*OKC gets a solo homer from Domingo Santana for a 1-0 win over Colorado Springs in a game with six total hits that finished in under two hours.
*Luis Cruz lasted just 0.1IP as San Antonio beats Corpus, 7-4.

Oklahoma City (22-18)

Leather: Jake Buchanan threw 7.2IP, allowing 2H/0ER, 4K:2BB, and recording 14 groundball outs. Jason Stoffel allowed a hit in 0.1IP and Josh Fields struck out the side in the 9th to record his first save for the RedHawks.

Wood: The RedHawks only got three hits themselves, including Domingo Santana's blast (and a walk for Santana). Adron Chambers and Enrique Hernandez had your other hits.

Man of the Match: Jake Buchanan.

Man of the Match: Rene Garcia

Lancaster (23-16)

Lancaster scored a run in the bottom of the 2nd, which would be all they needed as Josh Hader, J.D. Osborne, and Daniel Minor held Bakersfield hitless.

Leather: Hader threw 6IP, striking out six and walking four; Osborne threw 2IP, striking out one and walking one; and Daniel Minor struck out two in 1IP.

Wood: Jordan Scott had the RBI that scored Danry Vasquez for the lone JetHawks run; Dan Gulbransen had a double and a walk. Rio Ruiz added a single.

Man of the Match: Gotta go with Hader, Osborne, and Minor.

Quad Cities (18-19)

Wisconsin jumped out to a 6-0 lead by the time Quad Cities got on the board. The RiverBandits cut it to 6-4, but Wisconsin answered with two in the 6th and two more in the 8th.
