Pinstriped Performances: A Double Suspension

The rain hung around Worcester yet again and caused the resumption of Scranton’s matchup with the WooSox from yesterday to be suspended once again, while the second matchup was also postponed. Tampa and Hudson Valley won and Somerset lost to close out the week.

Somerset Patriots (40-25): Richmond mounted a furious comeback off the Patriots bullpen and came away with an 8-7 win.

• Star of the Game: Oswaldo Cabrera – 3-for-5, 1 home run (12), 1 double, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 strikeout. Cabrera was just a triple away from the cycle and moved into sole possession of second place in home runs on the Patriots
• Diego Castillo: 0-for-2, 3 walks, 2 runs scored
• Oswald Peraza: 1-for-5, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout
• Brandon Lockridge: 2-for-4, 1 strikeout
• Isiah Gilliam: 3-for-4, 1 double
• Ken Waldichuk: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 7 K, 89 pitches (54 strikes). Waldichuk was cruising along until the sixth inning, when he surrendered a walk, a double, and a home run that pulled Richmond within one and ended his day
• Elvis Peguero: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 26 pitches (19 strikes)
• Ron Marinaccio: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 19 pitches (15 strikes)

Hudson Valley Renegades (43-23): The ‘Gades cracked another three round-trippers to win their third straight over Wilmington 9-4.

• Star of the Game: Chad Bell – 1-for-3, 1 home run (6), 3 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 walk. Bell’s three-run shot in the fourth gave HV a lead they’d never relinquish
• Anthony Volpe: 0-for-5, 3 strikeouts
• Jake Sanford: 2-for-4, 1 home run (2), 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout. Sanford went deep to tie the game at one, three hitters before Bell’s go-ahead bomb
• Elijah Dunham: 3-for-4, 1 double, 2 runs scored, 1 stolen base
• Pablo Olivares: 2-for-4, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, 1 run scored
• Saul Torres: 1-for-4, 1 home run (1), 3 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout. Torres, who never played at Low-A and made his full-season ball debut this year, now has his first full-season ball home run
• Alex Vizcaino: 1 IP, 0 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 24 pitches (8 strikes). The prized young prospect is evidently still figuring out his command after a lengthy injury absence
• Josh Maciejewski: 5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, 86 pitches (59 strikes). Maciejewski took home a well-deserved win for yeoman’s work in long relief
• Charlie Ruegger: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 18 pitches (9 strikes)
• Matt Minnick: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 17 pitches (10 strikes)

Tampa Tarpons (45-20): The Tarpons closed out a tidy 5-2 week with a 5-4 win over Lakeland.

• Star of the Game: Everson Pereira – 2-for-2, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 walk, 1 caught stealing. Pereira’s clutch one-out single in the seventh scored what later amounted to two crucial insurance runs. The 20-year-old is hitting an impressive .412 in nine games so far with the Tarpons
• Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-4, 1 strikeout
• Ryder Green: 3-for-4
• Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-4, 1 RBI

• Anderson Munoz: 3.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 52 pitches (33 strikes). Munoz got the win and has pitched incredibly well of late, accumulating a 1.74 ERA in four July appearances
• Carson Coleman: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 17 pitches (10 strikes)
• Edgar Barclay: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 14 pitches (12 strikes). Barclay is further solidifying his status as the Tampa Swiss Army knife, coming in to stabilize the ship and grab his second save after Lakeland closed the deficit to one
