It was another rough night on the Pharm, with only one team getting a win. Jersey Shore seemed to have just about all of the organization’s offense for the evening. Here’s how the games shaped up.
Lehigh Valley 4, Worcester 7 F/10
The ‘Pigs came back from an early deficit, but fell to the WooSox for the second night in a row. Down three runs in the sixth, the ‘Pigs hit three consecutive two-out hits to tie the game at 4, including a two-run homer by Bryan De La Cruz. Worcester scored three in their
half of the tenth and the IronPigs failed to match it.
Notable performances: Rangel (5.0 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 4 K); Gates (1.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, L); De La Cruz (1-for-4, 2 RBI, HR); McIntosh (1-for-4, RBI, HR); Anthony (1-for-4, 2B, RBI), Kemp (1-for-3, BB, 1 R, 1 SB)
Reading 2, Hartford 10
A three-hit, six-RBI night for Yard Goats outfielder Conner Capel was too much for the R-Phils to overcome in this game. Brayden Tucker gave up his first two home runs in over a month and was charged with his first loss since May 19. Bryan Rincon extended his on base streak to 16 games with a walk in the seventh inning. The R-Phils stranded 13 runners on base. (Yes, you read that correctly- 13!)
Notable performances: Tucker (5.2 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 3 HR, L); McFarlane (1.0 IP, 1 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 HR); Escobar (2-for-3, 2 BB, 1 RBI); Ritter (2-for-3, 2B, 1 BB, 1 RBI)
Jersey Shore 11, Greenville 2
Just about everything went right for Jersey Shore on Wednesday in their dominant win over the Drive. Offensive explosions in the third and eighth innings sealed the deal for the BlueClaws, who had 16 hits in the game by seven different batters. Nick Biddison led the way with two hits and 4 RBI.
Notable performances: Graves (4.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K); Biddison (2-for-4, 4 RBI, 3 R, 1 BB, SB); Davis (3-for-5, 2 RBI, 2B, HR); Farquhar (3-for-4, 2 R, SB); Pettorini (3-for-4, 1 RBI, 2 R)
Clearwater 1, Bradenton, 4
A one-out solo home run by Alirio Ferrebus in the ninth inning was the only offense of the night for the Threshers, who faced a deficit they couldn’t overcome in the first inning. The bottom third of the order combined for three of the Threshers’ four hits. Peyton Havard has struck out six in both games he has pitched against Bradenton.
Notable performances: Obermueller (3.0 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, L); Havard (3.0 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K); Ferrebus (1-for 4, 1 RBI, 1 HR)
