Trenton Thunder 11 New Hampshire Fisher Cats 5

There was some thunder in Trenton’s bats Sunday afternoon. Specifically the bat of designated hitter Gary Sanchez. The young slugger went 1-for-2 with a grand slam in the fourth inning.

Jorge De La Cruz went 6 1/3 innings but gave up five runs (four earned), while striking out three and walking two.

Tampa Bay Yankees 5 Lakeland Flying Tigers 8

Charleston River Dogs 4 Augusta Green Jackets 1

Brady Lail gave the ‘Dogs a solid outing, pitching six innings and giving up just one run, while fanning five. 19-year-old Miguel Andujar had a good day at the dish, going 3-for-4 and knocking in three.
