Minor League Doubleheaders Yield Mixed Results and a Rainout

Worcester defeated Lehigh Valley 10-4, with Drake Fellows giving up six runs over 5 2/3 innings; Tommy Pham's lone homer was insufficient to overcome the pitching deficit. Reading secured a doubleheader sweep of Richmond, highlighted by Luke Russo's 5 1/3-inning spell that limited the opposition to four runs in game one, and Andy Seminaris's six-inning performance allowing only three runs in game two, complemented by multiple hits from Caleb Ricketts, Bryan Rincon, and Aroon Escobar, who also homered.

Frederick edged Jersey Shore 9-7, as Robert Phelps and Mark Kolozsvary each launched home runs, but a BlueClaws bullpen that issued nine walks and surrendered six runs in five innings proved costly. Cody Bowker started for the Keys but could not hold the lead. Meanwhile, inclement weather forced the cancellation of the Clearwater versus Tampa matchup.
