Fresno 15, Memphis 14
W- Dean Deetz (1-0)
L- Tommy Layne (2-1)
S- Riley Ferrell (2, 9 season)
Fresno home runs: Nick Tanielu (4, 8 season; 2-run in 2nd), Jack Mayfield (13, solo in 5th), Kyle Tucker (16, 2-run in 7th), A.J. Reed (24, 3-run in 8th)
29 runs, 27 hits, six home runs. Fortunately, when the dust settled, the Grizzlies emerged on top. Just barely.
The four home run hitters for Fresno also accounted for 14 RBI. The one run that was not driven in came in the 7th when Yordan Alvarez scored on an error following a sac bunt from Garrett Stubbs.
The pitchers allowed 14, but the offense scored 15 and that's all that matters. Matt Ramsey allowed a hit and struck out two over two scoreless. Dean Deetz struck out one in a 1-2-3 7th, and Riley Ferrell got Carson Kelly to fly out to end the game.
Fresno has Wednesday off as they make the journey back to the Central Valley. They'll start a four-game series with Albuquerque on Thursday.
Corpus Christi 4, Tulsa 1
W- Ryan Hartman (10-3)
L- Justin DeFratus (4-4)
S- Akeem Bostick (3)
CC home runs: Ronnie Dawson (2, 12 season; solo in 5th)

The one run that Hartman allowed in his five innings came on a home run in the 4th inning. He allowed three other hits and struck out six. Bostick took it home with four no-hit innings; he walked one and struck out six.
Ryne Birk opened the scoring by ripping a two-run double in the 2nd inning. Ronnie Dawson smacked a solo homer in the 5th and Chas McCormick followed with a single. McCormick then stole second and scored the final run of the evening on an error that allowed Randy César to reach. Dawson and Birk had two hits apiece; McCormick's steal gives him 8 with Corpus Christi and 15 on the season.

Buies Creek 5, Down East 1 in 11 innings
W- Enoli Paredes (2-1, 4-4 season)
L- Josh Altmann (0-2)
BC home runs: J.J. Matijevic (13, 16 season; 2-run in 11th)
Down to their final out, the Carolina Stros managed to tie the game and then erupted for four runs in the 11th to win the series opener in Kinston. With this victory, Buies Creek has won the first edition of the Lone Star Series in North Carolina; they currently lead the season series 12-8 with two games remaining.
Buies Creek had the bases loaded in the 8th but Seth Beer struck out to end the threat. Jake Adams led off the 9th and advanced to second on a balk. Cody Bohanek drew a walk and they both advanced on a sac bunt from Carlos Canelón. Jonathan Arauz got a free pass to first to set up a double play anywhere and that prompted the Wood Ducks to make a pitching change. Corey Julks popped out in foul territory for the second out and it was all up to J.J. Matijevic. He fell behind 1-2 but took three straight balls to tie the game. The real fun began in the 11th inning.
Bohanek led off the inning in scoring position and advanced to third on another sac bunt from Canelón. Arauz drew another walk. Down 0-2, Julks put Buies Creek in front with a two-run double and Matijevic provided the cherry with a two-run home run. They won this game despite striking out 20 times. Julks finished 2-6 and was the only player on either side to finish with a multi-hit game.
Gabriel Valdez got the start and he allowed the Wood Ducks' one run on five hits and struck out six in five innings. Peter Solomon tagged in to throw four scoreless, allowing two hits and fanning six. Enoli Paredes got the two extra innings and struck out one in a perfect outing (aside from the leadoff runners) to get the win.
Game two of this series will kick off at 7:00 Eastern.

Angel Macuare was the first man out of the GCLstros bullpen and allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits, walked two, and struck out four in three innings.

Juan Paulino launched his first career homer, a two-run blast in the 5th.
