Binghamton 6, Connecticut 10

A costly two out error in the 9th by Ruben Tejada opened the floodgates against Roy Merritt, who proceeded to give up an RBI single, HBP, then a grand slam to his next 3 batters, blowing the save for Tobi Stoner, who'd given up 4 runs on 6 hits over 8 innings, and left with a 5-4 lead.

The Mets offense did their job, with 12 hits and 3 walks, while going just 3 for 12 with RISP, and leaving 7 on base. Carl Loadenthal (0 for 3, run, 2 BBs, K, .237) and Lucas Duda (0 for 4, run, BB, .286) took 0-fers, while Nick Evans, Josh Thole and DJ Wabick had multi hit games.

Savannah 5, Augusta 7

Chris Schwinden was pounded for 8 hits and 7 runs (3 earned) in 4 innings to take his 3rd loss of the season, as the Gnats committed 3 errors (two by Jefry Marte, 24 for him), and one by Wilmer Flores (7th for him). After Schwinden, Gnat pitchers decided to not allow a hit, firing 4 perfect innings in relief.

The offense had just 5 hits, but augmented that with 6 walks, but were just 3 for 13 (.231) with RISP, and left 6 on base. Matt Gaski had the only multi hit game for the Gnats, while Jefry Marte, Sean Ratliff (0 for 4, K, .309), Ralph Henriquez (0 for 3, BB, .364), Raul Reyes (0 for 2, 2 BBs, K, .282) and Luis Alen (0 for 3, run, BB, .143) all took 0-fers.
