In Lakewood, Brock Stassi (.239) had 3 hits and a walk, knocked in a run and scored 2 more to lead the BlueClaws to an 8-5 win over Kannapolis. Gabriel Lino belted a double and his first BlueClaw home run, as 6 different Claws drove in runs in a very good team batting effort. Moises Rivas started and pitched well once he got himself out of the 1st inning, where he allowed 3 runs. He did not complete 5 innings, however, and the victory went to Luis Paulino (5-2) out of the pen. Bill Rice (.327) had 3 more hits for the Intimidators. With each of the teams in front of them also winning, the standings did not change and the Claws remain 1 game out of first place, in a 4-team race with 21 games left.

Albert Cartwright (.254), Zack Collier (.275), Anthony Hewitt (.247) and Edgar Duran (.258) all had 2 hit, with Duran and Harold Martinez going deep. Perci Garner (5-8) was the winning pitcher, with Colton Murray (3rd hold) and Mike Nesseth (6th save) throwing scoreless relief.

Darin Ruf (.309) hit his 24th home run, and his 6th in the last 9 games, and D'Arby Myers (.281) had a hit and a walk, and is 10 for 28 (a .357 clip) with hits in 7 of the last 8 games played. Brody Colvin struggled with his control, walking 7 and allowing 8 runs on 4 hits in just 2.2 innings. The Phillies (63-56) now trail New Britain by 1.5 games for the last playoff spot.
In Allentown, the IronPigs were held to just 3 hit, 1 a double by pinch hitter Steve Susdorf (.284) in a 6-0 white washing by Syracuse.

Lehigh Valley (65-57) now trails Pawtucket by 1.5 games in the race for the wild card.
