-- Chris Volstad had his best game with the Pirates' organization as Indianapolis shut out Lehigh Valley, 4-0. Volstad went seven innings, allowing just three hits and a walk, and fanning seven. The Iron Pigs had just four hits for the game, three by Chase d'Arnaud. Steve Lombardozzi went 3-5 with a double. Alen Hanson was 1-5. Tony Sanchez had a rare CS against d'Arnaud.
-- Josh Bell (pictured) hit his second HR of the season as Altoona beat Erie, 6-3. Bell finished 2-5, as did Max Moroff, who also doubled. Edward Salcedo was 2-4 with a double. Willy Garcia was 1-4. Zack Dodson allowed two runs, one earned, in six innings on four hits. He walked none and fanned two.
-- Bradenton lost to Fort Myers, 4-3, in twelve innings. Luis Heredia had a shaky start, allowing only one run but giving up nine hits in four and a third innings. Heredia walked none and struck out one. The Marauders' offense came on long balls, a two-run shot by JaCoby Jones and a solo HR by Erich Weiss. The HRs were Jones' seventh and Weiss' second. Austin Meadows was 2-4 and Reese McGuire didn't play. Harold Ramirez and Kawika Emsley-Pai each went 2-5. Emsley-Pai moved up from West Virginia, so Jin-De Jhang, who came out of Thursday's game, is probably hurt.
-- West Virginia fell to Rome, 5-4. Starter Colten Brewer recovered from a rough first two innings to last six, giving up three runs, two earned, on six hits and a walk. He struck out three. The Power had only six hits, all singles. Jerrick Suiter was 2-2. Cole Tucker was out of the lineup again; I imagine he has some minor injury. Connor Joe also didn't play.
-- The DSL Pirates gave up four runs in the bottom of the 9th to lose to the Rangers2, 8-7. Starter Domingo Robles gave up one run in five innings on five hits and a walk. He struck out one. Yondry Contreras was 0-3 with two walks. Jeremias Portorreal was 2-5. Eddy Vizcaino and Melvin Jimenez also had two hits each.
