Charleston: Gary Sanchez had a huge night, hitting a double, a home run, and driving in six as Charleston broke out of a mini-slump in a huge way in a 14-5 blowout over Savannah. The home run was Sanchez’ second of the season. He is hitting .333/.380/.483 (thanks to 12 doubles) and even has eight

Charleston: No Mason Williams? No Gary Sanchez? No problem for the boys in Charleston, who crushed West Virginia, 15-3, tonight. Williams’ replacement in the leadoff spot, Angelo Gumbs, had a huge night going 3-for-6 with two runs scored and four stolen bases. He now has 15 on the season. For Gumbs, it is his second

Charleston had the night off. ——————————————- Scranton: Dellin Betances completed dominated through eight innings tonight as Scranton edged out Columbus, 2-1. Betances allowed one run on two hits while walking one and striking out seven as his ERA dipped to 5.20 (36.1 IP, 30 H, 25 R, 21 ER, 4 H, 28 BB, 28 K).

Charleston: A wild game in Charleston tonight. Delmarva broke a 3-3 tied in the top of the 9th by putting up a four-spot, only to have the Riverdogs’ match it with a four-spot of their own (highlighted by a two-out, two-run single by Dante Bichette with the bases loaded). Kelvin DeLeon doubled in a pair

Scranton & Trenton were both off tonight. Charleston: Gary Sanchez had three hits, including a double, and two runs batted in as Charleston scored a run in the 9th to defeat Delmarva, 5-4. The double was his 11th of the season and he is now hitting .354 on the year. He has still yet to

Notes: Thomas Kahnle (right-handed reliever) and Kyle Higashioka (catcher) made their season debuts for Tampa tonight. Speedy outfielder Jose Toussen has been promoted to Trenton. Seems like it may be a temporary thing, as his performance certainly didn’t scream “Promote me!” He pinch ran and scored a run. From the “what may have been” file:

Charleston: Delmarva gave the Riverdogs a taste of their own medicine tonight. Down 4-1 entering the ninth, Delmarva put up three in the ninth and two more in the tenth to defeat Charleston, 6-4. Mason Williams went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a run batted in, and his 10th stolen base of the season.

Charleston: Another grind-it-out type of win for the Riverdogs’ tonight as they defeated Lakewood 5-1. Charleston scored those five runs on only five hits, only one of which was for extra bases. Mason Williams returned and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. I guess whatever the injury was, it wasn’t to his

Charleston: One of the things this team has shown is the ability to score runs even when they aren’t hitting for much power. Down 4-3 entering the bottom of the 10th inning, the Riverdogs promptly scored a pair of runs to overtake Lakewood, 5-4. Anderson Feliz, who won the game with an infield single, went
