PCL Championship Series: Sacramento 4, Round Rock 2

Sacramento leads series 2-0.

W- Dan Winkler
L- Brendan McCurry
S- Enderson Franco

RR home runs: Ronnie Dawson (2, solo in 7th)

Well, the E-Train is up against it now. Sacramento scored three in the bottom of the 6th to take control after Round Rock had tied it in the top half.

Brandon Bielak allowed a run on four hits, walked two, and struck out three in five innings of work. Brendan McCurry got the 6th and struck out the side... but he also allowed three runs on four hits, one of which was a solo homer. Riley Ferrell got the last two innings and allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out three.

Nick Tanielu ripped an RBI double in the 6th and Ronnie Dawson launched a solo homer in the 7th; he's homered in both games of this series.

After a day off, the series will resume in Round Rock on Friday. Rogelio Armenteros is listed as the starter for game three and he'll face Carlos Navas.

Mills Cup: Wilmington 5, Fayetteville 4

Series tied 1-1.

W- Andrew Beckwith
L- Riley Cabral
S- Tad Ratliff

Fayetteville home runs: Scott Manea (1, solo in 2nd)

The Blue Rocks scored three in the bottom of the 7th to take the lead and even up the series.

Austin Hansen and Leovanny Rodriguez both threw three innings and they both allowed a run on two hits. Hansen's run was earned because it came on a solo homer and he also walked five while striking out six. Leovanny's run came on an RBI single and was unearned; he also walked one.

Riley Cabral came on for the 7th. He got two outs via the strikeout and the Blue Rocks' three runs in the inning were all unearned; one of them was an inherited runner that was charged to him. Wilmington got a two-run single with two outs off of him, because of course they did. Jacob Billingsley got the final out of the 7th, but not before he allowed the go-ahead RBI single. He got the 8th and overall, he allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out one in 1.1 innings.

Chandler Taylor lashed an RBI double in the 1st to open the scoring. Scott Manea whacked a solo homer in the 2nd, Ruben Castro grounded into a force out to score Taylor in the 4th, and Taylor tripled to lead off the 6th and scored on Michael Papierski's single. Taylor and Cal Stevenson finished with two hits apiece.

The Mills Cup Series now heads south to Fayetteville. Nivaldo Rodriguez will get the call for game three and he'll take on Kris Bubic at 6:00 Eastern.
