Norfolk Tides 11, Durham Bulls 1
The Tides ran roughshod over a rehabbing Drew Smyly. The Rays lefty was lit up for four runs in 2.1 innings. Notably, Christian Walker hit a two run homer off of Smyly in the first. If you're keeping count, that's five homers and fifteen ribeyes in his last ten games. Although Dariel Alvarez had been a tad cold of late, he also hit a two run bomb today. Mike Wright allowed an earned run in six innings and struck out seven.
Bowie Baysox 10, Harrisburg Senators 3
Corban Joseph, have a day! The younger Joseph was perfect at the plate with two homers, a triple, a walk and a single. Joseph's colleagues were also productive as all starters reached base at least once. Parker Bridwell allowed three unearned runs to score and gave up a homer.
Frederick Keys 4, Winston Salem Dash 6
Mitch Horacek had a quality start as far as those things go, but allowed four hits and three walks. Horacek struck out four batters. Bowie native Jeff Kemp went 4-5. Tad Gold doubled.
Delmarva Shorebirds 4, Augusta GreenJackets 5 (10)
The Shorebirds came back in the ninth only to lose it in the 10th. Elier Leyva hit what should have been a go ahead homer in the ninth, but was ruled to have not touched home to end the inning. Ain't that a kick in the head? His countryman Dariel Delgado made a solid start striking out four in five innings. Delgado allowed two earned runs.
Aberdeen Ironbirds 4, Williamsport Crosscutters 2
