Dunedin had just three hits but they scored four runs and won the game. Arjun Nimmala homered again. Buffalo, New Hampshire and Vancouver lost. Buffalo had six hits while New Hampshire and Vancouver four each. That totals 17 hits between four teams.
It hasn't been a good start to the second half at the top of the system. The major league club has sucked players out for sure but even so it looks ugly. The Bisons are 4-11 while New Hampshire are 3-10. Vancouver did start the second half with a big winning streak and are at 14-4. Dunedin have been playing the better recently and their record is 10-7. At the bottom of the system the FCL Jays are 10-37, the DSL team is 14-11.

NOTES
Paolo Espino started for Buffalo and was charged with four runs in four innings. Three other pitchers were used and each of them were scored upon. Erik Swanson was back and he was one of the pitchers who allowed a run, just one in his case.
Buffalo scored six runs with six hits by six different hitters, five of which were doubles.
CJ Van Eyk had what would count as a good start for him. He went six innings and gave up four runs on six hits. But those four runs were enough for Binghamton who held New Hampshire to four hits. Ryan McCarty had two of them.
Connor O'Halloran had a little trouble with his command on Thursday. The Vancouver starter walked five in 4.2 innings and also hit a couple of hitters. He did strikeout seven and only allowed two hits. But he did take the loss. The C's had four hits, two for Dasan Brown.
Dunedin scored four runs with just three hits. They were helped by walks, an error, a hit batter and a wild pitch. Two runs scored from sac flies for some good execution.
Ryan Watson, a recent free agent signing, started and threw 5.2 innings. He struck out seven while allowing three runs.
Arjun Nimmala hit his fifth home run, a solo shot, and added a sac fly.
