• Franklin 2-4

An early 1-0 lead went buh-bye in the 4th as the IronPigs put up four, then added four more over the next four innings in an 8-2 smelting of the Red Wings. Mitchell Parker was skewered for the first four runs on four hits and two walks over three and 2/3rds to lose for the second time in three starts. Christian “Hey It’s” Franklin and Andrew Pinckney both went 2-for-4 to lead Rochester’s nine-hit, no-walk offense.

Harrisburg 12 Akron 1
• Clemmey 3⅓ IP, 2H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 4K, HR, HBP, 73-42 PIT-K

• Thomas 2-5, 2R, 2B, 3RBI, SB

Harrisburg remains unbeaten after six games as the Senators made foie gras out of the ‘Ducks, 12-1. Alex Clemmey and the 5th inning remain estranged as the 20-y.o. needed 73 pitches to get 10 outs. He only walked two, struck out four, and gave up the Akron run on a home run. Chance Huff was credited with the win as four relievers combined for five and 2/3rds scoreless innings with three walks and eight whiffs. Branden Boissiere was the beer man in a 16-hit parade, led by Max Romero Jr. with a walk, a single, two doubles, and three RBI.

Hudson Valley 2 Wilmington 0

• Hill 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• White 1-2

T.J. White came off the bench and got a single in the 4th. That would be it for the Blue Rocks as the Renegades retrieved their bounty, 2-0. Liam Sullivan lasted just two innings, long enough to give up a run on hit and two walks and take the loss. The Wilmington ‘pen did its job, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over the last six. The Blue Rocks batters did not as they had the one hit, three walks, and 13 strikeouts (only two by youknowwho).
