Rochester Red Wings, 31-20, 1st place I.L. East, ½ GA
Rochester is riding a nine-game win streak that has taken the Red Wings from two games behind to leading the I.L. by 1/2 a game. This morning, the series with Syracuse resumes with a late-morning game.
Reading 10 Harrisburg 1
• Lyon (L, 0-1) 4⅓ IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 3K, HR
• Van Scoyoc 3IP, 7H, 5R, 5ER, 0BB, 1K, HR
• M. Brown 1-2, R, 2B
• Lomavita 2-4, 2B
The Fightins broke open a 4-1 game with six-run 8th as they pummeled the Senators in the season opener. Isaac Lyon lost his AA debut, charged with three runs on five hits (one HR) and a walk while striking out three. Harrisburg was held to six hits, including doubles by Chad Lomavita and Marcus Brown. They went 0-for-6 with RISP and left on five baserunners. Roster moves: RHPs Isaac Lyon, Josh Randall promoted from Wilmington; RHP Valentin Linarez placed on Development List.
• Meckley (L, 0-1) 2⅓ IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 2K, HR, HBP
• Biven 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Bazzell 1-2, HBP
• Fitz-Gerald 1-4
Wilmington’s modest three-game win streak came to a screeching halt as the Blue Rocks were shut out, 6-0 on four hits (all singles). RXander Meckley didn’t make it out of the 3rd as the Cyclons spun him for three runs on three hits (one HR) and three walks and two strikeouts to lose his A+ debut. Kevin Bazzell was the sole Blue Rock to reach base twice as he singled in the 2nd and was hit by a pitch in the 8th. Roster moves: RHP Aaron Shortridge reasigned from the FCL.
Delmarva 5 Fredericksburg 3
• Sullivan (L, 1-2) 3IP, 3H, 4R, 4ER, 4BB, 2K, HR
• Huesman 3IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 4K, E
• J. Cruz 2-4, HR, 2RBI
• Dickerson 1-3, R, BB, HR, RBI, 2K
Liam Sullivan dug a 4-0 hole after three innings from which the FredNats could not climb out in a 5-3 loss to the Shorebirds. Sullivan, who has pitched more innings than runs allowed in just five of ten appearances this year, gave up three hits, walked four, and struck out two in 50 pitches and three innings. It was his second loss. All three Fredericksburg runs came via the longball, with Luke Dickerson going solo in the 1st and Juan Cruz hitting a two-run shot in the 7th. Pay no attention to the 20 strikeouts the FredNats hitters piled up with every single batter striking out at least once.
FCL Marlins 13 FCL Nationals 7
• J. Robles 4IP, 6H, 5R, 4ER, 0BB, 1K, HBP
• Frieda (L, 0-1) ⅔ IP, 6H, 5R, 5ER, 0BB, 1K
• D. Hernandez 1-3, 2RBI
• Cerkownyk 1-3, R
The FCL Nationals took advantage of three errors and eight walks to score seven times on just two hits – a single by Daniel Hernandez and a double by Brady Cerkownyk. Alas, the F-Nats pitchers threw in-game BP as the F-Marlins pounded out 15 hits, including six doubles and three triples for 13-7 win. Jean Robles went the first four and was on the hook for five runs (four earned) on six hits and a HBP. The loss went to Colby Frieda, who retired two of eight batters faced and let in five runs. Roster moves: RHPs Adam Bogosian, Noah Millikan, and L.J. Waco assigned from Washington (MLFAs).
