Box Score Recap

Here is the bare bones box score recap.

Lehigh Valley won, Jose Taveras threw six, one-hit, shutout innings. Herlis Rodriguez homered.

Reading was shut out on 4 singles, Damek Tomscha had two of them.

I watched Clearwater flounder to an extra inning loss and miss another opportunity to make up ground in the playoff race.

Lakewood was held to one hit.  They lost by a touchdown.

Williamsport rallied for five runs in the top of the ninth and secured a victory.  HRs by Nick Maton and Yahir Gurrola accounted for all five runs. .

And, I watched the GCL Phillies expand their lead with a drubbing of the Blue Jays.

Here’s the affiliate scoreboard from MiLB.
