Rained out.  Will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday.

SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS 5, WICHITA WIND SURGE 4 IN SAN ANTONIO

Marcos Castanon singled home a run in the second, but Wichita tied it in the third.  Romeo Sanabria homered in the fourth, and it stayed 2-1 until the seventh, when Wichita loaded the bases on two singles and a walk and Kyler Fedco unloaded them with a three-run double.  It was 4-2 Wichita, and it looked like that would hold up.  But in the bottom of the ninth, two singles put runners on the corners, a sacrifice fly tied the score, and a two-out double by Nerwilian Cedeno scored the deciding run for San Antonio.

CEDAR RAPIDS KERNELS 5, FORT WAYNE TINCAPS 1 IN FORT WAYNE (5 INNINGS)

After a rain dealy, Kaelen Culpepper led off the game with a home run.  It stayed 1-0 until the fourth, when Cedar Rapids put up an Abe Lincoln inning to go up 5-0.  Fort Wayne got their lone run in the bottom of the fourth on Brendan Durfee's RBI single.  They completed the fifth, then called it a night.

LAKELAND FLYING TIGERS 13, FORT MYERS MIGHTY MUSSELS 3 IN LAKELAND

It got late early for Fort Myers.  Ricardo Hurtado hit a two-run single in a four-run first.  Miguel Briceno singled home a run for Fort Myers in the second, but Lakeland responded with five in the bottom of the inning.  Jackson Strong hit a two-run triple and David Smith a two-run single in the inning.  It was 10-1 when Fort Myers scored two in the fifth, but that was as good as it got.  Lakeland scored three more in the seventh to close out the win.

Record:  Fort Myers is 19-21, in fifth place, four games behind Dunedin.

FCL TWINS 5, FCL BRAVES 4 AT TWINS

It was back to a seven-inning game, so we have no idea why they played nine yesterday.  The Braves scored all of their runs in the first, two of them on a Diego Benitez single.  It stayed 4-0 until the fifth, when Bryan Acuna singled home a run.  The Twins then scored four in the sixth, the last two coming on an Eduardo Beltre double to put the Twins ahead.  The Braves all went down on strikes in the seventh to end the game.

IOWA CUBS 1, ST. PAUL SAINTS 0 IN IOWA

In a marked contrast to the last couple of games, this one was a pitchers' duel.  The lone run scored on an Owen Caissie homer in the fourth.  The Saints had five hits and a walk but stranded only three due to a double play, a caught stealing, and an out on the base.  They struck out eleven times.
