From rockcats.com: New Britain starter Kyle Waldrop entered Saturday night’s game in search of his first Double-A win, but he will have to wait for another opportunity as the Rock Cats lost 8-5 to New Hampshire.
Waldrop (0-3) lasted just 4 2/3 innings, surrendering five runs on nine hits and struck out five. He allowed a run in each of the first three innings. David Smith’s RBI single put the Fisher Cats on the board 1-0 in the first. Ryan Klosterman added an RBI single to right field that scored Dustin Majewski for a 2-0 advantage.
Garrett Guzman led off the bottom of the second inning with a solo shot to right field. Felix Molina added an RBI double to right field that scored Matthew Allegra to tie the game, 2-2.
The tie game was short-lived, as Majewski doubled to center to knock in Chip Cannon (2-4, 3 R, 3 RBI) for a 3-2 New Hampshire lead. In the sixth, the Fisher Cats took advantage of mental mistakes by the Rock Cats. Klosterman reached first base on a fielding error by Molina. Relief pitcher Danny Powers then hit John Schneider with a pitch. Manuel Mayorson (3-for-6) bunted Klosterman to third and reached first as Schneider was thrown out at second for the first out of the inning. Powers then attempted a pick-off, but threw the ball away and allowed Klosterman to score for a 6-2 lead.
The Rock Cats’ Trevor Plouffe blasted a two-run homer over the left field wall in the seventh inning to close the gap to 6-4. Brock Peterson added a solo home run in to lead off the bottom of the eighth.

Fort Myers 2 at Jupiter 3
Record 22 - 32
W: C. Volstad (5-5, 4.97); L: J. Rainville (2-6, 3.05); SV: T. Doolittle (15)
HR: FTM: J. Portes (2).
From miraclebaseball.com: Former Fort Myers Miracle JR Taylor, signed earlier in the week by the Florida Marlins, hurt his former team by delivering a two-run single in the third inning that proved to be the difference as the Jupiter Hammerheads held on for a 3-2 victory over the Miracle. Saturday night took just two hours and five minutes to complete and marked the 23rd time this season the Miracle have played in a one-run game.
The three-run Jupiter third began with a one-out walk by Trent D’Antonio and a single to center from Agustin Septimo to put runners at first and second. Lorenzo Scott would quickly smack a RBI-double to center bringing in the first Hammerheads run. Taylor followed with his two-run single to right sending the Jupiter lead to 3-0.
The pair of Miracle runs on the night came in the sixth inning as Juan Portes belted his second home run of the season bringing the good guys to within one. The Miracle had several opportunities early to score first at Roger Dean Stadium on Saturday but couldn’t muster any offense together at the right time in the first five innings of play.
Miracle starter Jay Rainville took another tough loss on Saturday tossing seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five. Jupiter starter Chris Volstad went six frames allowing Portes’ two-run blast and five other hits to pick up his fifth win of the year. Michael Doolittle worked around a one-out single from Dwayne White in the ninth to pick up his Florida State League leading 15th save.
Game two of the series will take place Sunday afternoon with the Miracle set to face another MLB rehabber in RHP Josh Johnson from the Florida Marlins set to start for the Hammerheads. The Miracle will counter by sending RHP Yohan Pino (1-2, 1.57) to the mound at Roger Dean Stadium for a 1:05 p.m. start.

The Chiefs continued to do damage with the long ball in the second inning. Alfred Joseph hustled out a potential double play ball at first and Ryne Malone lined a single into left Jonathon Mota then connected on his second career home run, a three-run blast to left to push the Chiefs advantage to 5-1.
The home run derby continued in the Snappers half of the fourth inning when Danny Valencia hit the third homer of the game to left field to cut the Chiefs lead to 5-2.

The next batter Joe Benson hit a sacrifice fly to center to make it 6-4 and end the night for Renshaw. Chuckie Platt came on in relief to record the final out and strand the potential tying runs on base.
