Buffalo 0 Norfolk 1 - 11 innings
This was a pitching duel. Randy Wolf had his best start of the year, just four hits allowed over seven innings. Rob Rasmussen pitched two shutout innings. The bullpen was stretched because these teams played 14 innings on Friday. Bobby Korecky had pitched Friday and was called on in the tenth on Saturday. The tenth was fine but Norfolk pushed across the winning run in the eleventh. That made for two extra inning losses in consecutive days.
The Bisons had seven hits, all singles. Dalton Pompey was 0-3 but he walked twice and was caught stealing. Matt Hague and Brad Glenn had two hits each. Andy Burns was 1-4.
Trenton 4 New Hampshire 5
New Hampshire scored four runs in the first inning but they let Trenton come back to tie the game in the eighth. But in the bottom of the eighth the Fisher Cats produced the winning run. KC Hobson hit a three run home run in the first inning to make it 4-1. In the eighth Emilio Guerrero hit his first home run in AA for the win.
Taylor Cole started and again was OK, but not dominant. He went 5.1 innings and was charged with two runs on four hits with two walks and 5 K's. In the eighth Cory Burns gave up a home run to make it4-3 and then a single. Danny Barnes came out of the bullpen and gave up a couple of hits himself to allow Trenton to tie the game, setting it up for Guerrero. Guerrero, Jon Berti and Dwight Smith each had two hits.
Lakeland 15 Dunedin 1
Justin Shafer is from central Florida and went to the University of Florida. Saturday was his first home start in the FSL and it couldn't have gone much worse. Shafer got only one out while giving up six hits and hitting a batter. Alonzo Gonzalez came on and LB Dantzler made an error plus another hit and after one Dunedin were down 8-0 and in the third they were down 13-0. Jeremy Gabryszwski came out of the bullpen to pitch three innings.
Dunedin's only run came when Matt Dean singled in Dantzler. Dantzler, Derrick Loveless and Dickie Thon each had two hits.
Lansing 4 Great Lakes 5 - 10 innings
Fort Wayne squeezed in the winning run in the tenth off Chase Mallard Mallard was in his fifth inning of work, he did give up eight hits and two runs. Sean Rid-Foley started and went three innings but was charged with three runs. In his first inning he walked a pair before being taken downtown for a three run shot.
