After a no win Saturday it was headed to be a repeat, a no win Sunday. The only hope for a win was Vancouver but they trailed 6-5 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Cue Brennan Orf who delivered a two run double to turn a 4 loss into a one win Sunday. We treasure these small wins these days.

It hasn't been a good start to the second half at the top of the system. The major league club has sucked players out for sure but even so it looks ugly. The Bisons are 4-11 while New Hampshire are 3-10. Vancouver did start the second half with a big winning streak and are at 14-4. Dunedin have been playing the better recently and their record is 10-7. At the bottom of the system the FCL Jays are 10-37, the DSL team is 14-11.
