Clearwater Threshers – Class A-Advanced

Clearwater could not do much to get their offense going on Friday night, falling to Daytona, 2-1, in a pitchers battle. J.P. Crawford did his best to try and spark the offense. The shortstop went 2-for-3 on the day with two walks, scoring the only Threshers run of the day. Andrew Pullin and andrew Knapp also had two hits on the night.

The Threshers did manage 10 hits on the day, but would not cash in on their opportunities. They left 11 men stranded on base and were just 1-for-7 with men in scoring position.

Victor Arano did his best to keep the Threshers in the game despite the lack of run support. He took the loss despite going seven innings and scattering six hits. He did give up both runs. His ERA now stands at 5.85.

The Threshers finish their series with Daytona Saturday night. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.

Lakewood BlueClaws – Class A

When Lakewood and Augusta showed up to the ballpark on Friday night, they expected to play a baseball game. Well, they pretty much played two full ones. In a marathon game that many (us) thought would never end, it didn't actually end. The game was called in the middle of the 17th inning due to fog. Seriously.

In the 16.5 innings the two teams did play, they were deadlocked at 2 since Lakewood scored a run to tie the game in the bottom of the 8th inning. They will finish the game on Saturday afternoon.

Carlos Tocci managed to get seven at bats in the unfinished game, collecting four hits. He is now batting .376 on the season. No other BlueClaw managed more than two hits. Herlis Rodriguez had a pair of hits in his seven at bats, but struck out three times.

Ranfi Casimiro got the start and gave up both runs for Lakewood. Since he excited after the sixth inning, the BlueClaws bullpen combined to throw 11 scoreless innings, giving up just five hits.
