OFF DAY

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5 Rochester 3 – GM. 1
• Shuman 5⅓ IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 5K, PO @ 1B
• Weigel (BS, 2; L, 3-2) 1⅓ IP, 3H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 1K, 3HR
• Cluff 2-3, R, HR, 3RBI, CS
• House 2-4, 2B

All eight runs scored via the longball, with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre hitting three in the 7th to walk off Rochester, 5-3. The implosion turned Seth Shuman’s start of one run on five and a 1/3 innings into a no-decision. Patrick Weigel gave up four runs on the aforementioned home runs and a two-out walk for the blown-save-loss. Jackson Cluff singled and hit the Earl Weaver Special that gave the Red Wings an early 3-0 lead. Brady House hit the only other extra-base hit (for either team), a one-out double in the 1st.

Rochester 8 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5 – GM. 2
• Sampson 3IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 1K, HBP
• Sinclair (W, 1-1) 1⅓ IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 1K
• C. Romero (SV, 1) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, 3-0 IR-S
• Lipscomb 3-4, 2R, 2B, 2RBI, SB
• Hassell 3-4, R, 3RBI
• Lile 2-3, R, CI

In the nightcap, the Red Wings scored three in the 1st, three in the 5th, and two in the 7th to hold off the RailRiders, 8-5. Newcomer Adrian Sampson got the spot start and tossed three scoreless innings with two hits, one walk, one Robles, and one whiff. Jack Sinclair was credited for the win despite giving up three runs on three hits and a walk over an inning and a 1/3rd. Carlos Romero stranded three in the 6th and worked around a leadoff single in the 7th to get the save. Trey Lipscomb and Robert Hassell both went 3-for-4 and combined for three runs and five RBI to power the Rochester offense. Roster moves: RHPs Eduardo Salazar, Zach Brzykcy optioned by Washington.

Harrisburg 9 Richmond 0
• Saenz (W, 2-3) 5⅔ IP, 6H, 0R, 2BB, 2K
• Mejia (H, 1) 1IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• V. Peña 3-4, 2R, 3B, HR, 4RBI, E
• De La Rosa 2-3, 2R, BB, 2B, SB, OF assist @ 2B
• Stubbs 2-3, 3R, BB, 3RBI, E

The Senators administered another paternity test on the Flying Squirrels, shutting them out, 9-0 on eight hits. Dustin Saenz led the quintet of pitchers with five and 2/3rds scoreless on six hits and two walks and two whiffs for his second win (perhaps not coincidentally against Richmond). Viandel Peña scored twice and drove in four but fell a double shy of the cycle to lead Harrisburg’s 11-hit parade, followed by C.J. Stubbs with two singles, three runs scored, and three RBI.



Hudson Valley 12 Wilmington 1
• Sthele (L, 1-2) 4⅔ IP, 10H, 7R, 7ER, 3BB, 5K, WP
• Glavine 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Brown 1-2, R, 2B, 2BB
• White 1-3, SF, RBI, 2K

Wilmington took an early 1-0 lead and then took the rest of the game off on offense as Hudson Valley blasted the Blue Rocks, 12-1. Travis “Sunday” Sthele got taken to church for seven runs on 10 hits over a bullpen-saving four and 2/3rds. He walked three and struck out five. Marcus Brown led off thegame with a double, took third on a passed ball, and scored on a T.J. White sacrifice fly. White singled in the 6th for second and final hit as the rest of the lineup went 0-for-25 with two walks and 11 K’s.

Fredericksburg 4 Lynchburg 1
• Polanco (W, 2-2) 6IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 3K
• Bloebaum (SV, 2) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Peoples 2-3, R, 2B
• Ross 2-4, 2R, 2HR, 2RBI

Jackson Ross homered twice while the FredNats schooled the Hillcats, 4-1 on Education Day. Bryan Polanco won his second contest and turned in his first quality start with six innings of one-run ball on two hits, no walks, and three K’s. Adam Bloebaum worked around a walk in the 9th to earn the save, his second. Fredericksburg piled up ten hits total with Ross, Nick “Power to the” Peoples (single, double), Cristhian Vaquero (single, triple), and Randal Diaz each having multiple hits.

FCL Marlins 6 FCL Nationals 5 (10 inn.)
• Stuart 1⅔ IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 5K
• Farias 4IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 8K
• Otanez (L, 0-1) 1IP, 0H, 2R, 0ER, 1BB, 1K
• E. Soto 1-3, 2BB, 2B, RBI
• Dickerson 1-3, R, BB, RBI, E

The FCL Nationals erased a 3-0 first-inning deficit with a four-run 5th but fell in extras, 6-5 to the FCL Marlins. Rehabbing Tyler Stuart “worked on some stuff” for three runs on three hits and two walks over an inning and 2/3rds. Victor Farias made his first appearance in a year and struck out a career-best eight over four innings. The loss went to Johan Otanez for letting in two unearned runs in the 10th. Elian Soto doubled and walked twice while Luke Dickerson singled and walked twice to lead the F-Nat offense, which struck out 15 times and drew seven walks total. Roster moves: MiLB Rehab – RHP Tyler Stuart assigned from Rochester; OF Teo Banks assigned from Fredericksburg.
