August 17, 2026
Team Yesterday Today Pitching Probables

Harrisburg Cancelled OFF DAY N/A
Wilmington Lost, 5-2 OFF DAY N/A
Fredericksburg Won, 11-2 OFF DAY N/A
DSL Nationals OFF DAY vs. DSL Giants Black, 11am

Rochester 7 Charlotte 5
• Z. Kent 2⅔ IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 1BB, 3K, HR
• Sinclair (W, 5-2) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 2K, 1-0 IR-S

• Pineda 2-4, 2R, HR, 2RBI
• Glasser 2-4, R, BB, 2B, RBI

Rochester erased a 3-0 deficit with a three-run 2nd then added two more to take a 5-3 lead and held serve to win the series finale, 7-5 and take the series, 4-2. Zak Kent’s name came up in the magic-8 ball and was on the mound first, but was ineffective. He gave up three runs on four hits (one HR) and a walk while striking out three over two and 2/3rds innings. Jack Sinclair got the last out of the 3rd and cordero’d through the 4th with two walks and a hit. Seven of the ten Red Wings hits went for extra bases with Trey Lipscomb (25), Seaver King (9), and Leandro Pineda (5) going deep while King, Phillip Glasser, Riley Adams, and Max Romero Jr. each had a double. Roster moves: RHP Paxton Schultz activated from 7-Day I.L.

Richmond vs. Harrisburg – CNCLD
Rain claimed the finale between the Senators and the Flying Squirrels. Because the two teams do not meet again in the regular season, the game will not be made up.

Hudson Valley 5 Wilmington 2
• Susana (L, 0-1) 1⅔ IP, 3H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 4K
• Fischer 4⅓ IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 1K
• Rombach 3-3, 2E
• Banks 1-4, R, HR(5), RBI

Jarlin “Oh” Susana didn’t make it out of the 2nd as Hudson Valley piled on for five runs and cruised to a 5-2 win in the series finale. Susana was charged with the first four runs on three hits and a walk with Jackson Dannelly letting in both inherited runners and one of his own while getting the last out of the 2nd. Nate Rombach had three hits and two errors while Teo Banks hit his fifth HR to highlight the Wilmington offense.



Fredericksburg 11 Fayetteville 2
• Harmon 3IP, 2H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 3K
• Colon (W, 1-0) 2⅓ IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• R. Ramirez 3-4, 2R, 2HR(6), SF, 6RBI
• Williams 3-5, 2R, 2B, HR, RBI
• Vaquero 2-4, 2R, BB, HR, 3RBI
• Tejeda 1-4, BB, SB

The FredNats finally got some pitching as they knocked the Woodpeckers from their tree, 11-2 to break a five-game losing streak. Landon Harmon gave up an unearned on two hits and a walk over three innings while striking out three. Leodarlyn Colon got the win as the most effective reliever. Rafael Ramirez Jr. drove in six with a single, two homers, and a sac fly while Christhian Vaquero singled, walked, and homered and drove in three to push his RBI total to 99 in 230 Low-A games.

DSL Nationals, 14-38, 7th DSL South, 19GB
The DSL Nationals took four of five last week to clinch not having the DSL’s worst record in 2026. Today is the D-Nats’ final home game this season, tomorrow their final road game.

    Of some 3500 minor leaguers to have batted this season, Trey Lipscomb’s 25 HR is 19th most (interestingly Devin’s brother Hunter Fitz-Gerald and recently traded away Boston Smith are two of those 18 ahead of him).

    He’s making a serious push alongside King to be the next heir to SS in DC. I definitely didn’t see either bring seriously in consideration in March.

    Also Cristhian Vaquero has proven me wrong. After getting sent to the FCL late into their season, and playing miserably, I thought his season would end early.

    Since that demotion (or undisclosed rehab?) he’s been fantastic, hitting .368/.429/.684. Still, this is his 4th (!) season in Fredericksburg, and turning 22 in a few weeks, he needs to show he can take the step up.
