Notes
A Sean Keys RBI triple produced the Herd's only run. Jay Harry had the other extra-base hit with a double. Yohendrick Piñango had the only two-hit game. Josh Kasevich had a base hit. Grant Rogers was the losing pitcher after giving up four runs in 6⅓ innings with a home run among eight hits and a walk. He struck out three and got six groundball outs.
Eight Fisher Cats had at least one hit and 15 in total. Victor Arias and Alexis Hernández had three hits apiece while Eric Snow, Edward Duran and Cutter Coffey had a '2' in the hit column. Arias tripled home the winning run in the 11th. Dub Gleed also tripled and Adrian Pinto had a double. Hernández and Duran also stole a base. Nolan Perry pitched four innings of two-run ball, both of them as the result of a two-run homer. He surrendered four hits and walked a batter and struck out two. All five of his outs in play were on the dirt. Mason Olson worked around a hit and a walk to put up three goose eggs with one punchout. Gage Stanifer gave up a run on two hits and a walk but struck out two. Yondrei Rojas blew the save but got the win with two innings of one-run ball. Kelena Sauer retired all three men he faced for the save.
Maddox Latta capped off a four-run first inning with a three-run home run and he added two doubles to cap off a three-hit night. Jake Casey went yard twice and had a sacrifice fly to drive in four runs. Max Viera had an RBI single and Ryan Sprock added an RBI double. JoJo Parker singled, walked twice, scored three times and stole a base. Landen Maroudis got through five innings with three runs allowed on three hits, three walks and an HBP but struck out six to get the win.
Dunedin had a one-run lead heading into the eighth before it went off the rails. Giaconino Lasaracina and Jake Bennett both homered with the latter being a two-run shot. Jake Cook singled and had a sacrifice fly. Dameury Pena had two hits, a hit by pitch and a stolen base and Ryan Cooney had a double and a single. Juan Sánchez walked twice and stole a bag. Jack Nedrow gave up a homer and two runs total among five hits in 5⅓ innings. One of the runs was earned after Lasaracina was called for catcher's interference, one of his two errors in the game. Nedrow only struck out one but did not walk anybody. Edrwin Veras was eviscerated for 10 hits in two innings with two homers leading to six runs total to get the loss.
In the DR, Isay Veras was 2-for-2 with two walks and a grand slam. Cristopher Polanco tied the game with a solo blast and Fabian Gonzalez cleared the bases with a double in a four-run seventh. Celwin Hurkemans pitched 3⅔ innings and gave up three runs (one earned) on two hits and four walks and struck out six. The Red squad completed the Dominican sweep despite just one player recording a two-hit game, Elian Reyes, who also knocked home two runs and stole a base. Aneudy Severino scored twice, including a steal of home. Raduan Perez opened with two shutout innings of one-hit ball and struck out three. Cristhian Espinosa stranded the bases loaded and tossed 2⅔ scoreless stanzas with one hit allowed and two strikeouts to get the win.
