Worcester scored four runs in the first inning against the Red Wings, highlighted by Anthony Siegler’s three-run double and Allan Castro’s RBI single. Jacob Webb started for Worcester as a reliever, allowing three runs in 2 ⅔ innings, and Devin Sweet took the loss after giving up the go-ahead run in the fourth. Castro and Tsung-Che Cheng each had two hits, and Braiden Ward stole his 23rd base. Reading’s Sea Dogs defeated Portland with 20 strikeouts from their pitchers, led by Blake Wehunt’s five innings, 11 strikeouts, and 69 pitches. Patrick Halligan retired all six outs via strikeout, and Cooper Adams earned the save. The Sea Dogs scored one run in the third on a Nate Baez RBI groundout, with three hits from Marvin Alcantara. Other games were postponed by rain, and two doubleheaders were scheduled for Friday.
"The Woo Sox used up all of their firepower in the first inning on Thursday night against the Red Wings (WAS). Anthony Siegler's three-run double, and Allan Castro's RBI single gave Worcester a 4-0 lead after one, before Rochester got the final nine runs."
"Primarily a reliever, Jacob Webb got the start, allowing three runs in 2 ⅔ innings. The loss went to Devin Sweet, who gave up the go-ahead run in the fourth inning. Castro and Tsung-Che Cheng had two hits for the Woo Sox, with Braiden Ward picking up his 23rd stolen base of the season."
"Not sure in how much detail you may have looked at that box score, but yes that says 20 strikeouts in total underneath the Sea Dogs pitchers on Thursday. They were not playing a high school team, this was the double-A team from Reading (PHI), which has the same number of wins as Portland so far this season."
"Blake Wehunt got things going by throwing five innings and getting the win, while striking out 11 batters. He did so in a nice and tidy 69 pitches, which seems mathematically impossible. Patrick Halligan was in relief of Wehunt, with all six of his outs retired coming via the strikeout. Cooper Adams got the save, striking out three more in two innings."
