NOTES
The Bisons scratched across a run in the seventh inning to take a one run lead. Scratched because an error and a wild pitch helped score the run. That 1-0 lead held until the bottom of the eighth. Javen Coleman came on and immediately gave up a home run. That led to three more runs and Buffalo were down 4-1. That ruined an excellent start by Simeon Woods Richardson. He went 5.1 shutout innings with seven K's. It was his best start as a Blue Jay. The Bisons only had four hits.
New Hampshire followed a similar script to Buffalo, they had a great start from Danny Thompson Jr but the bullpen lost them the game. Thompson went six innings and struck out seven. He gave up one run on five hits. Alex Amalfi was taken deep twice to take the loss.
Both NH runs came from a double, single combo. In the sixth it was a double from Arjun Nimmala and an Aaron Parker single. In the seventh Carter Cunningham doubled and Cade Doughty singled. Parker and Dub Gleed each had two hits.
In Vancouver Silvano Hechavarria could barely get anyone out. The manager left him in there until Spokane had nine runs on the board. When you are losing 9-0 in the fourth inning its tough to come back and indeed the C's did not. They only had five hits in the game.
Jojo Parker hit a two run home run for Dunedin in the sixth inning to tie the game at 2-2. St Lucie scored a run in the seventh and the game went to the ninth with the Jays trailing. Owen Carapellotti led off the inning with a walk. Jake Cook ran for him and stole second. He moved to third on a bunt and scored on a sac fly by Dean West. Off to extra innings.
As happened a lot on this day the bullpen let St Lucie score three runs in the top of the tenth and the Jays could not score in the bottom of the inning. The Jays had six hits in the game, Parker had two of them.
