Buffalo came back from a six run deficit to beat the Red Sox. Matt Hague had a home run and five RBI. Lansing had a home run from Ryan McBroom to squeak out a 2-1 win. Vancouver were the third winner on Sunday.

Dunedin took a 1-0 lead to the ninth and lost in extras. Conner Greene had a nice start. New Hampshire and Bluefield lost not so close games.

Buffalo 11 Pawtucket 10

Buffalo scored three runs in the top of the first but soon were down 9-3 after three innings. Andrew Albers suffered some post pan-am fallout and was the victim of the Red Sox barrage. Todd Redmond threw some gas on the fire after Albers left in the third inning. Redmond gave up another run in the fifth but then four relievers shut the door. Of note, Miguel Castro pitched another inning. In that inning a lead off double was followed by three ground balls, and no run scored.

A walk and three singles got the Bisons their three runs in the first, new Bison Ty Kelly had a two RBI single. The comeback started in the seventh when two walks preceded a three run bomb from Matt Hague. The four run eighth saw seven Bisons reach base, Hague singled in a run, a run scored on an error, Andy Burns doubled in a run but the final coup de grace came on an anti-climactic bases loaded walk. Hague finished the day with three hits and 5 RBI. Burns, Alex Hassan, Ty Kelly and Jon Diaz each had two hits. Dalton Pompey was 1-4 with two walks.


New Hampshire 2 Portland 7

Portland took a 2-0 lead, New Hampshire tied it in the fifth, but then Portland tacked on five in the fifth and sixth to win. last time out Casey Lawrence was dominant but not on this day. He did go five but ten hits and five runs in five innings was an "ouch". Luis Perez continued his up and down season by conceding two runs in the sixth.

Ryan Schimpf, fresh in from Buffalo, led the team with three hits, including a home run in the fourth. KC Hobson, who had two hits, scored the other run with an RBI single from Roemen Fields.


Dunedin 1 Charlotte 2 - 10 innings

Dunedin took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and it held until the ninth. Wil Browning came in for the save and surrendered a lead off triple that scored on a sac fly. Browning was still on the mound in the tenth when a lead off single led to a winning walk off single. The hard luck starter was Conner Greene who retired the first 13 hitters. Greene went six shutout innings with just three hits and no walks allowed. He had four K's.

Dunedin's only run was a typical Dunedin run. Anthony Alford walked, stole second and scored when Matt Dean singled. The Jays had just seven hits, Mitch Nay was the only Jay with two.


Dayton 1 Lansing 2

Both teams scored in the first inning, Lansing's run came when Jason Leblebijian singled in Chris Carlson. That was it until the sixth inning, when Ryan McBroom took matters into his own hands and jacked one to left for the winning run. Carlson and David Harris each had two hits.

Conor Fisk pitched 7.1 innings of three hit ball for the win. Three relievers kept Dayton off the board.


Vancouver 6 Everett 2

Vancouver scored first, two runs in the third inning. JC Cardenas doubled in the first run with Justin Atkinson later singling in Cardenas. The C's put up another 2 spot in the fifth, Ryan Hissey singled in one and Atkinson added the second on a ground out. Cardenas scored the fifth run in the seventh, he singled and scored on a double from Andrew Guillotte. Ryan Metzler doubled to lead off the eighth and scored the sixth and final run on a ground out.

The starter and winner was Francisco Rios who went five innings while allowing two runs. Michael Kraft and Bob Wheatley finished up.


Danville 8 Bluefield 6

The Jays went down early and that hole was too big. Starter Tayler Saucedo was charged with five runs in four innings. Miguel Burgos gave up 2 runs in 3 innings and Tyler Burden one in 2 innings.

Gabriel Clark hit his fourth home run in the first inning, a two run shot. The Jays scored three runs in the sixth with Jacob Anderson doubling in two runs in his first start of 2015. Rodrigo Orozco and Nick Sinay each had two hits.
