Lindsay Kramer - PawSox 5, Chiefs 3
Pawtucket scratched out a pair of runs with two outs in the top of the ninth to break a 3-3 tie. Dusty Brown and Sean Danielson singled to get the rally started, and Jonathan Van Every looped a soft single to right for the eventual game-winner. Jon Switzer (4-1) got the win while Hunter Jones earned his fifth save.
“It was huge,” Danielson said of the rally. “In that situation, you don’t need a big home run to win the game. We put together three quality at-bats at the end, and fortunately it put it over the top.”

Pawtucket starter David Pauley showed much more typical form in his return to the site of one of his few bad outings this season. On May 3, he gave up nine hits and seven runs in four innings of an 8-5 loss to Syracuse. Last night, he allowed four hits and two runs in seven innings.

Chaz Scoggins - The Spinners remain sound on the mound
Right-hander Seth Garrison extricated reliever Charle Rosario from a minor predicament in the eighth inning last night, then pitched out of one himself by inducing a game-ending double-play ball to register his second save of the young season as the Spinners whitewashed the Oneonta Tigers 3-0 in front of the usual SRO crowd of 5,030 at LeLacheur Park.
Although the Spinners boast the second-ranked pitching staff in the New York-Penn League and lowered their staff ERA to 2.43 last night, it was their first shutout of the season.
After being no-hit on Monday night, the Spinners rebounded with seven hits last night, including Rafael Cabreja's first homer of the season.
Hunter Strickland (1-1) pitched the first five innings for the Spinners. Rosario retired the Tigers in order in the sixth and seventh but ran into trouble in the eighth when Mike Gosse led off with a double and Brandon Douglas walked.
Garrison took over and retired the next three hitters, aided by a nice play by shortstop Ryan Dent on a groundball up the middle to get an inning-ending force.
Dent has played 11 straight errorless games at shortstop since making errors in each of the first two games of the season.
