Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (18-17)__________________________________
OKLAHOMA CITY 1, LAS VEGAS 0 (Box)
The night after a typical PCL slugfest, we get a pitcher's duel between Rafael Montero and Julio Urias. Neither disappointed, as both tossed six scoreless frames. If you want to get technical, Montero outpitched the soon-to-be Dodger, as he allowed one fewer hit and struck out one more batter, resulting in game scores of 73 and 70, respectivley. In the end, it became a battle of bullpens, and Jeff Walters served up a homer to Jack Murphy in the eigthth that was the deciding run of the game.

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (15-19)____________________________
GAME ONE
PORTLAND 13, BINGHAMTON 2 / 7 (Box)
Rainy Lara was terrible in his return to the mound, giving up seven runs in an inning plus. His Sea Dog counterpart, the Met prospect that could have been, Teddy Stankiewicz, was just a bit better, throwing a complete game. Stefan Sabol hitting his first home run of the season is more or less the only halfway positive thing that occurred.

Low-A - Columbia Fireflies (18-17)________________________________
ASHEVILLE 3, COLUMBIA 2 (Box)
After falling behind 3-0, the Fireflies scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but were unfortunatley unable to get over the hump. Tyler Badamo threw seven innings but was allowing baserunners on all night, giving up eight hits and walking two. That came back to bite him in the second, third, and sixth, when the Tourists scratched out runs. Columbia, meanwhile, was held scoreless until the ninth, when Drasen Johnson - in his third inning of relief work - allowed a Jeff Diehl double and then moved him over on a wild pitch. Ivan Wilson scored him on a double of his own, and was in turn driven in by Jose Garcia. College bats Kevin Kaczmarski and Vinny Siena both made outs to end the game, stranding pinch runner Joe Tuschak on second.
