Two players hit grand slam home runs on Sunday. Will Robertson did it in the first inning for Buffalo but it wasn't enough to get a win. Eddie Micheletti did it in the ninth inning for Dunedin and they won by five. Jace Bohrofen had a plain solo home run as Vancouver won. New Hampshire threw the ball around in one inning and that was enough for a loss.

NOTES


There were several lead changes in the Buffalo game but it came down to the eighth inning where both Mason Fluharty and Hayden Juenger were taken deep by Omaha hitters. James Kaprelian had started and gave up four runs in four innings.


Will Robertson hit a grand slam home run in the first inning. Robertson was not in the original lineup but was inserted when Jonatan Clase was removed. The home run was Buffalo's only extra base hit. Alan Roden had three hits, Nathan Lukes two.


New Hampshire had a bad fifth inning where Hartford scored all five of their runs. The runs were unearned thanks to errors by Charles McAdoo and Abdiel Mendoza. There was also a passed ball and a failed fielders choice.


Devonte Brown homered for NH's only run. Yohendrick Pinango had two singles.


In Vancouver Pat Gallagher pitched a one hitter over five innings with seven K's.


The C's used five extra base hits to beat up Everett pitching. Brennan Orf got the scoring started with an RBI generating ground rule double in the second inning. In the fourth Peyton Williams and Nick Goodwin both doubled leading to two runs. Jace Bohrofen homered in the fifth. Jevon Ward's double leading off the sixth set the table for two more runs. Ward was 2-4, Bryce Arnold was 3-3 with a walk and an RBI.


Eddie Micheletti hit a grand slam for Dunedin in the ninth inning to make a one run lead a five run lead. Micheletti also singled twice. Jaden Rudd hit his first home run of the year, a three run shot in the fourth inning. Manuel Beltre was 2-2 with three walks. JR Freethy also waled three times, and singled.


The Jays used six pitchers. Colby Holcombe started and went three innings, one run allowed.
