NOTES
The Bisons have had a rough week against the hot Scranton team. On Sunday Easton Lucas did well, five shutout innings. But Hayden Juenger and Bobby Milacki combined to give up five runs.
The Bisons did build a 3-0 lead. The hot Riley Tirotta drove in two runs in the third inning with a single. Rainer Nunez doubled in the fifth and scored on a wild pitch. The Bisons did have just five hits, Tirotta had two.
Similarly New Hampshire had a rough offensive day. They had just four hits. They didn't need a hit to score their first run in the eighth inning, three walks and a catchers interference did the job. Ryan McCarty tripled in the ninth and scored on a Gabriel Martinez single. Obviously NH had just two hits in the game headed to the ninth.
Geison Urbaez started and was charged with one run in 3.2 innings. NH used five pitchers.
Vancouver took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on a two run home run by Carter Cunningham. Gage Stanifer started for the C's and hadn't allowed a hit through four innings. In the fifth a single and a home run tied the game. Stanifer completed six innings with just those two hits on his record. He walked one and struck out eight. Stanifer now has a 2.00 ERA in five August starts.
Edward Duran hit his first High A home run in the sixth inning to break the tie. Jay Harry followed with a double and scored when Matt Scannell singled. Cunningham, Harry and Duran each had two hits.
