High Class A: Jupiter Hammerheads
W 3-1 @ Lakeland Flying Tigers
Ryan Fisher, 3B: 2-for-2, 2 BB
Noah Perio, 2B: 0-for-4
Jared Rogers, SP: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 SO
Jupiter's pitching easily dealt with Flying Tigers for the second consecutive night, allowing only six base-runners. Jared Rogers's start lowered his ERA to 2.49. The 25-year-old has allowed only one home run in 25 innings pitched this year.
After a strong start to the season, Noah Perio has struggled mightily the last ten games, batting .237. The 21-year-old second basemen has no extra base hits this year in 61 plate appearances. Once considered a decent infield prospect, Perio's stock has tumbled in the last year.

Daniel Oliver, SP: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 SO
While Kannapolis out-pitched Greensboro, allowing only four base-runners, their costly errors proved decisive. Cameron Flynn scored the winning run off an error by Intimidators second basemen Micah Johnson.
