Omaha Storm Chasers 6 Rock Rock Express 4
The Chasers bookended home runs by Cody Decker and Jorge Bonifacio to rally for five runs in the fifth inning to improve to 4-3 this season. Starter John Lannan was the beneficiary of the rally to earn his first victory of the season. The two home runs bumped Omaha’s total to 10 on the year in seven games, which is best in the PCL thus far. Most of the Express offense was provided by Joey Gallo who hit a solo home run in the 6th and a two run shot in the 8th.

Carolina Mudcats 3 Wilmington Blue Rocks 1
Wilmington continued their woeful offensive ways Wednesday in dropping to 1-5 on the season. The lone bright spot to start the year is first baseman Ryan O’Hearn. He’s gotten off to an extremely hot start that included a 3 for 3 day with a double and a hit by pitch to bump his average to .478 after six games. The one negative that O’Hearn had on the day was a ball that was scored a hit with the bases loaded in the sixth that deflected off runner Robert Pehl, resulting in an out and extinguishing the Rocks best chance at rallying. Reliever Josh Staumont performed capably, going 4 innings with five strikeouts on just four hits and one walk allowed.
Ryan O’Hearn 3-3 BB, 2b hitting .478/.500/.609
Alfredo Escalera 2-4 2b

Augusta GreenJackets 6 Lexington Legends 4
The Legends offense was kept mostly quiet by the Giants #19 prospect (according to Baseball America), Michael Santos. The lanky right-handed starter worked six innings with little problems thanks to six strikeouts and no walks allowed. The Legends outfielder Anderson Miller threatened Santos a couple times but a baserunning mistake in the 4th inning extinguished one rally. While Santos was working smoothly, the GreenJackets scored two runs off starter Foster Griffin with a rally in the first inning and another in the sixth. The lefthander worked quickly while leaning on his curveball to earn three strikeouts and get eight groundouts of the Augusta bats. Despite decent pitching, Griffin would take the quality start loss when reliever Franco Terrero had a tough go of things, allowing four runs in the final three innings. A Lexington rally in the ninth would fall a couple runs short to drop their record to 5-2 on the young season.
Anderson Miller 3-4 2-2b, R
