The big-league Phillies had a rough night of it on Friday. Things were a little better in the minors, as thanks to the AAA squad playing two games, the affiliates were able to compile a 3-2 record for the night.

Because play was suspended on Thursday, the IronPigs had a double header against the RailRiders on Friday. The suspended game didn’t get off to a good start with the Pigs falling behind 2-0, but they were able to rally back.
Felix Reyes had a game-tying single, while they took advantage of a RailRiders error to add to their lead. Later, Keaton Anthony hit a two-run home run to provide the Pigs with some insurance, and Nolan Hoffman threw two scoreless innings to earn the save.
The second game featured some feistiness. Reyes was hit by a pitch in the fifth. Seeing as it was the fourth hit batsman of the game, and eighth of the evening including the prior game, the Pigs had had enough. Both benches cleared, but nothing much came of it.

The Pigs got their revenge on the field. Anthony hit a two-run home run to take the lead, and in the seventh, a Carter Kieboom home run (after another batter was put on base via HBP) extended the advantage. Nolan Hoffman pitched two scoreless innings for the save.
Portland 13, Reading 12
The Fightin’ Phils lost a ten-inning slugfest to the Reading Sea Dogs. Raylin Heredia’s three run home run in the second helped establish a 5-2 lead for the F-Phils, but it would not last. Both teams regularly traded runs, but in the ninth, the F-Phils found themselves down by three with two outs. A double and a walk brought up Erick Brito who topped off his 4-4 night with a game-tying three run home run.
UN-BELIEVABLE.

Sadly, the Sea Dogs got another run home in the top of the tenth, and this time, Reading was unable to answer.
Clearwater 4, Lakeland 2
Unlike their AA counterparts, the Threshers received strong pitching to carry them to victory over the Flying Tigers. Starting pitcher Ramon Marquez gave up two runs while striking out six in five innings, and three relievers combined for four shutout innings.
Offensively, the heavy lifting was done by DH Jonathan Hogart, whose three-run home run in the fourth put the Threshers ahead for good.

Hudson Valley 11, Jersey Shore 3
The Blue Claws got off to an early 2-0 lead, but the pitching staff was unable to hold it or keep Hudson Valley off the board after that. All five Blue Claws pitchers gave up runs, with starter Ryan Dromboski getting tagged for four in 2.2 innings.
Offensively, the highlight was second baseman Nick Biddison hitting his first home run in the fifth.
