Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 7

Box Score · Clippers fall to 68-68

The Clippers offense played well, with multi-hit games from Adam Moore, who went 3-4 with two doubles, a rehabbing Lonnie Chisenhall and Richie Shaffer, who blasted his 30th home run of the season, the first player in the Indians organization to do it this year (not counting Jay Bruce since almost all came with the Mets).

Starting pitcher Chris Narveson tossed a quality start, giving up three runs in six innings of work, but the Columbus bullpen was not up to the task as both Louis Head and Josh Martin gave up two runs each to blow the lead and help send the Clippers back to the .500 mark on the season.

Akron RubberDucks 10, Harrisburg Senators 9

Box Score · RubberDucks improve to 65-69

Bobby Bradley must have heard that Richie Shaffer had mashed his 30th home run and he said, “That’s cute,” and proceeded to mash the ever-living snot out of a baseball over in Harrisburg.

Joe Sever had a three-hit game for the RubberDucks while Bradley had a multi-hit game including the above dinger (his 22nd). Greg Allen and Dorssys Paulino also joined the multi-hit parade.

Matt Whitehouse had a rough night, giving up five runs in just 3.2 innings of work. Cameron Hill was the lone Akron pitcher who worked a scoreless inning with his 13th save of the season.

Lynchburg Hillcats 9, Potomac Nationals 3

Box Score · Hillcats improve to 81-52

Gavin Collins had the game of his life for Lynchburg, going 4-5 at the dish with two doubles, a home run and five runs batted in. He was joined with multi-hit games from Willi Castro (who also homered and stole a base), Andrew Calica and Ka’ai Tom.

Sean Brady earned the win with six shutout innings. He struck out six, walked three and gave up just two hits. The southpaw looks strong after missing most of the season with an injury.

Mahoning Valley 0, Batavia Muckdogs 2

Box Score · Scrappers fall to 39-27

Unlucky sequencing led to a Mahoning Valley loss as the Scrappers outhit Batavia 4-3 on the day, but two of Batavia’s hits were a single followed by a home run in the first inning off of Kirk McCarty.

Jean Carlos Mejia tossed four no-hit shutout innings with five strikeouts and a walk as no Scrappers had multi-hit efforts or even reached base twice safely in the shutout defeat.

AZL Indians 1, AZL White Sox 2 (F/10)

Box Score · Indians fall to 14-39

This game remained scoreless until the ninth inning where the White Sox tacked on a run and were answered by the Indians. The White Sox would score again in the top of the 10th to eventually win the game.

Both White Sox runs were unearned thanks to three Indians errors.

Michael Cooper had a multi-hit game with two doubles. He was joined with multi-hit efforts from Tre Gantt and Miguej Jerez.

Of note, Adoni Kery and Tahnaj Thomas combined to throw seven shutout innings to begin the game.

The Lynchburg Hillcats had a scheduled off-day. The DSL Indians completed their season on Saturday.
