Louisville Bats 7, Pawtucket Red Sox 4

Cody “Center for Kids Who Can’t” Reed “Good” got the start for Louisville and, while he kept runs off the board, he was pretty wild.

Barrett “A little place called” Astin came on in relief and was better, throwing 2 shutout innings and giving up only 1 walk and 1 hit with 3 strikeouts. Jesse Winker “Hardly even knew her” had a big night at the plate, going 4 for 5 with a double, a 2-run dinger, and 4 runs scored. Zach “Soft J” Vincej was 3 for 4 with 1 RBI, Peter “Maggie” O’Brien was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks, and Brandon Dixon and Sebastian “Lizard People” Elizalde were each 1 for 3 with 2 RBI.
