- Louisville won 6-1 on a strong outing by Sam LeCure. Sam had a great start, going 7 shutout innings, giving up 5 hits, and striking out 8 while walking nobody. Pedro Viola pitched a hitless 9th to bring his ERA down to a stellar 0.87. The Bats bats came alive, with Jonny Gomes belting his 6th home run of the season, and Danny Richar and Drew Sutton each hitting their first. Craig Tatum and Drew Stubbs also got in on the action, each having two hits. Up next: Homer Bailey takes on Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at 7:05.
- Chris Heisey continues to show the Carolina brass that he deserves a callup, although he couldn't overcome the BayBears by himself as the Mudcats dropped to Mobile, 7-4. Heisey's Lawn Service was 4-for-5 and a triple away from the cycle, and is now batting .378 on the season. He's hit in 7 straight, and has gotten on base in every game this season. Todd Frazier and Michael Griffin were both 2-for-4. Up next: Jordan Smith returns from the DL to take on Mobile at 7:15.
- Sarasota won 3-1 behind a dominant performance from Zach Stewart. Z-Stew pitched a complete game, giving up 1 run on 5 hits, striking out 6 while walking 1. Alex Buchholz led the way for the offense, going 2-for-3 with his second home run of the year, and Carson Kainer (who is tearing up Sarasota right now) added two hits to bring his average up to .305. Up next: Jeremy Horst looks to build off a great outing last time, first pitch at 7:05.

Dayton dropped a tough one in 14 innings, losing to Clinton 6-4. Matt Fairel had another great start, giving up 3 runs in 6, but striking out 10 for his second double-digit strikeout game of the season.
