NOTES
Grant Rogers started for Buffalo and Rochester scored seven off him in 3.2 innings. Later Rochester added home runs off Lazaro Estrada and Daniel Guerra.
The Bisons had two home runs, one each from Sean Keys and Peyton Williams. Keys added a double and a walk, Williams also singled. Lenyn Sosa singled and doubled.
Hartford scored four runs in the last three innings to beat NH 6-2. Austin Cates started and did well over six innings. Hartford hit a two run home run off him for the only runs he allowed. Fernando Perez came on in relief for his first appearance since May 2nd. It did not go well. In his first inning he gave up one run by walking two, a passed ball and a Cutter Coffey error. Two more scored next inning with a single, a walk, a ground out, a balk and a sac fly. There might have been nerves, lets see another appearance before we can see if anything has changed.
For NH Carter Cunningham homered. Coffey tripled and singled. JR Freethy had two singles.
Vancouver rallied from 3-1 down to win 4-3. Ryan Sprock got it started with a solo home run in the fourth. Maddox Latta added another in the fifth to make it a 3-2 game. Jaxson West and Jojo Parker then singled before Jake Casey doubled them both home. The C's had just six hits, those runs accounted for five of them. Casey also walked twice.
