The Mobsters capitalized on their opportunities as Andrew McCutchen sent one deep for a homer, helping to establish their lead.

Smith-Shawver was pressured early and couldn’t contain the Mobsters’ bats. Despite a late push and strategic pinch hitting by the Skyliners’ manager, they only managed to plate a single run. In relief, Prelander Berroa & Yennier Cano held firm, nurturing the Mobsters’ lead, which stood unassailable until the game’s conclusion.

| Game #3: | Ferguson gets the “opener” start in this one as he was only rated starter not fatigued. He goes 1, 1 hit and Clase takes over in the 2nd. Columbus scores 2 in the 2nd and it was all they needed as Peterson goes the distance giving up 2 hits and an unearned run in the 5th. Pache doubles in 3 in the 6th for insurance and a 5-1 Columbus win. ARB 1-2-0 LP Clase (1-3) COL 5-9-1 WP Peterson (1-3) |

| Game #6: | Tough game for Rats – Bryant gets hit by pitch and will miss 20 days. Lowe runs into wall and will miss 12 days. Game was close as Rats kept staying just ahead of Columbus and Soler (4) and Heyward (1) homer and Vierling drives in 2 of the 4 Rats runs.

Mesa Solar Sox @ Virginia Sluggers |
|
|---|---|
| Preview: | Two teams holding up the bottom of the AL Central Division. Virginia fighting injuries again this season as they have not escaped a series without significant injuries. Fingers crossed. |

| Game #2: | VIR 6-5 W- L.Castillo (2-3) L- B.Raley (1-1) SV- R.Borucki (5)
A heartbreaker for MSS and starter C.Javier. Leading 3-1 after 7 innings Javier left it to the pen. Oopps! S.Murphy bloops a 1-out single in the 8th for VIR’s 2nd hit of the game. Reynolds doubles, Jimenez IBB (bases loaded), Merrifield a SF, Rizzo a 2-run double, Palacios an RBI double, Springer a RBI single and it’s 6-3 VIR. MSS made it close with E.Suarez’ 2-run shot in the 9th but Borucki came in to shut the door. |

| Game #5: | VIR 9-6 W- Y.Chirinos (2-2) L- K.Waldichuk (1-4) SV I.Hamilton (1)
A 6-run 4th pretty much put the game away for VIR. In the 4th, 2-runs scored on a Merrifield hit and error, a Devers RBI single, a Murphy 2-run homer and a Jimenez solo shot. With an 8-2 lead it was just a matter of holding MSS from scoring too many runs. Suarez’ 2-run single and Suwinski’s 2-run blast helped MSS but they still fell short. |
| Game #6: | MSS 9-0 W- P.Lopez (3-2) N.Lodolo (1-3)
MSS got back on the winning track in a big way. Lopez held VIR to 3 hits and K’d 9 while the batters banged out 14 hits. G.Henderson was 3-3 with a triple and 2 RBI and Tovar was 4-5 with a double and 2 RBI and T.Ward chipped in a solo homer. |

| Summary: | VIR takes the series 4-3 in spite of the constant injuries. |
