@ Fort Worth, TX. Time: 2:22 Attendance: 5,006

W: Dan Grybash (4-3) L: Ricky Stover (2-3) S: NONE

Fort Worth starting pitcher Dan Grybash retired the first 10 hitters he faced and never looked back, going eight shutout innings to pick up his fourth win of the season. The right-hander allowed just two hits and struck out six before handing the ball over to Brandon Newman who pitched a perfect ninth to wrap up the lopsided victory. Fort Worth broke the game open in the eighth inning, scoring seven runs and dashing any thoughts of a Coastal Bend comeback. Cats RF Carlos Adolfo was 3-for-4, including his sixth home run of the year, and drove in four. With the win, Fort Worth moves into a tie with Pensacola and Coastal Bend, who has now lost six straight, for the South Division lead.

@ St. Joseph, MO. Time: 2:33 Attendance: 777

W: Evan Thomas (3-5) L: A. Perez (0-1) S: J.C. Tricoglou (4)

HR: NONE

Blacksnakes' starting pitcher Evan Thomas shutout Sioux Falls through seven innings, allowing just four hits and striking out four to improve his record to 3-5 on the season. The St. Joe offense provided a run in the second and another in the sixth that proved just enough to outlast the Canaries, who could only muster a single run - in the eighth. St. Joe 2B Denver Kitch led the Blacksnakes at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with a run scored. Sioux Falls got two-hit games from two different players and out-hit St. Joe 8-6 in the game, but couldn't string them together at the right times. The win for St. Joe improves their record to 24-20 on the year. They are currently third in the North Division.
