Another day, another sweep for the scorching affiliates. And for good measure, all three won in comeback fashion.
Las Vegas 8 Omaha 6
Rain delayed this one for over two hours in the first so starter Brett Cecil wasn't able to throw a pitch. It was worth the wait for the 51s, though as they scored once in the 8th, three times in the 9th thanks to a Danny Perales triple and twice more in the tenth as Travis Snider broke out with his 1st HR.
Snider was on base five times thanks to the homer and four walks. Brett Lawrie was 3-for-6 while David Cooper and Adam Loewen had two hits a piece.
Willie Collazo started in Cecil's absence and went five innings. Danny Farquhar picked up the win with two perfect innings of relief.
New Hampshire @ New Britain- Postponed
Dunedin 6 Bradenton 4
The D-Jays continued the comeback theme with a three-run ninth of their own thanks to a two-out, three-run homer from Ryan Goins. And really, he was the only guy who did much of anything as he picked up two hits and drove in five.
Ryan Tepera started and went five, allowing four runs on ten hits. Chris Malone was the winner in relief while Wes Etheridge picked up his 14th save to go with a 0.84 ERA.
Bowling Green 9 Lansing 13
Another comeback in this one as the Lugnuts trailed 7-2 after just the second frame. But the Lansing offense came alive shortly thereafter as every Lugnut save Gustavo Pierre had multiple hits. Too many good performances to go through but Carlos Perez was 3-for-6 with a triple, two RBI and three runs scored and a stolen base. Kevin Nolan was 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI while Michael Crouse was 2-for-4 with a double and three driven in.
Daniel Webb started and had a day to forget, lasting just 1.2 frames and allowing seven runs on 8 hits. Casey Lawrence, on the other hand, was excellent in relief going four shutout innings and striking out four. Steve Turnbull picked up his 11th save.
Three Stars:
3rd Star: Travis Snider- 1-for-2, HR, 2 RBI, 4 BB
2nd Star: Carlos Perez- 3-for-6, 3B, 3 R, 2 RBI, SB
1st Star: Ryan Goins- 2-for-4, HR, 5 RBI
