One win outta four for the affiliates on Sunday but by far the most impressive performance came in a losing cause.

Eric Thames and Darin Mastroianni swung the big bats for the Fisher Cats on Sunday. Thames slugged his 15th HR of the year to go along with a double, walk, and three runs scored while Mastroianni doubled three times and drove in a pair of runs raising his average to .308. David Cooper was 0-for-1 but walked three times and Adam Loewen singled twice, walked and drove in a pair.
On the mound, B.J. LaMura started and went five for the win despite allowing four runs. Tim Collins pitched a perfect ninth, with a strikeout, for his ninth save.
Lakeland 2 Dunedin 1
Joel Carreno deserved a better fate. In six innings, Carreno allowed two runs on seven hits. But that wasn't the real story. In those six innings, there was a groundout to short, a runner picked off first, and a pop-out to catcher in foul territory. The other fifteen outs were recorded via strikeout. Yup, 15 Ks in six innings. Impressive stuff. Boomer Potts went the final three in shutout fashion.
The offense sure didn't do much to help Carreno's case. The DJays managed just six hits. Two of 'em, including a homer, came off the bat of Brian Van Kirk. Travis D'Arnaud and Mike McDade both went 1-for-4 with a double.
Bowling Green 6 Lansing 4
Brad Glenn and Balbino Fuenmayor each smacked two run homers for the Lugnuts to provide all of the offense on Sunday. Justin Jackson was 2-for-4 to raise his average to .234 while Kevin Ahrens had a hit and Sean Ochinko picked up a pair, including a double. Oh, and Fuenmayor also had the customary two strikeouts and managed a pair of errors in the field.
Ryan Tepera started and went five, allowed four runs on six hits, walked a batter and struck out five in dropping his record to 7-4.
Auburn 3 Aberdeen 7
The Doubledays led this one 3-2 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth before an RBI double and a Grand Slam ruined their afternoon. Shawn Griffith blew the save in fairly spectacular fashion which cost Daniel Webb the win. Webb went 5.1 and allowed two runs on three hits while striking out five.
At the dish, Lance Durham smacked his 5th homer of the year while Sean Fermin and Oliver Dominguez each had a pair of hits.
