Rochester Red Wings, 27-18, 1st Place I.L. East, 2½ Lg. GB – 65-53 Overall
The meaninglessness of the International League’s divisions is why Rochester is in 1st place but trails Columbus in the 2nd half race by two and a half games. This week the Red Wings travel to Pennsylvania to play Lehigh Valley for five night games and a day game on Sunday.
Harrisburg Senators, 18-27, T4th place, 11GB, E.L. Southwest – 56-58 Overall
The Senators visit Akron this week with a day game today. There are whispers that Tyler Stuart may be promoted to Rochester, which may also mean that Brad Lord will miss a turn in the rotation after taking a ball off his right forearm on Saturday. Meanwhile, Harrisburg is riding a five-game win streak that has brought them out of the cellar for the first time since July.
Wilmington Blue Rocks, 20-27, 6th Place, 5GB, Sally Lg. North – 51-62 Overall
Last-place Wilmington heads up I-95 to upstate NY to play the first-place Hudson Valley Renegades for seven, including a doubleheader on Thursday. The Blue Rocks dropped five of six to the Cyclones but somehow remain in striking distance of the division title with three weeks left to play.
Fredericksburg Nationals, 29-19, 1st Place, 2GA, C.L. North – 58-44 Overall
Fredericksburg broke even for the second straight home series, which could prove costly with no more games left against the two closest challengers. This week, it’s six night games against Columbia.

The D-Jays spun two in the 6th to take a 5-4 lead and plattered four more in 8th to extended it to 9-4. This being the DSL, the D-Nats got six in the bottom of the 8th and somehow didn’t blow it in the 9th for a 10-9 win. Marlon De La Cruz went the first three and allowed three runs on three hits and… wait for it… three walks. He struck out six. The win went to Jose Sanchez for getting the last out of the 8th (after letting in both inherited runners) and working around a leadoff single in the 9th. Dashyll Tejada and Diego Hernandez both singled twice, walked once, and scored twice to lead the D-Nats attack. Angel Feliz was named the DSL Player of the Week after going 10-for-23 with six runs scored, a double, a triple, a homer, two RBI, and four SB.
