Notes
Stevie Berman got the Herd rumbling with a grand slam off former Blue Jay T.J. Zeuch, one of five Bisons to collect two hits. Cam Eden homered and tripled and Damiano Palmegiani connected for his first Triple-A home run. Rafael Lantigua and Addison Barger also had two hits with Barger getting a double. Orelvis Martinez and Leo Jiménez were also on base twice with a hit with Martinez walking and Jiménez getting plunked. Andrew Bash walked four batters and struck out three over five no-hit frames for the win.
Riley Tirotta belted his seventh homer of the day for New Hampshire FC. Rainer Nuñez had two hits, including a three-run double. Michael Dominguez gave up three runs over four innings, including a homer, and walked three with three whiffs. Adrian Hernández struck out three in two shutout innings with one walk. Juan Nuñez walked two but struck out two over 1-1/3 shutout innings. Joe Jones gave up the three-run homer in the 11th for the walk-off loss.
The C's managed to end a five-game losing skid despite going just 3-for-18 with runners in scoring position and leaving 12 men on base. Adam Macko was a big reason why those stats did not come back to haunt them as he earned his fifth win of the year. Dasan Brown and Jommer Hernández had a hit, a walk, a hit by pitch and a stolen base each out of the number one and nine spots in the batting order. Josh Kasevich had an RBI double and two walks but was pinch-hit for by Angel Del Rosario, who got his first hit in a C's uniform. Seventh-round pick Nick Goodwin had a pinch-hit walk in his Vancouver debut. Gabby Martinez added a two-run single.
Edward Duran had the lone two-hit game for the D-Jays. Manuel Beltre had a hit but Tucker Toman was 0-for-4 with the hat trick while Dunedin whiffed 14 times in total. Connor O'Halloran was charged with the loss after two innings of two-run with a 3-3 K/BB total. Josh Mollerus struck out three of the five batters he faced in 1-2/3 shutout innings.
