Eugene 7 Vancouver 6 (12 Innings)
Vancouver, BC - The C's were swept by the Cubs affiliate in five straight, blowing leads of 5-0 and 6-2 in the process, to end the first half of the Northwest League season. There were seven errors in this game, five by Vancouver, in a sloppy four-hour game. Nate Abel (0-2), who may have been in line to start tonight in Everett, had to come into this game and allowed the winning run on two singles and a walk with one K. Abel deflected a ball that was headed to first base and that brought in the tie-breaking run.

Smith gave up three runs of his own, in 1-2/3 innings on two hits and a walk but punched out two. One run was unearned after a pair of errors by Deiferson Barreto at second and one by Smith himself. Griffin Glaude gave up the tying run in the eighth but pitched a shutout ninth. He allowed two hits and a walk with one whiff. Jackson McClelland was as awesome as his mound music, Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight", by tossing two scoreless frames of one-hit ball, striking out three.
Joshua Palacios had a single, three walks and an RBI Monday.
With the San Diego Chicken coaching first base, the C's scored three times in the third on an RBI base hit by Joshua Palacios, a sacrifice bunt from D.J. McKnight and a double by Jacob Anderson.

The C's had chances to win it in extra innings. Barreto lined out to second to strand a Palacios walk at third and Barreto flied out to center to leave the bases loaded in the 12th.

Woodman and Bryan Lizardo were both 0-for-5 with a walk.
Kingsport 4 Bluefield 3
Kingsport, TN - The Mets won this one in the bottom of the ninth. A throwing error by Jose Nova (0-1) that missed the mark at first base allowed the winning run to score with two outs.

Juliandry Higuera pitched the first four frames, conceding two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks with a pair of K's. Andrew Deramo allowed a run on three hits but punched out two over two innings.

They regained the lead two innings later when Jones singled, went all the way to third on a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. base hit and an error in left field before scoring on a Knight groundout. Knight and Jones led the way with two-hit games while Guerrero had a walk to reach base twice. Reggie Pruitt singled and stole a base. Bradley Jones doubled but whiffed three times. Matt Morgan was 0-for-4 with a hat trick as well. Earl Burl III drew a free pass.

Daniels singled home the other. Kevin Vicuna singled in the third and eventually crossed the plate on an error before adding an RBI groundout in the fifth to cash in a Miguel Almonte triple. Owen Spiwak doubled in the sixth and would advance the other 180 feet on a passed ball and a wild pitch before parking one over the fence in right field for a solo homer in the eighth. Alfredo Bohorquez singled, was hit by a pitch and stole two bases at the top of the order and Vicuna also swiped one. Norberto Obeso singled and walked while Jacob and Daniels both drew a free pass.Maximo Castillo (1-1, 5.89) shook off an unearned run after a fielding error by Sterling Guzman at third to start the game by pitching five innings of two-hit ball, walking nobody and striking out five.

DSL Padres 4 DSL Blue Jays 0
Boca Chica, DR - The Padres got to Meliton Reyes (3-1, 2.31) for two runs in the first and that was more than enough against the Jays' punchless offence.

Reyes lasted four innings, walking three and whiffing six. Oscar Brito gave up a run on a hit and three walks while punching out two over two frames while Juan Bautista was burned for a run on three hits and a walk over his two innings.
