The two DSL teams are in action, but the FCL Pirates are off. They played on Wednesday this week and that’s normally an off-day, so we won’t see them until Monday.

Carmen Mlodzinski went the rest of the way. He gave up the other three runs to take the loss, although he only allowed four hits and didn’t walk anybody. The Curve again managed just three hits. Jared Triolo had a double and a triple, and Liover Peguero had a single.

- The report is negative.
Game Recap:
Greensboro (43-56) nearly got no-hit in losing to Bowling Green, 6-0. Nick Garcia started and lasted only one inning, giving up four hits and two runs. He threw 28 pitches, so it’s not clear whether the pitch count is the reason he came out. Domingo Gonzalez followed with three shutout innings, but Matt Eckelman gave up three runs in the fifth inning. The Hoppers, meanwhile, didn’t get a hit until Yoyner Fajardo singled with one out in the eighth. Luke Brown singled in the ninth for the only other hit.
