The system went
Buffalo- The Herd walked the IronPigs off the field when Kevin Smith drove in Breyvic Valera with his 13th double. Smith, who homered last game, also had a solo HR in the game and Valera picked up three hits. Jacob Waguespack threw 3 scoreless innings while Nick Allgeyer and Joel Payamps struggled, giving up 2 runs during their outings.
New Hampshire- the Fisher Cats were held to 2 runs on 7 hits, surrendering 5 runs on 3 hits. Simeon Woods Richardson had another shaky start, walking 5 but did strike out 9 batters in 4.2IP.
Vancouver- The C’s scored 4 runs on 10 hits while allowing 7 runs on 6 hits. Three C’s had multi-hit games with Ronny Brito driving in all of Vancouver’s runs. Brian Rapp and Willy Gaston struggled in their outing, allowing 4 runs and 2 runs respectively.
Dunedin- Clearwater scored 3 runs on 8 hits, holding the D-Jays off the board until the 8th inning. Dunedin managed just 1 run off 5 hits. Juan De Paula (my favorite whipping boy) had himself another solid outing with 3 scoreless innings in relief.

In the 5th, following a Philip Clarke lead off single, Brito jumped on the first pitch of the at-bat and sent it over hte wall in LF for his 5th HR.
Brito was at it again in the 7th, following another Philip Clarke single to lead off the frame, Brito showed some patience and jumped on the 2nd pitch of the at-bat for his 6th home run. Brito popped up in the 9th.
The 22-yr-old owns a .161BA with 6 doubles, and 6 HR in 34 games as a member of the Vancouver Canadians. He’s scored 16 runs while driving in 17. Ronny had way too much swing and miss in his game with 11 walks and 61 strike outs.
