Brandon Laird's second run scoring double of the game broke a 3-3 tie in the 8th as the RedHawks (4-2) knocked off the Sounds 5-3. Jake Elmore and Trevor Crowe each added 2 hits and an rbi in support of Ross Seaton who turned in a solid effort in his first AAA start of the year. Jordan Lyles earned the win in relief and Kevin Chapman recorded the final out for his first save of the year.

AA - Corpus Christi 6 Tulsa 0

Bobby Doran and Nick Tropeano combined on a 6-hit shutout as the Hooks (5-1) defeated the Drillers 6-0. Jiovanni Mier was 3 for 3 with a homer and 2 runs batter in, and Domingo Santana doubled three times off opposing starter Dan Houston and drove in a pair as well. Austin Wates and George Springer were each 2 for 5 with a pair of runs scored.

Advanced A - Lancaster 13 Lake Elsinore 8

Zach Johnson had 5 hits and drove in 4 runs missing the cycle by a home run as the JetHawks (4-1) broke out their hitting sticks and defeated the Storm 13-8. Nolan Fontana added 4 rbis of his own, and Drew Muren, Matt Duffy and Andrew Aplin all scored 3 runs in the win. Alex Gillingham earned the win with 5 solid innings of work in which he allowed just 2 runs.

Low A - Burlington 6 Quad Cities 4

The River Bandits (5-1) saw their 5 game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Burlington Bees, dropping a tough one 6-4. Carlos Correa was 1 for 2 with 3 walks, and Jesse Wierzbicki had a pair of hits to lead the River Bandit offense, but on the whole Quad Cities failed to capitalize on their opportunities stranding 13 runners with going 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position. Lance McCullers (0-1) allowed the go ahead run in the 8th and was saddled with the loss.
