There were a couple of exciting finishes on Friday. Gabriel Martinez walked it off for Dunedin. New Hampshire came into the ninth down by five. They scored three without a hit, then got a hit which both made it a one run game and ended the game...ouch! Buffalo won while Vancouver won two.
Two wins and two loses on Thursday. New Hampshire had both losses while Buffalo and Dunedin won. Vancouver were rained out. Bowden Francis shut down Scranton for 6.2 innings before running into a bit of trouble. Gabriel Martinez hit his first home run for Dunedin.

Buffalo swept a doubleheader while New Hampshire pulled out an extra-inning win. Dunedin took the only loss Wednesday. Vancouver's game against Eugene was rained out. They will play two at Nat Bailey Stadium Friday afternoon.
An 0-2 night for the affiliates Tuesday. Buffalo's game against Scranton-Wilkes/Barre and New Hampshire's game in Altoona were postponed. Buffalo will play two on Wednesday and New Hampshire will do likewise on Thursday.
Two wins and three losses on Sunday. Maximo Castillo was outstanding in his start. We have to ask if we are seeing a different Maximo? Zac Cook helped Maximo get the win. Riley Tirotta and Addison Barger powered Vancouver to their win. Rainer Nunez went deep twice in a losing cause.
Yesterday the affiliates won six games, today none. Yesterday there were seven games, today just two with two games rained out. Yesterday the pitchers were outstanding, today not so much. Both loses today came via the walk-off. Old friend Josh Palacios came back to extract revenge on the org that lost him on waivers.

There were seven games on Good Friday, the affiliates won six of them. There was a strong roster of starters who pitched well, Joey Murray, Nick Fraze, Hayden Juenger, and Ricky Tiedemann. Orelvis Martinez and Zak Cook homered in each end of the doubleheader but another Fisher Cat hitter pipped them for the third star. Tanner Morris homered and went 4-5 with two walks over both ends of the doubleheader. Meanwhile PK Morris hit a grand slam in extra innings to help Vancouver sweep their doubleheader.

Vancouver were the only winners Wednesday. Buffalo's game in Rochester was postponed due to unplayable field conditions. Those two teams will play a doubleheader Friday.
Buffalo and New Hampshire won. Vancouver and Dunedin did not.
Three wins out of four games. Unusually the first star comes from the one loss. Rafael Ohashi dominated through four innings and the bottom fell out once he left the game. There were several other good pitching performances on Sunday. The top hitter was Garrett Spain who had three hits and eight total bases.
It was a tough night on the farm for the affiliates. New Hampshire had the only win and that in a rain shortened game.
It was a good start to the season for the affiliates. New Hampshire were the only losers while Buffalo won two. Several starting pitchers had good nights and seven hitters went deep for the first time, including Orelvis.
The Bisons suffered their first loss of 2022 to fall to .500. Meanwhile, Vancouver celebrated the return of baseball at Nat Bailey Stadium.
The defending International League East Division champion Buffalo Bisons opened the 2022 season with a one-run win at home.
