Sunday’s News & Notes

Omaha 2 Rochester 0
• Lord (L, 2-1) 5⅔ IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 4K, BK
• Tice 2IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 3K, WP
• Crews 1-4, CS

No woulda, coulda, shoulda here. Well, at least not for Rochester. Omaha, on the other hand, might be wondering if a better throw on Dylan Crews’s grounder in the 1st gets turned into an out instead of an infield single… Instead, five Storm pitchers will have to settle for a combined, one-hit shutout and a 2-0 win. Brad Lord took the loss, allowing both Omaha runs on four hits and two walks over five and 2/3rds while striking out four. The Red Wings got just one baserunner into scoring position after back-to-back walks to Jack Dunn and Jackson Cluff in the 6th before Darren Baker struck out and Crews hit into a DP to end the only threat for Rochester.

• Pinckney 1-4, 2B(15), 2K

Dérmis Garcia’s two-out, two-run HR, in the… wait for it… 2nd as four Sens pitchers combined to shut out the RubberDucks, 2-0. Rodney Theophile went the first five and allowed two hits and three walks while striking out seven to even up his AA won-loss record at 2-2. The save went to Carlos Romero after putting the tying runs on with back-to-back singles to open the 9th before getting a whiff and a double-play ball. Garcia was the only Harrisburg batter not to strike out as the Senators kept the ‘Duck IFs cool with 17 whiffs. Roster moves: OF Robert Hassell emerged from witness protection activated from 7-Day I.L.

The loss went to Richard Guasch on a one-out double in the 11th. T.J. White singled twice and walked twice while Max Romero Jr. singled, tripled, and drove in three as every Blue Rocks batter had at least one hit.

Alex Clemmey’s FredNats debut was one to forget: Three walks, three runs, and just 12 strikes on 33 pitches in a 3-0, rain-shortened loss to the Hillcats. Rafael Ramirez had the lone hit for Fredericksburg, a two-out triple in the 2nd while Nate Ochoa drew the only walk. The game, which began an hour late due to rain, was called after a 28-minute wait after the top of the 5th was finished.
