Southwest Detroit 7, Southbend 2

Alcantara walks the leadoff batter in the eighth, but Giovanny Gallegos sets the side down thereafter. With one out in the top of the ninth, Fremont turns to Anthony Bender.

Nolan Gorman doubles in the seventh, then pinch-hitter Manuel Margot is able to single him in to give Fremont the 3-2 lead. Robert Suarez is brought n in the ninth to close it out. He allows a walk to Trevor Larnach, but that would be all as Fremont has another 1-run victory, 3-2. Yonge Street is on a 4-game homer drought.

Yonge St suffers another injury in the eighth, as a HBP knocks Joc Pederson out for 5 days. Neither team threatens again in regulation, so we go to extra innings.

Kyle Higashioka doubled to lead off the bottom of the tenth, but Emmanuel Clase is able to shut down the next three Cannons. An error and single put two on for the Stalkers in the eleventh, but neither scores. Fremont also gets two on in the bottom of the inning but fail to bring in the winner. Both sides go 1-2-3 in the twelfth. YSS’s thirteenth is uneventful. Shohei Ohtani leads off the thirteenth and is tossed after (presumably) swearing at the ump. Teoscar Hernandez singles and advances to second, but Jose Alvarado strikes out Nolan Gorman to end the threat.

Joshua Lowe draws a leadoff walk in the fourteenth, then comes home alongside Kris Bryant thanks to Bryant’s two-run homer. Trea Turner adds an insurance homerun as YSS goes up 6-3. Jose Alvarado then sets down the Cannons in order as Yonge St wins 6-3 in 14 innings. Matt Vierling had a rough day at the plate, going 0-6. Whitlock picked up 10 strikeouts in 7.1 IP in the no-decision. After d’Arnaud’s departure, the Cannons tested Austin Nola’s arm but only came up 2-4 on steals.

L: Anthony Bender (1-0)

HR: YSS- Trea Turner (16), Joc Pederson (12), Kris Bryant (4); FRE- Joshua Rojas (4), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (16)

A sac bunt in the sixth advances runners to 2nd and 3rd for Fremont. A grounder is enough to score pinch-runner Austin Hays on a play at the plate to make it 3-0. A sac fly from Javier Baez then scores another. Shohei Ohtani is plunked and injured, but fortunately only for the day, allowing him to pitch game 6 still. Yonge St finally gets on the board thanks to a Matt Vierling sac fly. They claw another back with a Joey Meneses homer in the eighth to make it 4-2. Alcantara is left in to close it out, but gives up a leadoff walk to Adley Rutschman in the ninth.
