Long ride with a tight deadline so it’s abbreviated writeups this morning. Went to the game in Phlly last night and saw both Bryce Harper and Trea Turner homer. Why can’t we get players like that? Oh, wait…

Rochester 6 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 4
• Peralta 5IP, 5H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 4K, HR, 2WP
• Harris (W, 2-2) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 2K
• G. Moreno (SV, 8) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• García 3-5, 2R, 2B
• Witt 2-3, BB, 2B
• Millas 2-4, R, BB, 2SB, PO @ 2B

Rochester rallied for three in the 6th to tie, three in the 7th to go ahead, and held on for 6-4 win. Roster moves: UT Paul Witt reassigned from Fredericksburg; RHP Joan Adon recalled to Washington; OF Derek Hill placed on the 7-Day I.L.

Erie 8 Harrisburg 0
• Herz (L, 0-1) 2⅓ IP, 3H, 5R, 4ER, 2BB, 4K, HR, WP
• Knowles 3IP, 2H, 0R, 1BB, 1K
• Harris 1-3
• Arruda 1-3

The Senators were shut out for the ninth time this season, mustering just four singles in an 8-0 loss to Erie.

Wilmington 2 Hudson Valley 1 (10 inn.)
• A. Lara 4IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 4K, HBP
• Da. Díaz (W, 1-4) 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Boisserie 1-1, RBI
• Infante 0-2, BB, RBI

Branden Boisserie’s RBI single in his first at-bat coming off the bench as a defensive replacement was the game-winner as Wilmington edged Hudson Valley, 2-1 in 10 innings.

Salem 11 Fredericksburg 7 (10 inn.)
• Susana 4IP, 5H, 5R, 5ER, 2BB, 2K, HR, 2HBP
• Hall (L, 1-1) 2IP, 2H, 4R, 3ER, 2BB, 1K, HR(GS)
• Thomas 3-4, R, SB(40)]
• Pinckney 2-5, R, E
• Cruz 1-4, R, HR(GS), 4RBI
• Crews 0-5, K

The FredNats rallied from 7-0 down to tie it and had the winning run cut down at the plate to end the 9th. In the 10th, Salem blasted a grand slam after taking two walks to win, 11-7. Roster moves: OF Dylan Crews reassigned from the FCL.



FCL Astros 7 FCL Nationals 1 – COMP.
• Leon (L, 0-1) 3IP, 6H, 4R, 3ER, 1BB, 1K, WP
• Fortunato 3IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 4BB, 1K, HR
• Ribalta 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Ju. Garcia 2-3
• E. Santana 1-3, RBI

The FCL Astros picked up where they left off on Tuesday and teed off some more on the FCL Nationals moundsmen for a 7-1 win.

FCL Astros 3 FCL Nationals 2 – GM. 2
• Sullivan 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• N. Gomez (BS, 1; L, 3-1) 1IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 2K
• Cox 2-3, R
• Vaquero 1-3, R

The good news is that the F-Nats batted a 1.000 with RISP. The bad news is that was 1-for-1… and it wasn’t a home run as the F-Astros rallied in the late innings for a 3-2 win to sweep the de facto doubleheader. Roster moves: RHP Orlando Ribalta assigned from Harrisburg for MiLB rehab.

DSL Nationals 6 DSL Twins 5
• R. Ramirez 2⅓ IP, 1H, 1R, 1ER, 3BB, 3K
• L. Acevedo (W, 1-1) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Solano 2-2, 2BB, 2RBI, SB, CS
• Batista 1-2, 2R, 2BB, 4SB
• Liriano 1-3, R, BB, RBI, E

The long journey to 8th place is over as the ten-win DSL Nationals rallied for four in the bottom of the 7th to walk off the nine-win DSL Twins.

10 Commments

  1. Lucas Knowles has been good .
    Dylan Crews incredible eyes deserve to be in the two hole combined with his hit
    Set .
    I wonder if Destin Hood saw a little bit of himself in Pinkney .
    What’s the latest ETA on Jackson T
    Ronald Herrera coming back to org next season ??
    Seth Shuman another what if …

  2. Glad to see Ribalta back. I am old-school enough to think a hard throwing 6-7 reliever might have some value, if he can stay healthy.

    Also good to see all the college arms in Florida make their pro debuts. Hopefully we see Sykora, soon.

    Nice start from Lara. He is from the Adon School of consistency. Alas, it appears “O” Susana might be from the school, too.

    For a guy supposedly drafted for signability, Pinckney has been a pleasant surprise so far.

    Will we ever see Henry or Bennett again?

    Making the drive from DC to F-burg today! My second different minor league stadium in 2 weeks. (Is this what retirement will be like?)

  3. Pinkney has received good reports from all that I have read and heard. he still got $500K of about $630 slot value.

    Armando Cruz with a two out grand slam to tie the game last night, Thomas thrown out at the plate with Dylan Crews on deck. it could have been an epic debut

    1. Makes one wonder what advice Crews might volunteer to guys like Cruz .

  4. Alvarez keeps the consistently esecially versus a tough Yankee affiliate
    5 Ks on Spencer Jones and Grant Richardson
    Sure would be a nice journey for Alvarez to give Nats a second ML lefty in rotation in future
    JR did not fare as well versus his Yankee affiliate foe

  5. Revision :
    Gray , Irwin , Gore , Cavilli , Adon , Alvarez
    ( Corbin and Williams eat IPs for next season – maybe )
    Tetrault ? Lara , theophile? Oh Susana
    Oh Henry oh Henry heal Oh Henry )
    Sykora , Sullivan , oh heal A. Ramirez !!
    Some of these pitchers need a wavwatch to heal and move forward .

    1. And toss Thaddeus Ward in that mix behind Adon.
      Somebody should guesstimate what a possible April 2024 Harris burg rotation might look like and Wilmington.
