Five affiliates left 26 runners on (total) and scored 28 runs and went
4-1. The sixth, New Hampshire, did leave 12 runners on, but
scored 9 runs.
Rochester 4 @ Syracuse 5
The Chiefs completed a comeback from a 4-1 deficit with a run in
the 10th. Russ Adams singled and Ryan Roberts walked to open the
frame. Ray Olmedo laid down a sacrifice bunt, and the Red Wing
pitcher threw it away as the winning run scored. Earlier, Roberts
and Chad Mottola had hit solo homers, while Olmedo doubled and
scored. Mike MacDonald started and went 6.1 innings and allowed
all 4 Rochester runs. Ryan Houston was brilliant in relief
retiring all five batters he faced, three by strikeout.
Portland 2 @ New Hampshire 9
The Fisher Cats gained a measure of revenge for a string of defeats at
the hands of the Sea Dogs with a 9-2 shellacking of Portland.
Chip Cannon, Sergio Santos and Aaron Mathews homered to lead the
parade, with Cannon adding a single and double and Santos a
triple. Manny Mayorson went 3-4, including 2 doubles, with a walk
at the top of the order. Yusaku Iriki gutted his way through 5
innings, allowing 2 runs on 11 baserunners. Seth Overbey earned
the long save with 4 shutout innings of relief, including 2 strikeouts
and 7 ground ball outs.
Dunedin 4 @ Brevard County 2
The D-Jays rallied for 3 runs in the 7th inning to overcome a 2-0
deficit, and added an insurance marker in the eighth. A Jacob
Butler walk and singles by Carlo Cota and Chris Gutierrez loaded the
bases with one out. Matt Gamel, who had homered earlier, made a
key error which allowed two runs to score and a Luke Hetherington
sacrifice fly finished off the frame. Orlando Trias went 6.1
innings and allowed both runs on 8 hits and 2 walks with 2 strikeouts.
Aaron Tressler and Conor Falkenbach pitched well in relief to nail it
down. Josh Kreuzer reached base in all four of his plate
appearances.
Burlington 7 @ Lansing 5
Nathan Starner came out smoking for the Lugnuts, striking out the first
6 Bees he faced. He gave up solo homers in the 3rd and 4th innings, and
then a couple of walks and a hit in the fifth, and he was gone.
In the end, Starner surrended 4 earned runs in 4.1 innings on 4 hits
and 3 walks with 7 strikeouts. The Lugnuts banged out 10 hits,
with 2 apiece from Travis Snider, Yuber Rodriguez, Jonathan Baksh and
Matt Liuzza, but no walks and no longballs meant that the offence was
not as productive as it might have been.
Vermont 2 @ Auburn 9
Victor Santana and Adam Calderone hit 2 run shots to key a 10 hit
Doubleday attack. The Doubledays managed to parlay 5 singles and
a walk in the 5th inning into 5 runs to salt the game away.
Efficient, eh? Calderone threw out Aaron (Doctor) Seuss, and added a
sacrifice fly. Luis Perez started and went 4 innings, allowing
both Vermont runs on 4 hits and 2 walks, while punching out 7.
J.P. Arencibia went 1-5 on the evening.
GCL Jays 5 @ GCL Phillies 2
Yohermyn Chavez hit a 2 run homer to lead the Jays over the
Phillies. Moises Sierra added a run-scoring double and Balbino
Fuenmayor went 2-4. Brad Cuthbertson and Jason Monti each pitched
four effective innings, allowing a run apiece. Cuthbertson walked
three and struck out six, while Monti walked nobody and struck out
three. You can call them Henke and Key if you like.
