Five of eight scheduled games were rained out. Both Florida teams had doubleheaders scheduled after rainouts on Monday but a second day of rain gave them a second day off. The three affiliates who did play all won. Las Vegas wielded the lumber for 16 hits, and benefitted from good middle relief as did New Hampshire. Lance Durham had a big night for Auburn.
This was a typical PCL game, 18 runs and 29 hits between both teams. Davis Romero gave up eleven of those hits, and four runs, in 4.1 innings. Sean Stidfole releived Romero and pitched 2.2 perfect innings to get the win. The 51's scored their 12 runs without a home run, but they did record 9 doubles. Randy Ruiz had three doubles and 3 RBI's. Dave Delucci also had three hits, two doubles, and 3 RBI's. Aaron Mathews and Howie Clark also had three hits each.
Brandon Magee pitched 4.1 innings and gave up three runs. He was pulled after three of the last five hitters doubled. Edgar Estanga pitched 3.2 shutout innings. Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth with one walk allowed.
New Hampshire scored four runs in the fifth, Darin Mastroianni got it started with a walk and with one out the Fisher Cat hitters put together four straight hits with a Brian Dopirak two RBI double the last hit. New Hampshire added an insurance run in the ninth.
Todd Donovan, Adam Calderone and Bryan Kervin had two hits each.
