GONE STREAKIN': After DH JAKE NOLL launched a solo homer in the fourth inning last night, Rochester has now scored a run in 129 straight games dating back to 4/8-G2 in Syracuse...this marks the longest streak in the International League this season, 60 games ahead of second place (MEM, 69)...no International League team has scored a run in 100-straight games since at least 2005, and no Rochester team has done so since at least 1997....

78 players trail their 2022 total by three (81), which is a franchise record.
NOLL DOUBT: DH JAKE NOLL launched his sixth homer of the year last night and his 33rd as a Red Wing, the solo shot to center field traveled 421 feet...the Red Wing veteran finished the night 1-for-4 with a home run, a run batted in, and a run scored...he has now collected a hit in four consecutive games dating back to 9/6 in Syracuse, hitting .250 (4-for-16) since that date...
421 feet marks Noll's longest home run of the season.
The homer broke a streak of three straight games without a home run by Wings hitters since 9/8, tied for the longest streak of the season.
HE'S TOASTY: 1B FRANKIE TOSTADO went 2-for-3 Wednesday night, with a run scored, and a walk...the lefty has now collected six hits over his last three games since 9/10, with a pair of doubles and three walks.
BUILT (RUTHER)FORD TOUGH: RF BLAKE RUTHERFORD logged his first multi-hit game since 8/31 (vs. SWB) last night, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the contest...this was his 21st double of the season between Rochester (9) and Double-A Harrisburg (12), tied for sixth-most among Nationals minor leaguers.
