Five games tonight for us to soak in...
Down East sent Gavin Collyer to the mound as their starter. Collyer went 3.2 IP, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks, striking out four. Teodoro Ortega allowed five unearned runs in an inning of work. Marc Church struck out five of the eight batters he faced in 2.1 shutout innings.
Luisangel Acuna tore shit up tonight, with a five for five night that included a double and a homer, as well as a stolen base, raising his OPS on the season to 804. As a reminder, he’s only four months older than Jordan Lawlar. Dustin Harris and Keithron Moss each had a walk and a homer. Thomas Saggese had a double and two walks. Cody Freeman had a pair of hits. Jayce Easley had a single, an HBP and two walks.

Hickory romped with an 8-0 shutout. Cole Ragans started and went three innings — less than usual, but then, he’s appearing in the Futures Game Sunday, so I’m sure they wanted him to throw fewer pitches than normal. 2 Ks and 1 walk, with three hits allowed. Justin Slaten had his second straight scoreless outing, striking out ten in six innings while walking just one.
Jonathan Ornelas had three hits. Blaine Crim was 2 for 5 with a homer. Kellen Strahm had a hit and a walk.

Damian Mendoza started in Arizona. He allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk in 2.2 IP, striking out three. Destin Dotson struck out two in 2.1 scoreless innings.
Justin Foscue and Sam Huff were both in the lineup for the complex Rangers. Huff has been in a few games, but this is Foscue’s first game back. Huff was two for four with a pair of doubles, while Foscue was 0 for 3. Angel Aponte and Yosy Galan were each two for four. Zion Bannister had a hit.
