Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (8-6)
BINGHAMTON 6, NEW HAMPSHIRE 2 (BOX)
The Fisher Cats left fielder Yohendrick Pinango led off the ballgame with a home run against Jonah Tong and scored another run off of him in the fourth, but both runs were negated in the fifth when Jett Williams and Nick Lorusso drove in a run apiece to re-set the table at 2-2. Both teams put men on and threatened, but neither was able to actually drive in any runs until Binghamton struck in the eighth. Some shoddy defense in the form of back-to-back errors by second baseman Eddinson Paulino to start the frame and a passed ball by catcher Jacob Sharp eventually led to four Rumble Pony runs. Luis Moreno pitched a clean ninth, and Binghamton won their fifth in a row.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (10-6)
JERSEY SHORE 3, BROOKLYN 1 (BOX)
This was an easily winnable ballgame, and shame on Brooklyn for losing! Jersey Shore starter Casey Steward did not have his best stuff, but he mowed down the Cyclones lineup for six innings. Noah Hall kept pace with Steward initially, but he was walking a tightrope all evening, scattering seven hits and walking two, and the BlueClaws finally broke through in the fifth with a run. The Brooklyn bullpen did their best to keep Jersey Shore limited to that single run, and for a while, they were able to, but in the bottom of the eighth, Layonel Ovalles cracked, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk. Those runs really came at an inopportune time, as Brooklyn finally got on the board in the top of the ninth on a Jacob Reimer RBI double. Christopher Suero got hit by a pitch in his right hand, and as such, the Cyclones were able to get the tying run on base, but Estarling Mercado flied out to shallow center to end things.
- CF Carson Benge: 0-4
- SS Jesus Baez: 1-4, R, 2B
- LF Eli Serrano III: 1-4, 2B
- 3B Jacob Reimer: 1-4, 2B, RBI, K

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (9-7)
ST. LUCIE 3, DAYTONA 2 / 10 (BOX)
The St. Lucie Mets started off their series against Daytona with an exciting win in extra innings. Daytona first baseman Carter Graham doubled in a run in the fourth, and for a while, it looked like that might be the game. Coming into the ninth inning, St. Lucie managed just three base runners, a Marco Vargas single in the first, an A.J. Ewing walk in the eighth, and a Yonotan Henriquez double. With one out in the ninth, Colin Houck staved off those ACC recruiters with a solo homer that tied the game, a 421 blast that sailed over the left field wall that left his bat at 106 MPH, a season-high and the second-highest exit velo he has ever recorded in the organization. The game went into extras, and as is usually the case, a team scored. Daytona plated a run in the top of the tenth, forcing St. Lucie to score two for the win. That’s exactly what they did, with Yohairo Cuevas drawing a bases-loaded walk to tie things up and Jeremy Rodriguez drawing a bases-loaded walk for the win, a literal walk-off.
- 2B Jeremy Rodriguez: 0-4, RBI, BB
- 3B Colin Houck: 1-4, R, HR (3), RBI, 3 K
- SS Marco Vargas: 1-3, BB
- CF A.J. Ewing: 0-3, R, BB, K, SB (11)
