AAA  Sacramento River Cats were idle.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels edged out the Portland Seawolves 2-1:

Matt Lipka RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .240.
Jerry Sands 1B- 2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .234.
Jeff Arnold C- 2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA=.225.
Garrett Williams LHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 8 K's, 3 HBP.  ERA= 5.33.
Patrick Ruotolo RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.75.
Caleb Simpson RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 1.19.

Both Squirrels runs came in the bottom of the 9'th inning.  Still some wildness here, especially when you factor in the HBP's, but this was Garrett Williams' 2'nd QS in a row which has to be encouraging. He has allowed just 4 hits in 12 IP in those two starts. Patrick Ruotolo continues to dominate out of the bullpen at the AA level.
