Rafael Lantigua, still fresh in AAA, drove in seven runs, four of them with a grand slam. Sem Robberse did OK in his AA debut while Dahian Santos didn't do so well in Vancouver. Lantigua helped Buffalo win, while Dunedin also won. New Hampshire and Vancouver lost.

Lehigh Valley 1 Buffalo 10

New Hampshire 4 Hartford 6

Vancouver 4 Everett 14

Jupiter 5 Dunedin 6 - 11 innings

FCL Yankees 4 FCL Blue Jays 3 - 10 innings


This is what I noted from yesterday's games.


Spencer Horwitz, Gabriel Moreno and Rafael Lantigua each had three hits. Lantigua drove in seven with a double and a grand slam. Yoshi Tsutsugo homered and singled.


The Bisons used seven pitchers including Tim Mayza, who threw ten pitches in an inning, and Adrian Hernandez who gave up another home run.


Sem Robberse made his AA debut. He went five innings, three hits, two walks and no strikeouts. He did concede a three run home run.


John Aiello hit a two run home run and walked.


Dahian Santos had a rough intro to high A. He had trouble throwing strikes, just 15 out of 35 pitches were in the zone, and walked four. Add in two hits and he gave up six runs in two thirds of an inning. Buck Farmer was also hit around for six runs. TJ Brock struck out four of the five hitters he faced.


Dasan Brown had three hits. Rainer Nunez, Gabriel Martinez and Riley Tirotta had two each.


Peyton Williams had the walk-off single for Dunedin in the 11th inning. He and Roque Salinas were the only hitters with two hits. Cade Doughty hit his third home run. The Jays used six pitchers.
