On Tuesday, the Cannon Ballers were the only Sox affiliate that failed to win. Wednesday, Kannapolis was the sole victor on the minor league slate. Bats fell silent across the system, with all five teams that played combining for just five runs on the day.
Grant Umberger, Tommy Vail, and Mathias LaCombe turned in strong starts, George Wolkow homered for the second-straight night, and Colson Montgomery recorded a hit in his return.
All this and more in today’s minor league recap!
