Other than the FCL team it was wins all around. Rafael Sanchez threw a no hitter for New Hampshire. Grant Rogers pitched well in game two. There were eleven home runs hit by Jays players.
The Sanchez home run was quite the turnaround for a player who gave up ten runs his last time out.

NOTES
Yohendrick Pinango hit a three run home run. The AAAA players Riley Tirotta and Will Robertson homered in the eighth inning. Joey Loperfido tripled and was the only Bison with two hits.
Anders Tolhurst struck out five in five innings. Syracuse did hit two solo home runs off him.
Rafael Sanchez pitched a no hitter in the first NH game. He walked two and struck out two. He recorded ten fly ball outs to two ground balls. In his last start Sanchez gave up ten runs in 3.1 innings. Sanchez did have a 1.29 ERA in April but that jumped to over ten in May, due in part to those ten runs.
Alex Stone hit a three run home run.
In game two Grant Rogers went six innings. Altoona scored two runs, one earned off him. He struck out five. The two NH starters combined to give up one earned run in 13 innings. It was a nice day of rest for the bullpen, unusual in a doubleheader. Jacob Sharp had two hits, Devonte Brown had a pinch hit double that drove in two runs.
Chris McElvain struggled in his return to high A. He needed 51 pitches to get five outs. The bullpen saved the day, 7.1 innings with one run allowed.
The C's hit four home runs. Victor Arias started the game with a homer. Cutter Coffey hit a three run blast in the third. Nick Goodwin and Eddie Micheletti added ninth inning solo shots. Goodwin has five home runs in his last five games.
Jean Joseph singled in the go ahead run in the top of the ninth. Joseph, Sam Shaw and the heating up Tucker Toman each had two hits.
Silvano Hechavarria had an excellent start, five K's in five innings. The Mets scored one run off him with three hits and no walks.
Landen Maroudis pitched two innings in the FCL. The Phillies had four hits off him but all four were ground balls and two were infield hits. It was Maroudis's sixth appearance since surgery and he hasn't found his best form yet. Will Wagner returned after being hit by a pitch a few days ago.
