Sunday’s News & Notes

Lehigh Valley 10 Rochester 1
• Lara (L, 0-1) 3⅔ IP, 11H, 9R, 9ER, 1BB, 2K, HR,
• Pilkington 2IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 2K
• Yepez 1-4, R, 2B
• Garrett 1-3, 2B

Juan Yepez’s leadoff double in the 7th followed by a pair of groundouts avoided a shutout in a 10-1 Rochester loss to Lehigh Valley – the Red Wings’ fourth straight defeat. Andry Lara was pounded for nine runs on eleven hits (one HR) and a walk over three and 2/3rds innings. He struck out two. Stone Garrett had the only other extra-base hit (double) as the Rochester batters piled on the ‘Pigs pitchers for five (5) hits and drew one walk. Brady House was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the 6th. There was no mention of an injury during the broadcast.

Erie 10 Harrisburg 1
• Saenz ⅔ IP, 2H, 4R, 2ER, 3BB, 1K, HR, 34-17 PIT-K
• Gomez 1⅔ IP, 4H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 2K, HR, 3-2 IR-S
• Glasser 1-4, 2B
• Stubbs 1-4, R

Thanks to a two-base defensive indifference, the Senators were able to break up the shutout on a grounder to 1st in a 10-1 plundering by the SeaWolves. Harrisburg starter Dustin Saenz retired two of seven batters before he was lifted. He gave up four runs (two earned) on two hits (one HR) and three walks while somehow striking out one. Miguel Gomez was only slightly less ineffective as he retired five of 11 batters but gave up an Earl Weaver special and four runs total on four hits and a walk. Phillip Glasser doubled to break up the no-hitter while Daylen Lile singled in the 5th and C.J. Stubbs led off the 9th and scored the lone Sens run.

Brooklyn 15 Wilmington 1
• Cornelio (L, 0-1) 2⅔ IP, 7H, 5R, 5ER, 3BB, 4K, 2WP
• S. Vasquez 2IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 4K
• Boisserie 3-4, 2B, RBI
• King 2-3, R, BB

Seaver King walked with two outs in the top of the 1st and scored ahead of Branden Boisserie’s double to give Wilmington an early 1-0 lead. Alas, Riley Cornelio and the ‘pen were unable to make that stand up as Brooklyn had their way with them for 15 runs and 20 hits. Boisserie and King both singled twice while Armando Cruz and Matt Suggs each had a single to round out the Blue Rocks’ seven-hit tally.

Carolina 6 Fredericksburg 4
• Meckley (L, 0-1) 3⅓ IP, 4H, 4R, 4ER, 5BB, 6K
• Baldo 1⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K, 3-0 IR-S
• Tavares 2-4, 2R, 2B
• Quintana 2-4

The FredNats rallied for three in the 5th to cut a 4-0 deficit to 4-3, but couldn’t get over the hump as they dropped Game Two to the Mudcats, 6-4. Fredericksburg starter Andrew Meckley gave up four runs on four hits and five walks over three and a 1/3rd innings. He struck out six while suffering the loss. Carlos Tavares connected for the FredNats’ sole extra-base hit while Cristhian Vaquero and Roismar Quintana both singled twice to pace the Fredericksburg offense.
