Oklahoma City (69-55), 2.0 up
The RedHawks dropped their fourth straight game (and are 1-5 on this eight-game road trip) in a 13-6 loss at Tucson. Asher Wojciechowski allowed 8H/7R (6ER), 4K:2BB, WP, HBP in 5IP; Rhiner Cruz gave up 2H/3ER, 0K:1BB; Wade LeBlanc threw 1.2IP, allowing one of Rhiner Cruz's runs in an odd 0H/0ER, 0K:0BB outing.

Corpus (30-21, 1GB) 72-49 overall
NW Arkansas scored the final eight runs of the game in a 10-1 beatdown of Corpus. NW Arkansas' Lane Adams had three homers and 7RBI, so that didn't help anything.

Man of the Match: Uhh. Erik Castro?
Lancaster (32-19, 5.5 up), 71-50 overall

Tri-City (32-22, 1.5 up)
Last night was the New York-Penn League All-Star Game, in which the ValleyCats played for the National League team to keep the leagues balanced at seven teams each (how's that for irony?). The American League won 4-3. The ValleyCats' Michael Feliz threw a perfect inning, striking out two; Chris Cotton allowed 1H/1ER, 1K:0BB in 1IP. Chan Moon was 1x2 with a run scored.
Greeneville (33-19), 3.5 up

Two good nights for the Astros affiliates...
Lancaster
Heading into Game 4 against High Desert, up 2-1, the JetHawks didn't get off to a great start, allowing three first inning runs. The JetHawks got one back in the bottom of the inning, but it was 3-1 High Desert going into the 4th. The teams traded runs, with the JetHawks scoring one in the bottom of the 5th and two in the bottom of the 6th inning to take a 5-4 lead. High Desert answered with two runs in the top of the 7th for a 6-5 lead. Then the 8th inning happened, and Lancaster scored four runs to provide the final margin - 9-6 - and clinch the South Division Championship.
Nick Tropeano allowed 9H/4R (3ER), 6K:1BB; Carlos Quevedo allowed 1H/2ER, 2K:2BB in 0.2IP (both runs allowed by Pat Urckfitz). Jorge De Leon got the win with 1.2IP, 0H/0ER, 1K:1BB.

Tri-City roared back (get it?) with two runs in the 2nd and 3rd for a 4-3 lead that held up until the 9th, when Hudson Valley tied it up at 4-4. The ValleyCats got three straight singles to lead off the bottom of the 10th and Preston Tucker hit a deep fly ball to right, scoring Ryan Dineen from 3rd, and putting them one win away from their 2nd NYPL title in three years.
Juri Perez allowed 3H/3ER, 4K:3BB; Vincent Velasquez allowed just 2H/1ER (the game-tying homer in the top of the 9th), 2K:1BB in 3.1IP of relief, and John Neely got the final five outs for the win.
