A+ Modesto Nuts crushed the San Jose Giants 7-0:

Jalen Miller 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .276.
John Russell RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Low A  Columbia Fireflies blanked the Augusta Greenjackets 1-0:

Caleb Baragar LHP- 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 4.03.

Nice Giants organizational debut fo Juan De Paula, likely the real prize from the Andrew McCutchen trade.  Both teams mustered just 2 hits but one of the Fireflies hits was a solo dinger, the difference in the game.
