AAA - Buffalo Bisons (53-71)_______________________________________
BUFFALO 4, TOLEDO 2 (Box)
The Herd grouped some hits together in the first two innings, jumping out to a three run lead after two. That would be all the run support the pitching staff would need, as starter Miguel Batista went 8 strong and only allowed 5 batters to reach base. Dale Thayer pitched a scoreless 9th to seal the deal for the Bisons.
- IF Josh Satin: 1-4, 2 K
- SS Jordany Valdespin: 1-4
- 3B Zach Lutz: 1-3, 2B, BB, K, RBI
AA - Binghamton Mets (52-71)_____________________________________
NEW BRITAIN 7, BINGHAMTON 3 (Box)
Binghamton left 11 men on the basepaths last night, leading a very good offensive night in general to produce only three runs. That scoring output just wasn't enough to cover Brandon Moore who had a very rough outing. Brad Holt did have a solid inning of work in relief, he's been looking fairly solid in the bullpen lately.
- 2B Reese Havens: 2-5, 2B
- LF Juan Lagares: 1-4, 2B, BB
- 3B Eric Campbell: 1-4, R, SB(5)
- CF Matt Den Dekker: 1-3, 2B, K, RBI
- RHP Brad Holt: IP, 1 H, 2 K
- RHP Brandon Moore: 5 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 2 K, 2 BB, HR
Lo-A Savannah Sand Gnats (32-19)__________________________________
ASHEVILLE 5, SAVANNNAH 2 (Box)
The 6th inning did in the Gnats last night, as the four runs the Tourists put on the board were enough to assure they pulled out the win. Trailing 5-1 in the 9th, Blake Forsythe killed off any chance of a potential rally by hitting a selfish solo shot to lead off the inning. With the rally effectively killed before it could start, the Gnats went quietly away to end the game. The Gnats now head to Greeneville to pay a 4 1/2 game series due to a game suspended earlier in the year.
- CF Darrell Ceciliani: 2-4, 2B, 2 K, SB(20)
- 3B Aderlin Rodriguez: 1-4, K
- C Blake Forsythe: 1-4, HR, RBI, R
- C Albert Cordero: 0-3, BB, 2 K
- RHP Erik Goeddel: 5 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 3 K, 2 BB
Short Season A- Brooklyn Cyclones (33-24)_______________________________________
BROOKLYN 5, JAMESTOWN 2 (Box)
Brooklyn came back from the all star break with very little signs of rust. They put 4 runs on the board in the first 2 innings en route to their 3rd straight win. Marcos Camarena had swing and miss stuff tonight, and Danny Muno and Javier Rodriguez continued their run of good play. Combined with the Staten Island split in their double header, the Clones have now climbed within 4 games of the Yankees.
- SS Danny Muno: 1-3, 2B, BB, RBI, R
- RF Javier Rodriguez: 1-3, 3B, BB, RBI
- 3B Brian Harrison: 0-2, 2 BB, K
