ROCHESTER 7, BUFFALO 0 IN ROCHESTER
Four singles produced two Red Wings runs in the second. In the third, four doubles, a single, and two walks brought home four runs to make it 6-0 and Rochester cruised to a win. They really should have had more runs--they had seventeen hits and five walks but stranded fourteen runners.
The cruising was made possible by David Hurlbut, who had his best game of the season. He struck out seven in seven shutout innings, giving up four hits and two walks. Mason Melotakis made his Red Wings debut with a perfect inning. Kam Mickolio also pitched a perfect inning. Matt Hague was 3-for-4 with a double and a walk. John Ryan Murphy was 3-for-5 with two doubles. Zack Granite was 3-for-5 with a double and is batting .349. J. B. Shuck was 2-for-3 with two walks. Tommy Field was 2-for-4 with a double. Mitch Garver and ByungHo Park were each 2-for-5 with a double.
