Buffalo Bisons vs Pawtucket Red Sox (Loss 4-7)

Another rough outing for the Herd leads to a sweep by the visiting Paw-Sox. This game was very close throughout as each team fought back and forth, but in the 9th inning, the bullpen allowed four runs to the Paw-Sox to give them the win. The Paw-Sox were led by Deven Marrero who reached base 5 times during the game. He could not be stopped and he knocked in two runs and scored also during a 3-4 performance.

Chris Leroux started for the Bisons and allowed a run in each of the first two innings. He pitched four innings in which he walked three and struck out three. Dustin Antolin came on in relief and allowed a run in his second frame of work. He struck out three batters in 1.2 innings. Ben Rowen and Ryan Tepera pitched a scoreless inning each hold onto the lead. In the 9th with David Aardsma on the mound the Sox bats came to life. In 0.2 innings of work the Sox scored four runs on three hits and two walks. Pat McCoy came on to record the final out but the damaged had been done.

Pitching Grade – C+

On offence Dalton Pompey continued to impress as he went 2-3 with a stolen base and scored twice. Jesus Montero continued to rake in the RBIs as he picked up two more on Sunday. Matt Dominguez provided the muscle with a 2-run homer in the 8th to put the Herd ahead at the time. Dominguez went 2-4 on the day.

Offensive Grade – B-

Line of the Game – Matt Dominguez 2-4 with a 2 run homer

New Hampshire Fisher Cats vs Trenton Thunder (Loss 4-9)

A late offensive surge was just not enough to fight off a storm from the Thunder offence Sunday. Trenton got the jump on starter Shane Dawson and at first just chipped away at the Cats. Dawson pitched 4.1 innings before getting chased. He allowed four earned run while walking four and striking out three. The big blow was the solo homer by Tyler Wade in the 3rd. Wade would be a thorn in the side of the Cats the entire game as he scored three times. Chad Smith, pitching in the 9th, allowed four runs that clinched the Thunder’s win.

Pitching Grade – C-

On offence the Cats battled late in the game to attempt a major comeback but were shut down trying to score 7 runs in the 9th. Jon Berti continues to excel as he collected two hits on Sunday with an RBI and a stolen base. Berti’s most recent stolen base has him leading the Eastern League with seven. Three more Fisher Cat hitters had multi hit games. Roemon Fields, Rowdy Tellez, and Jorge Flores each had two hits. Flores recorded an RBI and a stolen base. Tellez also had an RBI. The big issue was capitalizing on the base runners. The Cats left 10 runners on base and were only 2-11 with runners in scoring position.

Offensive Grade – B-

Line of the Game – Jon Berti 2-5 with an RBI and a stolen base
