"Justin Slaten, a couple days removed from his opener in Portland, made another rehab start and struck out two, including Oswaldo Cabrera, while allowing a hit and walking a batter in his inning of work. He also retired Anthony Volpe, who finds himself in Triple-A due to, well, not being good for almost a calender year now. Slaten's fastball also touched 96, which is a very good sign."
"Scranton would score two runs each in the ninth and tenth innings. After leading the team through the eighth inning, Wyatt Olds would wear it a bit and wouldn't record an out in the tenth inning, giving the inning to Tommy Kahnle to close out. The WooSox, despite three home runs in the first five innings courtesy of Nate Eaton, Nathan Hickey and Mickey Gasper, couldn't manage any late fireworks."
"It's not great when 12 runs isn't enough to win a baseball game, much less when you get walked off like Greenville did on Wednesday. Kyson Witherspoon ran into some early issues but made it through four innings allowing just two hits but three runs. Greensboro powered eight runs in the seventh inning to come climbing back from a deficit that saw Greenville hit SEVEN home runs on the night."
Justin Slaten pitched effectively in his second rehab appearance, striking out two batters including Anthony Volpe while allowing one hit and one walk over one inning, with his fastball reaching 96 mph. The WooSox faced difficulties against Scranton's pitching staff, with Wyatt Olds struggling in the tenth inning before Tommy Kahnle took over. Despite three home runs from Nate Eaton, Nathan Hickey, and Mickey Gasper in the first five innings, the WooSox could not generate late-game offense and lost. The Sea Dogs and Fisher Cats are scheduled for a doubleheader, with Portland promoting a Jhostynxon Garcia bobblehead night. Greenville suffered a walkoff loss despite scoring 12 runs and hitting seven home runs, including two from catcher Ronny Hernandez, as Greensboro scored eight runs in the seventh inning.
