Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (45-26)
SYRACUSE 8, ROCHESTER 6 (BOX)
Syracuse battled back from four different deficits in this back and forth affair. They trailed 1-0, 3-1, 5-4, and 6-5 before taking the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh. Brett Baty — who continues to hit Triple-A pitching every time he sees it, hit a two run home run in the seventh to give them their final lead of the game. He also played the entire game at second base, which is worth noting.
Dominic Hamel struggled a bit, giving up five runs in five innings, and walking more than he struck out (4/3), but the bullpen gave up just one run and four hits over the final four frames to secure the win.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (34-30)
BINGHAMTON 9, AKRON 5 (BOX)
Binghamton ran out to a four run lead in the top of the first, which set up the rest of the game for the Ponies. Rowdey Jordan got the scoring off with a double, and Kevin Parada followed suit with one of his own. Jaylen Palmer plated two with a single to cap off the frame.
Akron would battle back, making it 4-3 before Omar De Los Santos homered to make it 5-3 Binghamton. The RubberDucks would score another to make it 5-4, but a pair of two run homers by Jordan and Nolan McLean put the game out of reach.

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (33-33)
BROOKLYN 2, JERSEY SHORE 1 (BOX)
Brooklyn got to .500 on the season on the back of its pitching. Jonah Tong was excellent, spinning five scoreless innings and surrendering a single hit. The only Cyclones pitcher to surrender a run was Ben Simon, giving up one in his 0.2 innings of work. The combination of Jeffery Colon and Josh Hejka finished it off surrendering just one hit combined over the final 3.1 innings.
Offensively, both of their runs came on RBI doubles in the second inning — the first by Wilfredo Lara and the second by Christian Pregent.

Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (22-44)
FORT MYERS 6. ST, ST. LUCIE 5 / 10 (BOX)
The sole organizational loss came from St. Lucie, as they dropped a game in extras to For Myers. They led 2-0 by way of an A.J. Ewing home run in the second, but Fort Myers would take a 3-2 lead in the third. Ronald Hernandez drove in two with an RBI single in the bottom of the third, but Fort Myers would battle back again, quickly tying it in the fourth.
This would hold until extras, when the Mighty Mussels would walk twice with the bases loaded to take a 6-4 lead. Jesus Baez would get one back with a sac fly, but that second walk in the top of the 10th turned out to be the game winner.
