NOTES
Four runs on 13 hits for Buffalo. Tanner Morris got the scoring started with a solo home run. Spencer Horwitz was 3-4 with two doubles. Cam Eden also had two doubles. Rafael Lantigua, Davis Schneider and Wynton Bernard had two hits each.
Zach Thompson pitched well, just one run over 5.2 innings. Junior Fernandez pitched two innings for the save.
New Hampshire won behind some good pitching. Paxton Schultz struck out nine over five innings. With a 3.30 ERA, and striking out more than a hitter per inning, Schultz could get a shot at AAA soon. Nick Fraze just came off the IL and he went 1.2 innings. Connor Cooke went 1.1 and Mason Fluharty had a 1-2-3 ninth.
Two of the four NH runs came on sac flies. Damiano Palmegiani didn't need a sac fly, he homered. He added a single. Orelvis doubled and walked. Leo Jimenez and Phil Clarke each had two hits.
Vancouver had just four hits in their game and so Rafael Sanchez, who pitched well, had to take the loss. Sanchez had his best start for Vancouver. He went 5.1 innings and gave up two runs. He struck out five.
Dunedin outhit Vancouver 7-6 but lost 4-1. Jean Arnaez, who is getting a chance to play since Peyton Williams was promoted, was 2-3 with a walk and is hitting .333. Arnaez is listed as 5'9" which is small for a first baseman.
Kendry Rojas started and took the loss. Zach Pop and Matt Peacock each pitched a clean inning for their rehab.
