Long Beach Dirt Bags @ Jersey Nor’easters |
|

Triple Creek Patriots @ Baltimore Comets |
|
|---|---|
| Series Preview: | The Triple Creek Patriots (33-44) 3rd place in the N.L. West, sitting 23.5 games back, visit the N.L. East 2nd place Baltimore Comets (39-37) 4 games behind. |
| Game #1: | Ryan Yarbrough mesmerizes, going 8 innings and limiting the Patriots to no runs on 6 hits. Kenley Jansen finishes off the shutout, tossing a scoreless ninth. Shane Bieber was nearly as impressive, limiting the Comets to 2 hits, but it was a Joey Gallo double and Josh Donaldson RBI single that proved to be the difference.
PATRIOTS 0 / 6 / 0 |
| Game #2: | Triple Creek must have left their bats at home as they are shutout for the second consecutive day. Bruce Zimmerman goes the distance, allowing only a pair of singles. Jorge Polanco doubled and hit a pair of homeruns (#s 10 & 11), and Josh Donaldson added his 12th homerun of the season to pace the Baltimore offense.
PATRIOTS 0 / 2 / 0 |
| Game #3: | The tables turn in game 3 as Frank Montas NO HITS Baltimore. Montas struck out 10 Comets and only walked one in earning his 8th victory of the season. Lourdes Gurriel and Stephen Piscotty each had a pair of hits for the Patriots.
PATRIOTS 3 / 9 / 0 |
| Game #4: | Baltimore takes advantage of Kevin Gausman’s early exit, after he clunks 3 Comet batters in the first 3 2/3 innings, to pound out an 11-1 victory. Jorge Polanco (#12), Joey Gallo (#14), Josh Bell (#13), and Josh Donaldson (#13) go deep for the Comets.
PATRIOTS 1 / 7 / 1 |
| Game #5: | Baltimore cruises into the 9th with a 5-3 lead and Kenley Jansen on the hill. Jansen had saved 10 straight … game over … but not so fast … following a walk to Will Smith, Jansen hits Corey Seager to put 2 on with one out, and Jonathan Villar makes him pay, clubbing one out of the park for a 6-5 Patriot win. Villar hit 2 round-trippers in this one (#s 8 & 9), Corey Bellinger hit his 8th. Aaron Judge (#19) and Hunter Renfroe (#s 16 & 17) homered for the Comets.
PATRIOTS 6 / 9 / 0 |
| Game #6: | I’m not sure what got into Ryan Yarbrough this series, but he shuts down the Triple Creek lineup again. This time Yarbrough goes the distance, allowing 0 runs on 4 hits, striking out 9. Josh Bell (#14) and Jorge Polanco (#13) homer for Baltimore.
PATRIOTS 0 / 4 / 3 |
| Game #7: | Bruce Zimmerman has another strong outing, only allowing a run on 5hits, striking out 10, over 8 innings to lead Baltimore to a 3-1 win. Aaron Judge’s 3 run blast in the third (#20) provided all the offense for the Comets. Corey Seager doubled twice, walked, and scored the Patriots’ lone run.
PATRIOTS 1 / 5 / 0 |
| Series Summary: | Baltimore’s pitching greatly overachieves in this series, pitching three shutouts and winning 5 of 7.
The series headline however is the Frank Montas no hitter. Baltimore is playing well at the mid-point of the season, but there is a tough stretch coming up to start the second half. It’s doubtful the starting pitching can continue to perform at the level they have been. |

| Game #5: | FRE 4-2 Guerrero’s 3 run blast in the 3rd and Yastrzemski’s solo shot in the 4th were 2 of only 3 hits FRE got. But that was all it took. VIR had 6 hits but could only manage 2 runs. |
| Game #6: | VIR 8-5 Homers by Reynolds and Springer helped VIR score 7 runs in the first 3 innings, but FRE came back to come close and it was VIR’s pen that shut FRE down the last 3 innings by only allowing 1 hit. BTW Ohtani hit #32,…so he has 32 in 84 games. Could he get to 60? A real good chance. |
| Series Summary: | FRE took the series 4-2 because,…well they have the better team. It’s that simple. |

MSS adds another in the T3 when Tellez 1bs, Grichuk bbs, and Duvall with an rbi-1b. SBL get back into the game in the B3 when Cave 1bs, Wynns 1bs, Canha rips a 2-run 3b, K.Tucker bbs, and Muncy with an rbi-1b. But MSS would not be denied in this game as they put 6 run s on the board in the T6 starting with a Baddoo solo-HR, Gomes 1b, Santana 1bs, Berti bbs, Anderson with a 2-run 1b, Tellez SF, and a Grichuk 2-run HR.

MSS ties the game in the T4 with a Grichuk solo-HR as he makes up for his error. MSS then retakes the lead in the T5 when Berti 1bs, and then scores on a Robert H&R rbi-1b as Alford is a little casual playing the ball. MSS adds another run in the T6 on a 2 out Santana bb and a Wong rbi-3b. MSS pitching is strong after the 3rd as Lopez and Bednar hold SBL scoreless thru the 8th inning. MSS calls on Pressly to close out the game in the B9 and after Mayfield Ks, Canha hits a solo-HR to pull SBL within a run; Bichette then 2bs, Altuve is IW, Bichette then steals 3rd, MSS plays Deep for the DP and Meadows hits a grounder to Wong, but they can’t turn the DP as Meadows beats the throw to 1b and Bichette scores to tie the game at 6-6!

After MSS gets 2 runs in the T3 on a Anderson solo-HR and a Gomes rbi-1b things got worse for MSS D.Lynch in the B3 as he gives up 4 more runs with the big hit an Escobar 2-run 2b. MSS and SBL would trade runs in the 5th and MSS would pull within 3 at 8-5 on a Duvall 2-run HR in the T6. But SBL gets one in the B& and then puts it away with 5 runs in the B8 highlighted by a Meadows Grandslam (his 3rd HR of the game) . SBL WP-J.Yamamoto / MSS LP-D.Lynch Southbend 14, Mesa 7 |
| Game #7: | MSS D.Smyly vs SBL F.Peralta
SBL scores in the B1 when Fraley bbs, Bichette is HBP, and K.Tucker with an rbi-1b. That would be all the runs SBL F.Peralta would need as he goes 6IP giving up only 4 hits, 0 runs, while walking 1 and fanning 4. The SBL bullpen of Barnes, Jackson, and Steckenrider would throw the last 3 innings for the win. SBL added runs in the 4th, 5th, and 8th inning to close out the scoring, SBL WP-F.Peralta Sv-D.Steckenrider / MSS LP-D.Smyly Southbend 5, Mesa 0 |
| Series Summary: | Southbend surprisingly takes the series 6-1 over Mesa. |
