Rangers affiliates had a pair of 1-0 wins where they held their opponent to three hits. One was by Down East, who had Emiliano Teodo go five innings, striking out six and walking two, and Jose Corniell go four innings, allowing just an HBP while striking out five.
The lone Wood Duck hit came on a Daniel Mateo home run. Alejandro Osuna walked twice and, weirdly, was caught stealing twice.
Ricky Vanasco started for Hickory and went 3.1 scoreless innings, striking out four while walking three. Marc Church allowed two runs on a pair of solo home runs in two innings, striking out two.
