Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (27-42)
RENO 8, LAS VEGAS 0 (Box)
Really nothing much to say about this one. No standout hitting performances, no standout pitching performances, nothing. Aaron Laffey- yes, that Aaron Laffey- made the 51s look foolish.

Double-A - Binghamton Rumble Ponies (35-27)
READING 7, BINGHAMTON 4 (Box)
Marcos Molina struck out eight in his Double-A debut, but the eight wiffs weren’t enough to keep the Fightin Phils out of the win column. Molina looked good in his first three innings, retiring eight of the first nine batters he faced, but ran into trouble in the middle innings. In the fourth, they plated three to make it a 3-1 ballgame, and after Binghamton tied things in the bottom of the frame, scored two more in the fifth to make it a 5-3 game. Kelly Secrest gave up a few more runs in the late innings to totally put the ballgame out of reach for the Ponies, though they did have a few chances here and there to get back in the game.

Low-A - Columbia Fireflies (40-27)
CHARLESTON 3, COLUMBIA 0 (Box)
With just one game left in the first half, and a half game lead over the Greenville Drive thanks to their loss to the River Dogs, the Colaflies are now in a winner-takes-all scenario. The Fireflies can clinch the division and a playoff spot with a win on Sunday or a Greenville loss to the Rome Braves. Gabby Llanes will be facing Nick Green in the Columbia/Charleston afternoon matinee finale, while Jhonathan Diaz of the Drive and Joey Wentz of the Braves will be squaring off.
