In what came down to a battle of the bullpens, the Buffalo Bisons scored twice in the eighth inning to break a 3-3 tie and went on to complete the three-game sweep of the Indianapolis Indians at Victory Field Sunday afternoon.

 

Matt Dominguez led off the eighth by beating the shift as he slapped a single into right field through the vacated area at second. The third baseman then moved up 90 feet with his first stolen base of the season and came home on Andy Burns' double into the left-field corner. Next up was Melky Mesa and he promptly drove a base hit into center to cash in Burns.

 

Indianapolis took the initial lead in the game as Max Moroff blasted a two-run home run on the first pitch he saw from John Anderson to take the early first-inning lead.

 

The Bisons answered back with three of their own in the third. Tony Sanchez and Jio Mier each singled to start the inning. Darrell Ceciliani then belted a ball off of the wall in right-center field to score Sanchez. David Adams picked up an RBI on a groundout and two batters later, Dominguez looped a ball over second base to bring home Cecililani and put the Herd up 3-2.

 

Ceciliani finished the day with three hits and a walk to boost his average to .236.

 

After winning his first Triple-A game in his last start, Anderson laboured his way through five innings under the hot Indianapolis sun. The left-hander bent but didn't break in the 91-degree heat as he mixed in two walks and a strikeout around nine hits, leaving with the game tied at three.

 

Aaron Loup and Franklin Morales each threw an inning of scoreless relief before Ben Rowen ran into some trouble in the eighth.

 

The submariner came on having not allowed a run since May 8th, but gave up a double and a pair of walks to load the bases before getting the hook from manager Gary Allenson.

 

26-year-old Danny Barnes, in his second career appearance with the Herd, got speedster Gift Ngoepe to ground into the 6-4-3 double play to end the threat.

 

Barnes took the bump again in the ninth and induced a fly out and a ground out from the first two batters he faced. With power-hitter Josh Bell on deck, Max Moroff lined a ball that looked like a sure single into shallow center field. However, Melky Mesa came charging in and made a head-first diving catch, just as the ball was about to hit the ground, to end the game.

 

After exchanging high-fives with teammates, Barnes walked off the field with the ball in his hand and his first Triple-A save in the history books.

 

BISONS NOTES:

The Bisons made more roster moves on Sunday as Chad Jenkins was activated while Bo Schultz was recalled to the Blue Jays…Darrell Ceciliani is 5-for-12 as a leadoff batter this season…Ben Rowen's scoreless innings streak is now at 22.2 innings…The sweep is the Herd's first in Indianapolis since 2003. Buffalo is 50-48 across 20 years of play at Victory Field…The Bisons improve to 14-5 against the International League West in 2016.

MANCHESTER - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats struggled to locate their offense Sunday afternoon, falling 3-1 in the series finale against the Harrisburg Senators at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

 

The Fisher Cats (32-42) fell back to a season-worst 10 games below .500, only scoring in the ninth inning to break up the shutout. Tyler Mapes (W, 7-5) dealt a complete game for the Senators (41-33), who didn't give up a single earned run in the last 18 innings of the series. It was the first complete game thrown against New Hampshire since Akron hurler Will Roberts did it on June 11, 2015.

 

Harrisburg opened the scoring in the top of the second inning against Fisher Cats starting pitcher Taylor Cole (L, 0-1). Neftali Soto led off with a double to right, and Kevin Keyes and Stephen Perez each drew one-out walks to load the bases. Nick Rickles hit a slow bouncer to shortstop for an RBI groundout, scoring Soto to put Harrisburg up 1-0.

 

The Senators added another in the top of the third inning. With one out, Wilmer Difo singled and stole second, before Soto cracked another double to bring him home and extend Harrisburg's lead to 2-0. The Senators got an insurance run in the ninth inning, when Rafael Bautista doubled home Adrian Sanchez off reliever Tim Mayza for a 3-0 advantage. New Hampshire scored a run in the bottom of the ninth, as Jason Leblebijian reached on an error by Difo at shortstop, and came in on a one-out fielder's choice to make it 3-1. However, Wilkin Castillo bounced out to end the game.

 

Cole took the loss despite firing six strong innings, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while fanning five. Chris Smith allowed a hit and a walk over 1.1 innings and recorded three strikeouts. Tim Mayza gave up a run on two hits and a walk over 1.1 innings, and Wil Browning retired the only batter he faced.

