Double-A Tulsa

Jose De Leon started his final regular season game and saw a one-out error in the fifth lead to four unearned runs off the prospect. However, the Drillers posted five runs in the bottom of the fifth and then held on to beat the Naturals (Royals) 5-4.

The Drillers still have a slim chance at the playoffs as they play one more home game before beginning their last road three-game series against the Cardinals.

De Leon had allowed no runs in his first four innings of work but then with one out in the fifth, shortstop Brandon Trinkwon committed an error. A single put runners on first and third.

De Leon got the next batter to ground out which scored the runner on third. The next two batters, Lane Adams and Bubba Starling homered to give the Naturals a four run lead.

In the bottom of the fifth, Trinkwon singled and Yadir Drake walked. After one out, the Drillers would hit four consecutive doubles by Daniel Mayora, Jeremy Rathjen, Peter Lavin and Brandon Dixon scored five runs to take the lead.

Five Driller relievers held the Naturals scoreless for the remaining four innings.

Class-A

The Quakes had a 21-4 record against the Storm (Padres) and had already won their series before losing 5-1 at Lake Elsinore. The Storm took an early 2-0 lead and would never look back.

Alex Verdugo and Josmar Cordero each had two hits.

The Quakes return home to LoanMart Field for a four-game series against the 66ers (Angels) before they start their playoff series next weekend.

Low Class-A Great Lakes

The Loons and Lugnuts each scored four runs in the first inning. The Loons scored single runs in the third and sixth inning which was enough to beat the Lugnuts 6-5.

Colin Hering got the win and J.D. Underwood picked up the save.

Nick Dean, Justin Chigbogu, Brian Wolfe, and Mike Ahmed each had two hits.

The Loons play one more game against their first round playoff opponent and then the Loons will host the Whitecaps (Tigers) for a three-game series to end the regular season.

Gersel Pitre and Deion Ulmer each had three hits. Jordan Paroubeck and Scott De Jong had two hits apiece.
