The 3.1 scoreless innings delivered by the Drillers’ bullpen didn’t particularly matter, as more than enough damage to lose the game had been conceded by starter Patrick Copen, who took his first loss of the year, allowing nine earned runs to come across, a season-high for him. Despite five different Drillers securing multihit performances, the offense wouldn’t get on the board until the sixth inning. Elijah Hainline’s and Joe Vetrano’s home runs weren’t enough to make this a game, as the Drillers fell 9-5 on the road.
Despite the nine-run inning the Loons conceded in the first game of this doubleheader, they led that one 13-12 heading into the final frame, but Reynaldo Yean couldn’t shut the door on Lake County—the one hit he allowed was a three-run shot to Jeffrey Mercedes that won the game for the home club. With that, the Loons wasted a marvelous performance from Sirota, who went three for three with a pair of walks, reaching base in all of his five plate appearances. The second game was quiet in comparison as Logan Tabeling shut down Lake County with nine strikeouts in 5.1 innings as the Loons returned the favor, doing it so wth an unlikely source of power. Ninth-hole hitter Jose Izazza had the biggest knock of the game, hitting a three-run shot to cement a 7-2 win for the visiting club. Sirota didn’t record any hits on that one, but reached safely twice on a pair of walks.
There was little to no offense to show for it as the Tower Buzzers lost 2-1 to the Quakes on the road. The two teams combined for just six hits and three runs. Ching-Hsien Ko, who had been one of the better hitters for the Tower Buzzers as of late, went 0 for 4 with three punchouts. In a game with so little offense happening on both sides, it’s fitting that the winning run would come from a throwing error by second baseman Mairoshendrick Martinus. Striking out a combined 13 times as a team, the Tower Buzzers delivered one of their worst offensive showings of the year.
Outfielders Landyn Vidourek and Brendan Tunink were sent by the Ontario Tower Buzzers to the ACL Dodgers for rehab assignments.
