• Franklin 2-4, BB, SB, E

Four Rochester batters reached base with two out in the 9th, scoring one, but couldn’t get the fifth needed to tie as the Red Wings were peeled by the Jumbo Shrimp, 4-3. Kyle Luckham turned in five innings of two-run ball on four hits, no walks, and four whiffs for a no-decision. Andry Lara’s lost season continued with his fifth AAA loss and eighth overall as Jacksonville got to him for two runs on three hits (one HR) over an inning and a 1/3rd. Rochester put 13 runners on base but had only three RISP chances (0-fer, natch) and left on nine baserunners.

Harrisburg 10 Altoona 4
• Clemmey 4⅔ IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, 4K, HR, 90-54 PIT-K
• Knowles (W, 1-0) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K, HBP

• S. Brown 2-4, 2R, BB, 2B, RBI
• Lomavita 2-5, 2R, HR, RBI
• Thomas 2-3, R, RBI, HBP

The Senators broke out for five in the 2nd to erase an early 2-0 deficit as they won for the fourth time in the last five games, 10-4. Alex Clemmey labored through four and 2/3rds innings, giving up all four Curve runs on five hits (one HR) and three walks. Lucas Knowles picked up his first win since April 2024 with two scoreless innings. Phillip Glasser led the 14-hit parade with two singles and a double while Sam Brown also reached base three times with walk, single, and a double.



Greensboro 9 Wilmington 2
• Sthele (L, 6-7) 5⅓ IP, 7H, 5R, 4ER, 2BB, 3K, 2HR
• Cáceres 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Henseler 1-4, R, HR, RBI
• Yepez 1-4, R, HR, RBI

Wilmington extended its losing streak to three (10 of the last 12) in a 9-2 loss to Greensboro. Travis “Sunday” Sthele, who lead the Nats minors in IP at 130, pitched into the 6th for the 14th time this season but lost for the seventh time with five runs allowed on seven hits and two walks. Wyatt Henseler and Juan Yepez both hit solo shots while Jared McKenzie singled to round the Blue Rocks’ three-hit barrage.

Lynchburg 7 Fredericksburg 0
• Sullivan (L, 1-2) 4IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 4K, HR
• Olson 2IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 3K
• Willits 1-3, 2K

Eli Willits has not gone hitless in his seven games as a pro. Perhaps not coincidentally, his ninth hit was the only one in a 7-0 shutout loss to the Hillcats. Alas, the 17-y.o. struck out in his two other PAs on a night where every starter whiffed for a total of 15 on the night. Liam Sullivan took the loss, allowing the first three Lynchburg runs on six hits (one HR) and one walk while striking out four. It was Fredericksburg’s 12th loss in 18 games against Lynchburg.
