Three hits from both Chris Hawkins and Chris Schaeffer led to the only win on the day for the Blue Jays affiliates.
New Orleans 7 Las Vegas 3
Starter Aaron Laffey struggled by allowing seven hits and five walks over 3.2 innings of work. He gave up three runs. Bobby Korecky also allowed three runs but that came in just one-third of an inning. Fellow relievers Jerry Gil, Jim Hoey, and Chad Beck worked a combined three innings of scoreless ball. At the plate, Adeiny Hechavarria went 3-for-3 at the top of the order. He also walked once and stole a base. Moises Sierra went hitless but he walked and stole two bases. Yan Gomes was 1-for-2 with a solo homer. He also took a rare free pass.
Binghamton 7 New Hampshire 6
The Fisher Cats' woes continue allow they were a little more competitive in this game. Randy Boone received the start and allowed four runs (two earned) in 5.0 innings of work. He gave up five hits, no walks and struck out three. Danny Farquhar struck out three batters in 1.1 innings of work but he blew the save with one run allowed on three hits. Aaron Loup was tagged for two unearned runs in two-thirds of an inning. Ron Uviedo worked the final two innings and did not allow a hit, a walk or a run. He struck out three batters. At the plate Mark Sobolewski hit his eighth home run in 113 at-bats (He had that many last year in 400 ABs) and he's now two taters away from his career high. Unfortunately he made two errors in the field at third base. Brian Van Kirk went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI. Justin Jackson had two hits at the bottom of the order.
Dunedin - off day

The Lansing base runners stole five bases in the game, including Kenny Wilson who nabbed two despite failing to record a hit in the game (He walked once and struck out twice).

Kevin Pillar, who had six hits the other night, went 0-for-5.
