Four losses, two starting pitchers were shelled, two pitched well. Ricky Romero continued his spiral as he allowed seventeen baserunners in 5.2 innings. Kyle Ginley didn't get an out in the second inning as he was hit hard. Bill Murphy took the loss for the Chiefs in a parent club-like loss despite pitching well. Gregg Zaun homered to account for the Chiefs only run. Trystan Magnuson pitched well for Lansing but Chi-Hung Cheng took the loss. Lansing is still two games ahead of two teams for the first half title with four games left.
Gregg Zaun accounted for half of Syracuse's hits as he went 2-4 on his rehab. Zaun homered in the first inning to deliver all the Chiefs runs.
Bill Murphy pitched well enough to win, two runs allowed in seven innings. One of the Columbus runs was a steal of home by Alex Escobar.
This game was scoreless through four. Ricky Romero dodged a few bullets through four, he gave up five hits and three walks but stranded eight runners. In the fifth Romero left the bases loaded but unfortunately three runs scored as he gave up six singles in the inning. In the sixth Romero walked a couple before allowing a three runs home run. Romero allowed 17 baserunners in 5.2 innings.
New Hampshire scored one run in the fifth with singles by Kyle Phillips, Brian Jeroloman and Scott Campbell. New Hampshire scored another in the sixth when Jacob Butler homered.
New Hampshire had seven hits, Phillips and Campbell had two each. Campbell also walked.
Kyle Ginley was bombed in this game and was gone in the second inning having allowed seven runs. Ginley gave up six hits including one triple, four doubles and a single so he wasn't fooling anyone. Here's hoping there is no physical injury. Paul Phillips followed and allowed three runs to put Dunedin down 10-1 after three innings. Dunedin scored five late runs to make it look closer than it was, JP Arencibia hit his thirteenth home run off Papelbon, Jeremy that is. JP was 2-5 and is hitting .316 on the season. Nate Starner pitched four good innings in relief.
Lansing lost a key game to rival West Michigan. Lansing did score first when Justin Jackson led off with a much needed double and scored on a fielders choice. Trystan Mugnuson started and pitched well, he allowed one run in four innings. Magnuson's June is his best month of the year so far, a mildly promising sign. Chi-Hung Cheng followed Magnuson and immediately walked the first hitter followed by a single and both runners ultimately scored. Cheng gave up another run in the seventh. Lansing were unable to score another run.
Lansing had five hits, no-one had two. Jackson was 1-2 with two walks and a hit by pitch.
