The Tarpons and Renegades romped to close out their first mini-series of the season. Last year’s format, with a six-game set spanning the entire week, begins on Tuesday.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (4-1): Scranton was foiled by the weather in its bid to take five of six from Syracuse. The matchup with the Mets will be made up on June 8.

Somerset Patriots (2-1): Somerset could not make an early 3-0 lead stand up and suffered its first loss of 2022 in walk-off fashion, 5-3 to Reading.
- Star of the Game: Elijah Dunham – 1-for-3, 1 home run (1), 3 RBI, 1 run scored. Dunham put the Patriots up 2-0 quickly in the first inning, and is off to a fast start with a .385 average through the year’s first weekend
- Anthony Volpe: 0-for-2, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 1 strikeout
- Brandon Lockridge: 2-for-4, 1 double, 1 run scored, 1 strikeout
- Randy Vasquez: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K, 51 pitches (28 strikes). Vasquez, looking to build on a breakout 2021, was rock-solid in just his fifth Double-A start
- Matt Minnick: 3 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 38 pitches (28 strikes)
- Derek Craft: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 32 pitches (22 strikes). Craft was tagged with the loss after giving up the game-tying home run in the eighth and the walk-off, two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth


Hudson Valley Renegades (2-1): The Renegades banged out 11 hits to take the series finale in style over Greenville, 9-4.
- Star of the Game: Cooper Bowman – 1-for-5, 1 home run (1), 2 RBI, 1 run scored. Bowman, the 2021 fourth-round pick out of Louisville, hit his first High-A home run after spending last season in the FCL and Low-A

- Will Warren: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 66 pitches (38 strikes). Warren skipped right up to High-A for his professional debut after coming to the Yankees as an eighth-round draft pick last year
- Michael Giacone: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 40 pitches (26 strikes). Giacone picked up a well-deserved win for a solid effort in relief
- Carson Coleman: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 38 pitches (23 strikes)
- Nelvin Correa: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 11 pitches (6 strikes)


Tampa Tarpons (2-1): Anthony Seigler put the Tarpons on his back and carried them to a 9-5 win at Lakeland.
- Star of the Game: Anthony Seigler – 2-for-2, 1 home run (1), 1 double, 3 RBI, 2 runs scored, 3 walks. The 2018 first-round draft selection had a very rough 2021 season, but seems determined to put last year behind him as he teed off in the third inning for a three-run home run
- Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-5, 1 double, 1 run scored, 2 strikeouts
- Benjamin Cowles: 2-for-5, 1 double, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, 2 strikeouts

- Chandler Champlain: 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 51 pitches (41 strikes). Champlain, a ninth-round selection last year, had a very strong professional debut
- Enrique Santana: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 3 K, 30 pitches (22 strikes)
- Harold Cortijo: 3 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 39 pitches (27 strikes). Despite surrendering a pair of runs, Cortijo was on the right side of the decision
- Zach Messinger: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 22 pitches (13 strikes)
