NOTES
Three runs on seven hits for the Bisons. Alan Roden hit a two run home run in the second inning. He also singled. Roden is hitting .400 in August after hitting .279 in July. Phil Clarke singled to drive in the eventual winning run in the fifth.
Buffalo held Rochester to four hits. Trenton Wallace went 3.2 innings. He had trouble with the zone, 48 strikes and 39 balls leading to four walks. He did concede a two run home run. Three relievers pitched very well. Braydon Fisher got four outs, Hayden Juenger was perfect in two inning while Brandon Eisert pitched the last two innings.
Vancouver had 16 hits including two home runs. They were also helped by some dodgy defending by Eugene. Nick Goodwin had a two run home run in the fourth and Jace Bohrofen a three run shot in the seventh. Bohrofen had a big night, 4-6 with six RBI. Jackson Hornung and Adrian Pinto each had three hits, Cutter Coffey and Brennan Orf two each.
Connor O'Halloran has been struggling recently but he righted the ship somewhat on Thursday. He went five innings and gave up three runs. Not great but an improvement.
The Dunedin game was a pitchers duel with the hits being 5-4 through nine innings. Dunedin scored two runs in the seventh to tie the game. Eddie Micheletti doubles in a run and the tying run scored on an error. Micheletti had two hits as did Arjun Nimmala. He had a single and a triple, both hits came off the bat at over 100 mph.
Daniel Guerra spent most of the season in the FCL but this was his second start for Dunedin and it went better than his first. He went five innings and just allowed an unearned run. He struck out five. His fastball averaged 92 but varied from 95 to 88. That variation suggests issues with his delivery.
In the tenth inning Palm Beach had two hits to score two runs, Dunedin had zero hits to score zero runs. Simple game isn't it?
