NORFOLK AT ST. PAUL

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.

Batters:  Tanner Schobel was 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs.

Pitchers:  Starter Connor Prielipp struck out six in 3.2 innings, but gave up two runs on three hits and no walks.  John Klein pitched 3.1 innings, giving up a run on three hits and a walk and striking out three.  John Stankiewicz struck out three in a perfect inning.

Opponents:  Romeo Sanabria was 4-for-4 with a home run (his fifth), a double, and three runs.  Marcos Castanon was 2-for-3 with a home run (his fifth) and three RBIs.  Nerwilian Cedeno was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

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.

Batters:  Kaelen Culpepper was 2-for-3 with a home run (his fifth) and two RBIs.  Khadim Diaw was 0-for-0 with three walks and a run.

Pitchers:  Tanner Hall pitched four innings, giving up an unearned run on three hits and three walks and striking out two.  Samuel Perez struck out two in a perfect inning.

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.

Batters:  Poncho Ruiz was 2-for-4 with a double and a run.  Dameury Pena was 2-for-5.

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.

Batters:  Eduardo Beltre was 1-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.

Pitchers:  Starter Yoel Roque pitched just a third of an inning, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and a walk.  But the bullpen came through in a big way.  Will Armbruester pitched 2.2 scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out two.  Sebastian Pulido struck out one in a perfect inning.  Miguel Cordero struck out five in three perfect innings.

Opponents:  Cayman Goode pitched five innings, giving up one run on five hits and a walk and striking out four.
