L- Tyler Davis (3-3)

Lancaster home runs: Jason Martin (13, 2-run in 4th)

The JetHawks swept the series as the bats came alive to support a strong outing from Brock Dykxhoorn.

Jason Martin's 2-run home run in the 4th put Lancaster on the scoreboard and tied the game at 2. Lancaster took control of this game in the 6th inning as Jamie Ritchie smacked a 2-run double and Keach Ballard followed with an RBI double. Ballard drove in the final run of the evening with an RBI single in the 8th.

Martin, Ritchie, and Ballard all had 2 hits and 2 RBI; Ritchie also stole his 2nd base of the season. Bryan Muñiz finished 3-5 with a double and scored 3 runs. Martin (2) and Ramon Laureano (1) scored the other 3 Lancaster runs.

Arturo Michelena opened the scoring with an RBI infield single in the 2nd inning.

Alex DeGoti hit a 2-run single in the 2nd inning to put Tri-City on the board. Carmen Benedetti added an RBI single in the 3rd, and Stephen Wrenn whacked his first of two solo shots in the 4th inning. Wrenn went deep again in the 7th.

Brett Adcock faced two hitters and allowed hits to both of them before he left with an injury. To add insult to injury, they both scored after he left. Kevin Hill did not allow any runs of his own in 2 innings of work, but the two runners he inherited from Adcock both scored. Hill allowed a hit, walked 1, and struck out 2. Luis Ramirez pitched 3 innings and allowed 4 runs on 4 hits and walked 3, and Howie Brey allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2 in 2 innings.

In the 5th inning, Rodrigo Ayarza hit an RBI groundout, and Jake Rogers reached on an error that allowed Stephen Wrenn to reach base. Rogers hit an RBI single in the 6th. The ValleyCats' other hit in game 2 was a single from Randy César.

Austin Nicely went 3 innings and allowed 6 runs on 9 hits (2-run homer) and walked 1. Nick Hernandez threw 3 innings and struck out 4; the only hit he allowed was a solo home run. Chris Cotton struck out the side in order in the 7th inning.

Greeneville 14, Princeton 3

W- Patrick Sandoval (1-0)
L- Resly Linares (0-1)
S- Diogenes Almengo (1)

Greeneville home runs: Miguelangel Sierra (2, 2-run in 3rd), Connor MacDonald (1, solo in 4th), Frankeny Fernandez (1, solo in 4th), Spencer Johnson (2, 2-run in 6th)

The Appy Astros broke a 4-game losing streak in emphatic fashion with an offensive explosion.

Bryan De La Cruz hit a double with 1 out in the 2nd and came around to score the first run of the evening on an error following a Jonathan Arauz strikeout. Miguelangel Sierra bashed a 2-run homer in the 3rd inning. Gabriel Bracamonte hit an RBI single in the 4th, and later in the inning, Connor MacDonald and Frankeny Fernandez hit back-to-back solo homers.

Tyler Wolfe hit a 2-run single in the 5th, and Spencer Johnson clubbed a 2-run home run in the 6th inning. Wolfe drove in another run with a groundout in the 7th, and MacDonald and Fernandez followed by hitting back-to-back RBI triples. Fernandez scored Greeneville's final run of the evening on an error that allowed Sierra to reach and advance to 2nd.

MacDonald had a monster night as he hit for the cycle and scored 4 runs. He singled to lead off the 3rd, homered in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, and finished off the first cycle in Greeneville's history with the RBI triple in the 7th inning. Everyone in the lineup had a hit; Fernandez (3B, HR, 2 RBI, 2 R), De La Cruz (2B, 3 R), and Bracamonte (2B, RBI, R) all had 2 hits in the game. Arauz and Fernandez scored 2 runs apiece.

Patrick Sandoval pitched 5.2 innings, and the only blemish on his line was a 3-run homer in the 4th inning. He allowed 5 other hits and struck out 4. Diogenes Almengo walked 2 and struck out 1 in 3.1 scoreless innings to get the save.

Game 2 of this series is at 7:00 Eastern.

DSL Royals 4, DSL Astros Blue 3

W- Francis Chavez (2-0)
L- Juan Cuevas (4-1)

Blue home runs: None.

The Blue team dropped their first game to a team other than the Red Sox 1. They scored 3 in the 1st inning but were unable to add to that, and they ended up walking off with a loss.

Alfredo Angarita singled to begin the game and Ronny Jimenez joined him on the basepaths after getting plunked. Angarita scored the first run of the day on an RBI single from Jose Benjamin. Jimenez, who advanced to 3rd on the play, scored on a Samir Caraballo groundout, and Benjamin scored on an Orlando Marquez strikeout that was also ruled a wild pitch. Jimenez finished 2-3.

Felipe Tejada failed to get out of the 1st inning; he allowed 2 runs (1 inherited runner charged to him), a sacrifice fly, walked 4, and struck out 1. Robert Corniel pitched 3.1 innings and allowed a single that scored one of Tejada's runners and walked 1. Carlos Perdomo walked 2, hit a batter, and struck out 1 over 3 scoreless innings, and Juan Cuevas allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 1.1 innings.

The Blue team will take on the Rays 1 today. First pitch is at 10:30 AM Eastern.

Renaigel Martis hit a 2-run home run in the 5th inning to put Team Orange on the board. Jose Abel Hernandez was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 9th. Martis' homer was their only extra-base hit of the game.

He allowed 3 hits, 2 of which were home runs (solo and grand slam), and struck out 8. Jacques Sambo went 2 innings and allowed a run on 3 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4.
