings. The first came when Darren Baker, who had led off with a single, trying to score from 1st with nobody out on a double off the LF wall by Andrés Chaparro and easily thrown out. The second came on the very next at-bat when the far-less-fleet-of-foot Chaparro, who had taken third base on Baker’s TOOTBLAN, tried to score on on a tapper to shortstop with the infield drawn in and was thrown out in a rundown. Rochester went 0-for-9 with RISP overall, including back-to-back whiffs after Drew Millas doubled with one out in the 7th. Andrew Alvarez pitched into the 6th for the first time at AAA, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out four. Luis Reyes took the loss when Brady House’s throw in to home sailed high wide, enabling the free runner to score.

Jarlin Susana turned in five innings of two-run ball on three hits and no walks while striking out eight to win his second High-A game. Phillip Glasser homered twice and drove in four while Joe Naranjo doubled twice anc scored three times to highlight Wilmington’s 13-hit, seven-walk offense.

Fredericksburg survived a late scare to even up the series with a 5-4 win over Lynchburg.

Jose Colmenares singled twice and walked twice while Yoyo Morales went 2-for-4 with a run scored to led the FredNats offense. The final run came with the help of back-to-back wild pitches after Elijah Green’s leadoff double. It would prove to be the diffrerence as Bubba Hall put on four baserunner in the 8th and all four came in to score, with the “help” of an error and a two-out, two-run double surrendered by Matt Bollenbacher. In the 9th, the 24-y.o. Virginia Beach native walked two but cordero’d around both of them to earn the save, his first as a pro.
