Shiell 4 IP, H, 3 K -- 4.70 ERA
A rough 1st cost Leo Nunez the win as Omaha couldn't provide the starter much run support and the Redbirds averted a sweep. Nunez gave up a double and single right off the bat in the 1st to score a run and 1B Tagg Bozied added a 2-run homer to make it 3-0. Manager Mike Jirschele was ejected in the middle of the 2nd before the Royals scored their run on a Mitch Maier RBI single. Nunez stranded 2 in the 3rd and Omaha loaded the bases with 1 out in the 5th only to see Angel Berroa hit into a double play to kill the threat. Omaha stranded 2 more in the 6th but put up a threat in the 9th with runners on second and third and no outs. Maier and Paul Phillips K'd and Richie Lewis grounded out to leave the tying run at second as RP Brian Falkenborg notched his 22nd save. Memphis 2B Jarrett Hoffpauir was 2-4 with his 11th RBI to move to .333 and SP Randy Keisler got the win with 7 IP of an ER on 7 hits, 3 BB and 4 Ks to improve to 8-7 with a 4.43 ERA.

A 5-run 3rd did the trick for Salem as Dan Cortes took another loss. Mario Lisson singled in a run in the 1st and Brian McFall did the same to give Wilmington a 2-0 lead. Jose Duarte singled home a run in the 2nd to make it 3-0 but Cortes hit big trouble in the 3rd. With 2 out and 1 run home on a bases-loaded HBP, Cortes served up a grand slam to 1B Mark Ori to make it 5-3. Another run scored on a Cortes wild pitch in the 4th to make it 6-3. After stranding 2 in the 4th, the Rocks left 2 in scoring position in the 5th but Kiel Thibault led off the 6th with his 4th homer to cut the lead to 2. The Rocks ran into several outs on the basepaths to kill a couple threats during the game. The last 7 Rocks went down in order as RP Ryan McKeller picked up his 4th save for Salem. Ori was 1-4 with his 6th homer and 4 RBI (39) to move to .265 and SP Brian Bogusevic got the win with 6 IP of 4 ER on 11 hits, 3 walks and 3 Ks to move to 9-6 with a 3.70 ERA.

Bees starter Jason Godin gave up 3 hits and a run in the 1st but then held the Whitecaps to 1 hit over the next 6 innings and got some run support for the win. Three hits and a walk scored a run off Godin in the 1st and he gave up a hit in the 2nd but retired 20 of 22 before handing the ball to Matt Campbell in the 8th. Brady Everett was thrown out at home to end a Bees rally in the 2nd but came back in the 4th to single home a run. Jesus Soto singled in a run and Everett scored on a West Michigan error to make it 3-1. The Bees left a runner at third in the 8th and Aaron Hartsock got the last out in the 9th for his 4th save.
