Rochester got homers from José Tena and ace reliever J.T. Arruda to build a 5-2 lead that the bullpen held for a 5-4 win. Chase Solesky returned to the rotation and went the first four, allowing two runs on three hits and a week.

Chesapeake 3 Harrisburg 2
• Clemmey 6IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, 6K, HR, HBP, WP

• King 2-5, R
• Made 1-5, 2RBI

The Senators tied the game at 2-2 in the 3rd and then were shut out the rest of the way, enabling the BaySox to win in extras, 3-2. It was Harrisburg’s fifth straight loss. Alex Clemmey turned in his first AA quality start with two runs let in on a homer and three walks over six innings. He was rewarded with a no-decision as the Sens were held to six singles and seven walks. Harrisburg was 2-for-13 with RISP and struck out 16 times, with Branden Boisseries fitted for a golden sombrero and Keibert Ruiz wore the silver. After retiring the first two batters in the 10th, Dustin Saenz gave up back-to-back singles to take the loss, his seventh. Roster moves: RHP Jarlin Susana placed on the 7-Day I.L.



Wilmington 2 Aberdeen 1
• Sthele (W, 7-7) 8⅔ IP, 7H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 7K
• Bollenbacher (SV, 1) ⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Dugas 1-1, R, 2BB
• Nunez 1-1, SB

Travis “Sunday” Sthele came within one out and 90′ of his third shutout, but would have to settle for his seventh win and ninth quality start as Wilmington edged Aberdeen, 2-1. Sthele allowed a one-out triple in the 9th and let in the IronBirds sole run on a sacrifice fly. Matt Bollenbacher came on and worked around an error to pick up the save, his first of the season. The Blue Rocks got both runs in the 6th on a wild pitch and an RBI single by Cortland Lawson. Gavin Dugas, T.J. White. and Teo Banks each walked twice as Wilmington collected seven singles and left on 12 baserunners.

Fredericksburg 4 Carolina 3 (10 inn.)
• Sullivan 5IP, 6H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 2K, HR
• Baldo (W, 8-2) 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 1K, 3-1 IR-S
• R. Diaz 4-4, R, HR, 3RBI, OF assist @ HP
• Dickerson 2-3

The FredNats rallied for two in the bottom of the 9th to tie and plated the free runner in the 10th to win, 4-3. The win reduced Fredericksburg’s magic number to five. Liam Sullivan turned in five innings of one-run ball on six hits (one HR) and a walk while striking out two. Merrick Baldo stranded two of three in the 9th, then pitched a scoreless 10th to get his organization-leading eighth win. Randal Diaz singled three times, homered, and drove in three—including a two-run single with one out in the 9th—while Luke Dickerson singled twice to lead the FredNats attack. Roster moves: LHP Merritt Beeker placed on the 7-Day I.L.
