Notes
Orelvis Martinez, Davis Schneider and Alan Roden all homered with the 'vis' guys getting two hits apiece. Schneider also took one for the team, as did Joey Loperfido, who singled and stole a base. Anders Tolhurst lasted five innings and allowed just a solo home run, a double and a walk. He struck out two but only two of his 13 outs in play were on the ground. Josh Walker and Jimmy Burnette put up scoreless innings, offsetting a hit and a walk with two strikeouts each. Jacob Barnes was bombed for four runs, including two long balls, in one inning and Tommy Nance gave up five more to take the loss, recording just one out.
All nine Canadians batters reached base at least once with seven getting a hit. Jackson Hornung put Monty's Mounties ahead for good with a two-run homer and had a bases-loaded walk among his two free passes. Cutter Coffey singled three times with a pair of RBI singles, drew a walk and stole a base. Arjun Nimmala doubled and heard ball four twice. Kevin Miranda gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks and fanned three to earn the five-inning victory. Aaron Munson scattered two hits over two scoreless stanzas for the hold. JJ Sánchez got the final four outs, overcoming a hit and a walk with two punchouts.
Victoria, BC native Sam Shaw had a perfect night at the plate with three hits and two walks. One of his hits was a double and he stole a base. Yeico Aponte homered and doubled. Manuel Beltre singled twice, scored twice and stole a base twice. Trey Yesavage served up two solo homers, including one to fellow 2024 first-round pick Konnor Griffin, among his four hits, but he struck out 12 Pirate hopefuls over five innings for the win. Gage Stanifer struck out seven, allowing just one run on one hit and one walk for the four-inning save.
In Game 1 of the F-Jays doubleheader, David Beckles singled and doubled home a run and Dariel Ramon had two hits, including a two-run knock, a hit by pitch and a stolen base. Aldo Gaxiola was on base three times, with an RBI single among his two hits and a walk. Sann Omasako gave up two runs on seven innings in four innings but struck out five without a walk. The win went to Troy Guthrie who struck out two over three perfect frames.
In Game 2, Adam Macko allowed just one run on two hits and fanned six batters over four innings. Diego Dominguez pitched two innings of one-hit ball and struck out two to earn the win. Leo Jiménez had a hit and a sacrifice fly before giving way to Ramon, who singled, walked and stole a base. Enmanuel Bonilla had an RBI single but struck out three times and is batting just .111 on the season. Yorman Licourt had a bases-clearing double.
