NOTES
The Durham hitters were all over Paolo Espino. They had eleven hits over four innings. Espino was charged with five runs, a deficit that the hitters could not overcome.
The Bisons had seven hits. They had just one run until the ninth when Phil Clarke popped a pinch hit two run home run.
The Fisher Cats built a 4-0 lead, saw it reduced to 4-3 in the sixth, then gave up runs in the ninth and tenth to lose the game. Kevin Miranda was the star pitcher, five shutout innings, one hit. He did strike out just one so there were a lot of "at-em" balls. Dahian Santos followed, walked a couple, then gave up a three run home run.
Brent Lavallee was the closer. He walked a pair in the ninth and then a sac fly tied the game. Then in the tenth a sac bunt and a single scored the winning run.
The Fisher Cats outhit Altoona 9-4. Rainer Nunez hit a two run home run, and singled. Dasan Brown doubled twice and singled.
Two guys have been doing the heavy lifting for the Canadians recently and they did it again in the first inning. Jace Bohrofen doubled and Peyton Williams singled him home. Unfortunately things got worse. Connor O'Halloran hit a batter in the second and a couple of singles later the game was tied. Hillsboro tacked on three more run in the fourth. Jackson Hornung doubled in a run in the sixth and Nik Deschamps homered in the ninth but Vancouver were a run short.
Connor O'Halloran went six innings and was charged with four runs. Bohrofen was 3-5, Williams 2-4.
The Dunedin Jays outhit Lakeland 6-4 but Lakeland won 4-0. The Jays helped out. Daniel Guerra walked in a run and balked in another. Colby Martin walked the lead off hitter in the seventh. A wild pitch, a steal and an error on the throw let him score. Sean Keys and Nick Mitchell each had two hits for the Jays.
