Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (28-27)

PAWTUCKEY 7, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX)

Both teams scored early and often, but in the end, the Syracuse bats fell just short. After retaking the lead in the seventh on a two-run homer off the bat of Danny Espinosa, Eric Hanhold faltered in the bottom of the inning, allowing three runs- two earned. Syracuse got a man on base in both the eighth and ninth, but weren’t able to cash in either time.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (30-21)

GAME ONE

PORTLAND 6, SYRACUSE 5 / 7 (BOX)

Finding themselves down 4-0, the Rumble Ponies put up a five spot in the bottom of the sixth, taking the lead from the Sea Dogs. The inning began with the Braxton Lee hitting a line drive into center and ended with him striking out on a foul tip. In the in-between of batting around, Patrick Mazeika, Ali Sanchez, Will Toffey, and Jason Krizan all drove in runs. Just as soon as they took the lead, Ryley Gilliam and Joe Shaw combined to cough it back up. Gilliam led the top of the seventh off by hitting the lead off batter, prompting Shaw to be brought in. An error, single, and double later, Portland recaptured the lead- and almost scored more runs, as Tate Matheny was thrown out at home by a Barret Barnes and Andres Gimenez combo. The Ponies got runners on the corners in the bottom of the inning, but fell just short.

Advanced-A: St. Lucie Mets (27-28)

ST. LUCIE 6, CHARLOTTE 4 (BOX)

St. Lucie jumped out to an early lead and never lost it, despite a few threats. Things got hairiest in the bottom of the ninth, when, with a 6-2 lead, Joe Cavallaro faltered but did not fall. Zach Rutherford did the major damage, lofting a ball into shallow right that scored two runs. Cavallaro walked the next batter he faced, but struck out the pinch hitting Moises Gomez to end the game. Of note, Quinn Brodey hit his fifth home run, continuing his torrid week or two.

Low-A: Columbia Fireflies (21-34)

AUGUSTA 5, COLUMBIA 2 (BOX)

Columbia took the lead early, with two Augusta miscues leading to two Colafly runs. Jose Butto, who had been cruising, hiccupped in the fourth, giving up four runs. Alec Kisena ended up giving up another run, but the offense wasn’t up to the task of recouping those four runs Butto allowed, let alone getting another.