 

The Fisher Cats will open up a three-game series against the Hartford Yard Goats Monday night, with right-hander Jeremy Gabryszwski starting for New Hampshire against Hartford righty Zach Jemiola. First pitch from Northeast Delta Dental Stadium is at 7:05 p.m., and Ben Gellman has the call starting at 6:45 p.m. on the Fisher Cats Radio Network.

 

Monday night is NHIAA 2015-16 High School State Champions Night! We'll be honoring 2015-16 NHIAA High School State Championship teams and athletes prior to the game, presented by Coca-Cola of Northern New England.

LANSING, Mich. - The first seven Lansing Lugnuts batters in the eighth inning all reached base and scored, keying a 12-9 victory and completing a four-game sweep of the West Michigan Whitecaps on a muggy Sunday afternoon at Cooley Law School Stadium.

 

The Lugnuts (4-0, 40-34) won their sixth straight game against the Whitecaps (0-4, 39-32), improving to 8-3 in the season series against their intrastate rival.

 

The Whitecaps twice built two-run leads, grabbing a 2-0 advantage in the third inning and a 7-5 edge in the eighth - and twice found themselves wiped out by a Lugnuts rally. In the bottom of the third inning, the Nuts tallied four runs against All-Star Kyle Dowdy, climaxed by a two-run triple by John La Prise.

 

In the eighth, Lansing didn't stop at four runs.

 

Reliever Adenson Verastegui (Loss, 0-3) faced five batters without recording an out, walking Jake Thomas and La Prise with the bases loaded to force in the game-tying runs. Drew Smith came on for Verastegui, only to be victimized by a Max Pentecost RBI single, a Juan Kelly two-run single, a Justin Atkinson sacrifice fly and a run-scoring wild pitch.

 

Starlyn Suriel (Win, 4-1) pitched 2 1/3 innings to receive credit for the victory despite allowing a two-run homer to Franklin Navarro.

 

The Whitecaps scored two runs in the ninth against Dusty Isaacs before a 5-3-6 double play ended the game.

 

Lansing outscored West Michigan by a combined 35-17 during the four games, with the Lugnuts' offense scalding Whitecaps pitching to the tune of a .377 average (52 hits in 138 at-bats).

 

Pentecost extended his on-base streak to 21 games by going 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored, and Connor Panas increased his own streak to 14 games with a 2-for-5 performance - including his sixth home run of the year, and his fourth homer in his last eight games.

 

In addition to Pentecost and Panas, second baseman La Prise, first baseman Kelly, third baseman Carl Wise and left fielder Austin Davis also supplied a pair of hits.

 

Center fielder Andrew Guillotte left the game early after getting hit by a pitch on the batting helmet. His replacement, Thomas, went 1-for-1 with a single, two walks and two runs scored.

 

Lugnuts starting pitcher Jon Harris pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and five runs (three earned), with a walk and three strikeouts.

 

The Lansing Lugnuts next depart for a seven-game road trip to Great Lakes and South Bend, the Lugnuts' first road games since June 12th. Left-hander Angel Perdomo (2-2, 2.45) starts the 7:05 p.m. Monday opener at the Loons' Dow Diamond in Midland, opposed by Great Lakes right-hander Dennis Santana (1-8, 3.12).

 

The Lugnuts return to Cooley Law School Stadium in time for Independence Day! Go Nuts for special 4th of July LAFCU Fireworks, following the 7:05 p.m. contest against the Dayton Dragons.

(Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium - Vancouver, B.C.) - A three-run, bottom of the 4th inning was enough for the Vancouver Canadians to pull away from the two-time, defending Northwest League Champions from Hillsboro as the C's won 5-1 on Sunday afternoon out at Scotiabank Field.

 

CF Lance Jones managed the two-run knocked out punch when his single back up the middle scored both 3B Mattingly Romanin (single) and 2B Deiferson Barreto (single). Hillsboro SS Manny Jefferson hit his 2nd home run of the second off of Canadians RHP Luis Sanchez in the top of the 2nd inning to record the only run of the afternoon for the Hops.

 

With the victory, Vancouver improves to 6-4 (.600) on the season, while Hillsboro falls to 3-7 (.300). The win also gives Vancouver's the series as the Canadians have now taken three of the first four meetings against the Hops with the final set for Monday, June 27th at 7:05pm. Canadians manager John Tamargo Jr. has scheduled RHP Justin Maese to get the start in the final game of this eight-game home stand.

Ummmm a couple season's. You have to expect the error's. If you're going to try him there you do it long term. No one cares about minor league errors. (if someone is learning a new position)
