Toledo Mud Hens 2, St. Paul Saints 1 boxAfter three straight losses to St. Paul, a series loss for Toledo felt all but so fast, my Mud Hens put together a threegame streak of their own to split the series, ending with Sunday 21 walkoff victory. Trei Cruz and Kevin Newman hit backtoback RBI singles to cap off a ninthinning Dobnak was shaky at first, but he finished his fiveinning start strong. Both of the base hits Dobnak gave up came in the first two frames, and two of the three walks Dobnak allowed came in the third. He ended his outing with eight consecutive are still sporadic moments where control escapes him entirely, but Dobnak is mostly effective around those spurts. Some more command will lead to a lower pitch count and longer offense didn do much to help Dobnak early on, either. The bottom of the order threatened in the third Grayson Greiner Jersey, with Newman and Gage Workman hitting consecutive singles and no outs. Parker Meadows struck out looking, and HaoYu Lee grounded into a 53 double play. Malloy doubled to open the fourth, and Cruz led off the fifth with a single. Both were left stranded without Balazovic took over for Dobnak in the sixth. He worked around a twoout walk but wasn as lucky in the seventh. Jonah Bride broke the 00 tie with an RBI single up the middle, scoring Carson McCusker leadoff single. That really the only mistake of the day from Toledo staff, Heuer and Tyler Mattison held 10 score through the following two frames, setting up the walkoff. Jace Jung and Akil Baddoo scored the deciding Mud Hens were 0for10 with runners in scoring position before those last two hits to win the game. Meadows played center field for the second straight night, and seems bound to return this week, quite possibily for the Mets series starting on Monday : 24, 1 RBIJung: 13, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 KNewman: 24, 1 RBIDobnak: 5.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K; 97 pitches 59 strikesErie SeaWolves 4, New Hampshire Fisher Cats 2 boxErie completed the 6game series sweep with a 42 win over New Hampshire on the Mud Hens, the SeaWolves scored first, plating a pair of runs on a Kevin McGonigle 2run home run. John Peck reached on a single in the atbat before. The Fisher Cats got a run back in the bottom half of the inning after making the most of a oneout Ward blooped one behind second base, but McGonigle lost it in the sun. The ball trickled off his back, and the runner scored before Ward was caught looking to stretch out a double. It wasn the ideal way to start for Jaden Hamm, but he worked through the fourth without much Hornrung caught him for a gametying solo shot in the third, but this was still Hamm best outing since returning from the injury didn reach base again until Roberto Campos doubled in the top of the fifth with two outs. Danny Seretti couldn get Campos across, but the SeaWolves didn waste their next shot in the Clark was robbed of extra bases maybe a homer to open the outlasted an eightpitch atbat for a twoout walk. Josue Briceno broke the 22 tie with a bloop Bigbie hit a legit double to extend the Bergner relieved Hamm in the fifth and carried Erie for the rest of the game. He dealt with five baserunners three hits, two walks, but everyone else was swinging and missing. Five of his eight strikeouts came in a row, but Bergner couldn make it through the Michael got the fourout save despite loading the bases in the : 13, HR 9, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 BBClark: 04Briceno: 14, 2B 5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 KHamm: 4.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K; 58 pitches 34 strikesWest Michigan Whitecaps 7, Great Lakes Loons 2 boxWest Michigan defeated Great Lakes, 72, on Sunday to split the series Kerry Carpenter Jersey, also securing the Midwest League Eastern Division Championship for a second time this season Clark, McGonigle and Briceno led the first half the fourth time the Whitecaps have won the division in both halves of the season and the first time since 2017. Congratulations to manager Tony Cappucilli and everyone at the Whitecaps. They are 8738, barely missing a step since the top prospects moved up in midJuly. They have six games left with a good chance to top 90 Lockhart struck out five over five shutout innings in his third rehab start for West Michigan. He spent two weeks in Lakeland before that, but his next stop should be Toledo. Lockhart hasn given up a run over 18 innings this month and now has enough stamina to earn a Michigan offense gave him a sevenrun lead before turning things over to Dylan Smith for a scoreless sixth. Patrick Lee brought in Garrett Pennington with a twoout single down the left field line in the second. Izaac Pacheco doubled off the right field wall for two more runs in the Jenkins followed up with an RBI single, bringing the score to Callahan launched a solo homer to kick off a second consecutive threerun inning. Archer Brookman singled in a run, and Jack Penney made it 70 with an RBI Hebbert couldn keep the shutout going in the seventh. Elijah Hainline hit a tworun home run off him, but that was the last hit of the day for Great Lakes.
