Pinstriped Performances: The Silencers

Only Hudson Valley and Tampa took the field Wednesday night, and both teams witnessed sterling efforts from their hurlers.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (18-30): Scranton’s matchup with Lehigh Valley was rained out. The teams will play a doubleheader on Friday.

Somerset Patriots (29-16): Somerset and Binghamton will make up their rained-out game in a twin bill tomorrow.

Hudson Valley Renegades (21-25): Matt Sauer and a barrage of early offense led the ‘Gades to a dominant 7-0 win in Aberdeen.

• Star of the Game: Matt Sauer – 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K, 88 pitches (56 strikes). After a somewhat rough start to the year, Sauer has given up just two earned runs and struck out 19 over his last three starts
• Cooper Bowman: 1-for-4, 1 double, 2 RBI, 1 run scored, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts
• Trey Sweeney: 3-for-5, 1 home run (5), 2 RBI, 1 run scored. Sweeney started June out on the right note following a quiet May
• Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, 1 home run (2), 1 RBI, 1 run scored, 2 strikeouts. Power has been the one element missing from Pereira’s game this year, so this is a good sign
• Anthony Seigler: 3-for-5, 1 run scored
• Tanner Myatt: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 0 K, 27 pitches (12 strikes)
