A bad day for Twins affiliates.  Cole DeVries and Pat Dean have rough outings.  A big day for Chris Colabello.

DURHAM 10, ROCHESTER 7 IN DURHAM

Batting star:  Chris Colabello was 3-for-4 with a double and two home runs (his ninth and tenth), driving in five.

Pitching star:  Caleb Thielbar struck out two in two shutout innings, giving up two hits and a walk.

Opposition stars:  Tim Beckham was 4-for-5 with a double and a two-run homer, scoring twice.  Chris Gimenez was 4-for-5 and scored three times.  Shelley Duncan was 2-for-4 with two doubles, scoring once and driving in two.

Key inning:  The seventh.  The score was tied at six.  Luis Perdomo came in to start the inning.   A pair of singles and a ground out put runners on second and third for the Bulls with one out.  Jason Bourgeois delivered a two-run double to put Durham ahead.

Other:  The best you can say about Cole DeVries is that he got his work in.  He surrendered six runs on eleven hits and a walk in four innings.

BOWIE 10, NEW BRITAIN 3 IN BOWIE

Batting star:  Danny Santana was 2-for-5.

Pitching stars:  Blake Martin struck out two in two shutout innings, giving up only a walk.  Aaron Thompson struck out two in a scoreless inning, giving up a hit and a walk.

Opposition stars:  Henry Urrutia was 2-for-3 with a double and scored once.  Ty Kelly was 2-for-4 with a run and three RBIs.

Key inning:  The second.  In a scoreless tie, the Baysox scored seven times.  Caleb Joseph led off the inning with a home run and Brandon Waring hit a two-run homer to make it 3-0.  Neither homer killed the rally, as a single, a walk, and a single loaded the bases, a walk brought in the fourth run, Niuman Romero hit a two-run single, and Joseph finished the scoring with a sacrifice fly.  The damage was done off starter Pat Dean, who lasted only 1.1 innings and gave up seven runs on six hits and two walks.

DUNEDIN 5, FORT MYERS 4 IN FORT MYERS

Batting stars:  Kennys Vargas was 2-for-4 with a double, scoring once and driving in one.  Aderlin Mejia was 2-for-3 with a walk and scored once.

Pitching stars:  Tom Stuifbergen pitched four innings of relief, giving up two unearned runs on five hits and no walks.

Opposition stars:  Casey Lawrence pitched 7.2 innings, giving up two runs on seven hits and a walk.  Marcus Knecht was 3-for-5 with two RBIs.  Jon Berti was 2-for-4 with a walk and a double, scoring once and driving in one.

Key inning:  The ninth.  Dunedin led 3-2 and scored twice on an error, a double, and a walk to go up 5-2.  In the bottom of the ninth, Vargas led off the inning and scored on an error.  A hit batsman put runners on first and second and an RBI single by Eddie Rosario made it 5-4, still with none out.  A bunt failed, leading to a force out and keeping runners on first and second with one out.  A strikeout was the second out, Mejia walked to lead the bases, but Stephen Wickens struck out to end the game.

CEDAR RAPIDS 6, BURLINGTON 5 IN CEDAR RAPIDS (GAME 1--SCHEDULED 7 INNINGS)

Batting stars:  Jorge Polanco was 2-for-3 with a double and a triple, scoring twice and driving in one.  Dalton Hicks was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.

Key inning:  The sixth.  The score was tied at five.  Michael Quesada hit a one-out single and was replaced by pinch-runner Jeremias Pineda.  Pineda stole second, took third on a ground out, and scored on a wild pitch with what turned out to be the winning run.

BURLINGTON 6, CEDAR RAPIDS 4 IN CEDAR RAPIDS (GAME 2--SCHEDULED 7 INNINGS)

Batting star:  Tyler Grimes was 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer, his second.
