Lansing had the day off, three teams wish they weren't shut out, and I wish my Internet connection was faster. I should have driven to Syracuse to get the scores; it would have saved time.
Rochester 1 @ Syracuse 0 (Game 1, 7 inn.)
Ten men left on base for Syracuse? Ouch. Jason Scobie went the distance (5 hits, two walks, 4 K's), but he's not what I'd call a prospect.
Rochester 2 @ Syracuse 4 (Game 2, 7 inn.)
A little better. A solo homer from Rob Cosby made it 2-1, Rochester tied it in the next half-inning, then Cosby singled home another in the bottom of sixth. Davis Romero was awarded with a W next to his name after facing six batters and retiring five of them. He also stranded two runners in the top of the fifth.
Portland 6 @ New Hampshire 0
Jesse Litsch is still learning. Ten hits, six runs, two Luis Antonio Jimenez home runs...but no walks. Good sign, I guess. Ryan Patterson went 3-for-4 with a bunch of singles and a stolen base; welcome to the Eastern League, now keep hitting .324 like we expect you to. And yes, I know it's only 11 hits in 34 AB.
Dunedin 5 @ Brevard County 1
Eric Fowler (7 IP) and Connor Falkenbach (2 perfect innings) combined for a well-pitched game. Eric Arnold and Aaron Mathews both had two hits and scored; David Corrente added another two of his own, raising his average to .333.
Tri-City 5 @ Auburn 0
Pass.
Pulaski 4 @ Bluefield 5 (7 inn.)
A walk-off walk? Yup. Pulaski scored three in the top of the seventh, but I guess they should have scored five. Jonathan Jaspe doubled, singled and scored to lead the offense. And I think this was either Game 1 or Game 2 of a doubleheader, but I can't be sure.
