INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS 6, ST. PAUL SAINTS 5 IN ST. PAUL

Aided by three walks, Indianapolis put up a three-spot in the first inning.  Undaunted, St. Paul tied it with three in the second, as Patrick Winkel hit a two-run homer and Anthony Prato followed with a solo shot.  They took the lead in the fourth when Carson McCusker singled and later scored on a ground out.  The lead was short-lived, however, as Indianapolis scored another three in the fifth.  They were once again aided by walks, two of them this time, plus a wild pitch.  Jeferson Morales singled home a run in the fifth to cut the margin to 6-5, but that was as close as the Saints would come.  They got the tying run to third in the seventh and Prato hit a leadoff double in the ninth, but it was for naught.  St. Paul was 1-for-13 with men in scoring position.

WICHITA WIND SURGE 7, SPRINGFIELD CARDINALS 0 IN WICHITA

Tanner Schobel led off the bottom of the first with a triple and scored on a Rubel Cespedes single.  That was all Wichita would need, as four pitchers combined for a three-hit shutout.

It wasn't all they got, of course.  In fact, they scored another in the first, on a Kala'i Rosario double.  They added four in the third, as Ricardo Olivar led off the inning with a home run and later in the inning Noah Cardenas hit a three-run homer.  The final run came in the seventh on a Jake Rucker RBI single.

It stayed 2-1 until the sixth, when Tayden Hall drove in Hedbert Perez with a double.  Perez homered in the eighth to give Wisconsin a 3-2 lead.  They got an insurance run in the ninth on another pair of errors and a wild pitch.  The four Kernels errors cost them the game, although going 2-for-12 with men in scoring position didn't help, either.

Yohander Martinez homered in the third to start the scoring.  In the fourth, Angel Del Rosario walked with two out and stole second and third, Maddux Houghton walked and stole second, and a throwing error brought them both home to make the score 3-0.  Dante Nori singled home a run in the fifth to get Clearwater on the board, but Fort Myers responded with two in the sixth.  Del Rosario tripled and scored on a single by Maddux Houghton, who in turn scored on a Peyton Carr double.  Clearwater came back with two in the seventh and had the tying run on base with two out, but their last seven batters were retired.
