Indianapolis 6 Rochester 2
• Tice (L, 1-1) 2IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 1K
• Alston 2⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 2K
• House 3-4, RBI
• Pinckney 1-4, 3B, 2K
The Red Wings dropped their fifth straight, 6-2 to the Indians. Ty Tice was the opener and the loser as he gave up two runs in his second inning of work and Rochester only got as close as 3-2 after a two-run 8th after RBI singles from Brady House and Stone Garrett. Indianapolis put the game away with a three-run 8th off Jordan Weems. House led the Red Wings hit column with three singles while Riley AAAAdams reached base twice with a walk and a single. Roster moves: RHP Tyler Stuart placed on the 7-Day I.L.; RHP Daison Acoasta reassigned from Harrisburg.
Reading 3 Harrisburg 1
• Lara (L, 9-7) 5IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 5K, HBP
• Sinclair 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Arruda 1-2, 2BB
• Lile 1-4, R, HR, RBI
Andry Lara’s quest for his 10th AA win fell short with an “L” in Harrisburg’s 3-1 loss to Reading. The 21-y.o. Venezuelan gave up all three Fightin runs on eight hits over five frames, walking none, hitting a batter, and striking out five. J.T. Arruda was the sole Senator to reach base twice while Daylen Lile homered in the 1st to prevent the shutout.
Fredericksburg 5 Carolina 2
• Sykora 5IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 9K, HBP, PO @ 1B
• Meckley (W, 1-0) 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Arguelles (SV, 1) 1IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Green 1-3, 2R, HR, RBI, 2K, HBP, SB
• Bazzell 1-3, R, BB, RBI, PB
It’s hard to say with a straight face that Fredericksburg won this versus Carolina giving it away again. Nevertheless, the FredNats will returning to the Mills Cup for the first time since 2018 with a 3-1 decision over the Mudcats. Travis Sykora struck out nine and put three baserunners over his obligatory five innings and left with a 1-0 lead. Bubba Hall was lit up for both Carolina runs in the 6th but that was forgotten when Elijah Green ambushed an offspeed pitch to lead off the 7th to tie the game at 2-2.
Fredericksburg threatened in the 8th getting two runs into scoring position with a Christhian Vaquero single and a Jorgelys Mota walk followed by a Kelvin Diaz sacrifice. Alas, Brenner Cox’s line drive to short turned into an inning-ending double play. After another 1-2-3 inning from Alex Mackley, Carolina melted down in the 9th, loading the bases with an HBP (Green) and back-to-back walks, then unloading them on a wild pitch, a single ny Kevin Bazzell, and a Brandon Pimentel sac fly.
Anthony Arguelles did his best to return the favor, giving up two singles and a walk, but cordero’d out of trouble to save the game. The FredNats will play the winner of tonight’s Game 3 between the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and the reigning (since 2021) Carolina League champs, the Charleston RiverDogs.
