It has been a bad week on the farm. The affiliates were 0-4 on Tuesday and Thursday and 1-3 on Wednesday. Friday was another 1-3 with Dunedin having the only win. Dunedin have been trying to play two since Wednesday but each day the rains come in the afternoon, delay the start of game one and limit play to just one game.

NOTES


A five run fourth inning sunk Buffalo. Luis Quinones was the victim and the losing pitcher. The Bisons had just five hits.


New Hampshire's game went to extra innings and Anders Tolhurst served up a walk off three run home run in the bottom of the tenth. Devereaux Harrison had started and pitched well, one run allowed in six innings with six K's.


The Fisher Cats had seven hits, they bunched four of them in the seventh inning to score four runs. RJ Schreck doubled in a run then Ryan McCarty hit a two run home run. Later Rainer Nunez scored on an error. Devonte Brown singled in a run in the tenth. Brown and Nunez had two hits each.


Kendry Rojas started for Vancouver. In the first inning he got two quick outs but then Jamari Baylor made an error. Then Rojas gave up a home run followed by three hits and the C's were down 4-0. That score didn't last long as Jace Bohrofen hit a three run home run in the top of the second. However Rojas gave up another run in the second, and the third, and finally three in the fifth. It was a really bad night for Kendry, eleven hits and nine runs in 4.1 innings.


Vancouver had just four hits in the game.


Adam Macko started for the D Jays and did well. He went three shutout innings with five K's. Gilberto Batista followed and he went five innings. He had one bad inning where he gave up a three run home run. Otherwise he was excellent, five innings total, five K's and three runs allowed.


The Jays had eleven hits, they bunched eight of them between the number eight hitter and the lead off hitter. The number nine hitter, Yhoangel Aponte, was 3-4, lead off Nick Mitchell was 3-4 with a double, while number eight Brock Tibbets was 2-3 with a double and a sac fly.
