Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (3-4)

FRESNO 7, LAS VEGAS 4 (BOX)

Fresno sent ten men to the plate against Ricky Knapp in the second inning, plating five, and Vegas could never fully recover. The 51s chipped away a bit with help from a Travis Taijeron home run in the fourth and a 3-for-5 night from Gavin Cecchini, ultimately falling 7-4 to the Grizzlies on Wednesday. Former 51 Juan Centeno had a nice night against his former team, going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

Double-A - Binghamton Rumble Ponies (3-3)

BINGHAMTON 4, PORTLAND 3 (11) (BOX)

After Corey Taylor blew the save in the ninth, Patrick Biondi rumbled down the baseline to beat out an infield single and plate the winning run in the 11th, Sending the Rumble Ponies past the Portland Sea Dogs, 4-3. Tyler Pill turned in an effective start, allowing just two unearned runs in the second inning thanks in part to errors on back-to-back plays by Luis Guillorme. Binghamton racked up 13 hits, highlighted by Guillorme atoning for those errors to the tune of a 5-for-5 night at the plate, which included a double off the top of Portland’s 37’ tall Maine Monster.

BRADENTON 4, ST. LUCIE 1 (Box)

The Marauders scored two in the first inning and never looked back, completing a three-game sweep of the St. Lucie Mets.
