Rain limited Sox affiliates to just 23 innings of baseball Wednesday. The Knights barely got a five inning game in, while the Ballers were washed out completely. Still, all three teams that played walked away with wins.
Sam Antonacci and Ryan Galanie kept the Barons win-streak going with big days at the plate, Tim Elko homered as Bryse Wilson fired a shutout for the Knights, and the Dash came back from a 4-1 defecit in the final inning.
All this and more in today’s minor league recap!
Triple-A Charlotte Knights (52-57)
The Knights waltzed over the Syracuse Mets 6-0 in an abbreviated affair. Tim Elko and Dru Baker each went deep to provide Bryse Wilson more than enough run support.
