Dunedin Blue Jays 0, Charlotte Stone Crabs 2
The Jays were blanked by Charlotte on Wednesday. Jeremy Gabryszwski was very strong, allowing just one run on seven hits over six innings, striking out four and not walking anyone while Brad Allen allowed an unearned run over two innings. L.B. Dantzler had two of the club’s four hits in the loss.

Player of the Game: Gabryszwski

Lansing Lugnuts 6, Lake County Captains 7
The Lugnuts lost in 10 innings to Lake County after some very solid bullpen work from Dusty Isaacs and Mark Biggs. Biggs took the loss, going out for his third inning of relief, giving up the last run of the game. Chase Mallard allowed six runs over four innings (including two home runs) before Isaacs held the Captains to just one hit and one walk over three innings with six strikeouts.

D.J. Davis was 3/5 with a home run and two runs scored while Boomer Collins and Austin Davis had two hits each. Juan Kelly was 0/3 but walked twice and drove in a run.

Vancouver Canadians 5, Boise Hawks 4
In another extra-inning game for the Blue Jays’ affiliates, the Canadians came out on top of this one, beating Boise 5-4 in 12 innings. Jon Wandling allowed three runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings while Michael Kraft went 1 1/3 scoreless. Sean Ratcliffe surrendered a run on three hits in 2 2/3 innings while Bob Wheatley picked up the win, going 2 2/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen and Northwest League All-Star Andrew Case finished off the game with a scoreless 12th, picking up a save in the process.

Justin Atkinson led the offense, going 3/5 with a double while another All-Star, Sean Hurley, was 2/6 with a double and three RBI.
