Minor Details: Games of 9/4

Pawtucket 4, Rochester 3 in Pawtucket.  The Red Wings scored three in the fourth to take a 3-2 lead, but the Red Sox scored one in the fifth to tie and one in the eighth to win.  Dustin Martin had two hits.  Aaron Bates hit a home run.  Deinys Suarez surrendered three runs on three hits and five walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings.  Cole DeVries worked 2.2 shutout innings, giving up two hits.  Chuck James took the loss, allowing the winning run on two hits and a walk in his only inning.

New Britain 12, Trenton 9 in New Britain.  The Rock Cats broke a 5-5 tie with six in the sixth to stay alive in the playoffs.  Yangervis Solarte had two singles and two doubles, raising his average to .330.  Deibinson Romero had three singles and a double.  Chris Herrmann had four hits and drove in three.  Joe Benson singled and doubled.  Brian Dozier had two hits to raise his average to .315.  Bobby Lanigan struck out six in 5.1 innings but allowed five runs on nine hits.  Matt Schuld got the win despite allowing three runs on three hits and two walks in 2.2 innings.  Reading defeated Binghamton 5-4, so the Rock Cats remain a game out of the playoffs with one game remaining.  Reading's game today starts at 12:05 Central, while the Rock Cats play at 12:35 Central.  If the two teams tie for the last playoff spot, there will be a one-game playoff tomorrow.

Jupiter 7, Ft. Myers 4 in Jupiter.  The Hammerheads scored two in each of the second, third, and fourth innings.  Danny Rams and Oswaldo Arcia each singled and homered.  Aaron Hicks singled and doubled.  Steven Liddle had two hits.  B. J. Hermsen surrendered six runs on eight hits and two walks in just four innings.  Shooter Hunt struck out four in four innings, giving up a run on two hits and a walk.

Beloit 5, Wisconsin 1 in Beloit.  The Snappers scored three in the second and never trailed again.  Wang-wei Lin had four hits.  Michael Gonzales and Tyler Grimes each had two doubles and a single, with Grimes scoring three times.  Michael Tonkin gave up only an unearned run on just two hits and a walk in five innings.  Manuel Soliman worked two shutout innings, giving up three hits.  Madison Boer struck out three in a scoreless inning.

  1. If the two teams tie for the last playoff spot, there will be a one-game playoff tomorrow.

    Doing things the Twins way!

  2. The New Britain paper said Benson also made a spectacular diving catch in CF that was comparable to one of Revere's spectacular catches.

  3. New Britain is down 5-3 in the bottom of the 11th. However, Reading has already won, 6-2, so the Rock Cats are done today.
