NOTES
Michael Dominguez made his second start for NH. Nick Ward for Reading homered to lead off the game and homwered again when he came up in the third inning. Ward hit a sac fly in the fifth to make it three runs off Dominguez. Dominguez was pulled after 4.1 innings. He only allowed three hits, but he walked four and struck out four. For a second start in AA it was decent and hopefully something to build on. Troy Watson followed and he gave up four runs ame it an 8-1 game and a win looked to be out of reach.
But NH scored five runs in the sixth. Doubles by Leo Jimenez and Damiano Palmegiani and a triple from Will Robertson were the big hits. Aplmegiani came back up in the seventh with two on and hit his 14th home run to give NH a 9-8 lead. Robertson then doubled in another run and scored on a wild pitch to make it 11-8. Then the rains came and the game was called, a seven inning win for NH.
Palmegiani had five RBI, Robertson two. Michael Turconi was 0-2 in his AA debut, but he walked twice and scored two runs. With Turconi arriving, Trevor Schwecke was promoted to AAA.
Vancouver gave up two runs in the top of the eighth to turn a 1-0 lead in a 1-2 game. Dasan Brown led off the bottom of the eighth by getting hit with a pitch. Garrett Spain singled him to third. The tying run came in on a wild pitch and Peyton Williams singled in the go ahead run. Earlier Kekai Rios had homered for the first run.
Devereaux Harrison started and went six shutout innings, four hits, seven K's.
Kendry Rojas started for Dunedin and went five innings. He gave up three runs, just one earned, on four hits with no walks. He struck out three.
