NOTES
Simeon Woods Richardson made his first Buffalo start and it didn't go well. Three Saints took him deep leading to six runs allowed in three innings.
The Bisons had seven hits in their six innings. David Schneider led the offense with two hits and two RBI.
For NH Jackson Wentworth had one bad inning, the third. Single, walk, single, home run and that was a big four on the board. He went four innings and struck out six.
NH actually outhit Reading 10-6 even though they lost. Jorge Burgos, Eddie Micheletti and Dub Gleed had two hits each.
In Vancouver, Eric Snow, usually reliable at short, made an error on the first hitter of the game. Two outs later a home run put Silvano Hechavarria and the C's down 2-0. That was followed by a single and a double and it was 3-0. Hechavarria threw four plus innings and gave up six runs, two earned on eight hits.
Eric Snow and Peyton Williams had two hits each.
Carson Messina started for Dunedin, gave up a two run home run in the first inning, then the rains came. When the game resumed he was out of the game. Four relievers took it home. The last pitcher was Lluveres Severino who recorded the last four outs. Severino was discussed by BA this week who talked about his sinker being a plus pitch. Severino now has a scoreless streak of 13.1 innings.
A couple of big home runs helped the Jays to the win. Will Cresswell hit his first pro home run. Giaconino Lasaracina hit his first in high A and went 3-6 with three RBI. Jojo Parker went 2-4 with two walks.
The FCL Jays scored five runs in the seventh, and last, inning, to win 10-5. The Jays had eight hits and ten walks and the Tigers made three errors. Angel Guzman homered and singled and drove in three runs.
Colby Holcombe started the season in Vancouver but went on the IL in April with an oblique strain. He came back on Saturday but he was wild, three walks and three singles led to him not being able to get out of the first inning.
