Binghamton 4, Connecticut 7

Savannah 3, Charleston 5

Elvin Ramirez had a flat out awful outing today, surrendering 5 runs (2 earned) on 4 hits, but the real egregious stat is the 7 walks in just 3.2 innings, to take his 4th loss of the season. In the loss, the Gnats committed 4 errors: Wilmer Flores (6, fielding), Ralph Henriquez (1, throw), Jefry Marte (22, throw), Rafael Fernandez (4, fielding).

Offensively, the Gnats had 12 hits and drew 4 walks, and were 3 for 8 with RISP, but left 9 men on and grounded into 2 double plays. Fernandez and Marte combined to go 6 for 10 out of the top 2 spots in the order, and Ralph Henriquez also had a 3 hit game for the Gnats, while Josh Satin (0 for 2, 2 BBs, K, .312), Wilmer Flores and Daniel Stegall (0 for 4, K, .129) took 0-fers.
