After scoring 11 runs and losing by 6 on Sunday the Fishercats took no chances and scored 17 on Monday as the affiliates were a perfect 4-0 on the night.
Norfolk 3 at Syracuse 8
Kane Davis put together a strong start going 7 innings and giving up 2 runs. DeJong and Wolf finished the game, each with a scoreless inning.
Eric Kratz was the hitting star for the Chiefs hitting 2 HRs and driving in 4 runs. He turns 28 this month so he's not a top prospect by any means, but he's slugging .500 this year. If he can keep that up it makes him a possible good emergency option, and maybe even a backup in the right spot.
Adam Lind was in the lineup for a 2nd straight day and had 2 hits. The middle infield duo of Sandoval and Cabral (who?) each also had 2 hits on the night.
Portland 10 at New Hampshire 17
After losing 17-11 the previous day the Fisher Cats turned the tables. The only regular without at least 2 hits for NH was Travis Snider who went 1-5 while playing RF. Ryan Klosterman had the best day going 4-4, including a HR and 2 BBs, with 4 runs and 5 RBIs. The following players had 3 hits (with XBH in parenthesis): Guitierrez (2 doubles), Matthews (double), Patterson (double), and Campbell (double). Two hit nights belonged to Jacob Butler, Kreuzer (double), and Jeroloman (HR).
We'll ignore the pitching.
Dunedin 5 at Fort Myers 0
Robert Ray pitched 6 scoreless innings, giving up just 4 hits and 2 BBs to go with the 5 Ks he had on the night. Polanco came on for the perfect 3 inning save, preserving the shutout.
Cory Patton did the most damage going 3-5 with 2 doubles and 3 RBIs. Luis Sanchez also had 3 hits while Shoffit had 2.
