Four affiliates scored 8 runs or more each and they all won. Syracuse scored two, and almost won.
Syracuse 2 @ Ottawa 4
Mark
Redman went 6 solid innings, but the Chief bullpen couldn't make a 2-1
lead stand up. The Chiefs used small ball to take the lead,
scoring a run in the first on a Wayne Lydon single, a stolen base and a
Mike Vento RBI single and another in the sixth the same way, with
Sergio Santos stealing the base and Robinson Diaz singling him
home. Jamie Vermilyea held the fort for Redman in the seventh,
but Scott Sauerbeck gave up a run in the eighth, and Blaine Neal
watched from the mound Brennan King's 2 run walk-off homer in the
bottom of the ninth. Redman allowed 1 earned run on 7 hits and 1
walk with 3 strikeouts. Vento stroked 3 hits for Syracuse.
New Hampshire 10 @ Altoona 5
The
Fisher Cats stroked 6 extra-base hits among their 11 on the night to
capitalize on 3 Altoona errors and work their way to double digits on
the scoreboard. Ryan Patterson singled, doubled and hit a
sacrifice fly to drive in 3, Rob Cosby drove in 2 with a couple of
doubles and Dustin Majewski tripled in two. Eric Fowler escaped
after 5 innings, having allowed 3 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks. Seth
Overbey, Tracy Thorpe and Jesse Carlson finished up, with Thorpe's 3
up- 3 down eighth including 2 strikeouts worth special mention.
Palm Beach 0 @ Dunedin 8
Dunedin
pounded out 11 hits and drew 8 walks in an 8-0 whitewash. Adrian
Martin started and went 5 innings of 1 hit ball, walking no one and
striking out 4. Billy Carnline and Conor Falkenbach finished off
the shutout. The top of the order was productive, with Anthony
Hatch homering and walking twice and Chris Gutierrez also reaching base
thrice. Jesus Gonzalez doubled twice and walked in 4 trips and drove in
a couple of runs.
Peoria 4 @ Lansing 12
The
Lugnuts put up a sweet dozen on 18 hits, with everyone getting at least
one. Sean Shoffit and Scott Campbell homered, while Matthew Lane
and Jonathan Jaspe each had 4 hits. The game was closer than the final
score. The game was tied at 2 after 4 and 1/2 innings. The
Lugs went ahead on an RBI double from Chris Emanuele and a Travis
Snider RBI single, and then put the game away on Jonathan Diaz' 3 run
double in the sixth. Kyle Ginley started and went 4 innings,
allowing 1 earned run on 4 hits and 4 walks with 9 strikeouts.
Po-Hsuan Keng, Chris Reddout and Edward Rodriguez followed.
Auburn 12 @ Jamestown 4
There
must have been a sale on at the bakery, as the Doubledays took 12
too. Auburn took a 3-2 lead to the 7th inning, but scored 4
highlighted by triples from Adam Calderone and Manny Rodriguez and then
put the game away with a Ben Zeskind grand slam in the eighth. Mark
Rzepczynski was the beneficiary, as he went 5 innings and gave up
1 earned run on 2 hits and 3 walks while striking out 7and picking off
a runner. Shawn Scobee hit his 3rd homer in 2 days in the ninth. Ryan
Bird and Drew Taylor finished up, with Bird's 3 innings of solid work
(only a solo homer, no walks and three strikeouts) deserving of polite
applause from the netizens.
