Lots of offense and Stephen Gonsalves carry the Red Wings.  Brent Rooker hits his fifteenth homer.  Taylor Grzelakowski and Griffin Jax lead the Miracle.  Another good game for Blayne Enlow.  Josh Winder does well and gets good support (though not from the bullpen).  A key error sinks the GCL Twins.  Anthony Escobar throws five no-hit innings for the DSL Twins.

The Kernels scored single runs in the fifth and sixth to go ahead 3-1 and got an insurance run in the eighth to go ahead 4-2.  Neither team scored more than one run in an inning.  I wonder what the highest-scoring game is where no one scored more than one run in an inning.
