65
Wednesday was a tough day down on the farm, with only the Dash walking away winners.
Through the day’s five games, Hagen Smith punched out seven in a rain-suspended affair, three Ballers teed off against the Augusta GreenJackets, and Jack Young closed out a Dash win with his first save of the season.
All this and more in today’s minor league recap!
Triple-A Charlotte Knights (27-25)
The Knights saw their contest against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp suspended due to rain in the bottom of the fifth. Despite the rain, Hagen Smith still looked sharp, punching out seven while allowing two runs and walking just one over five frames. The game is set to resume Thursday at 4:30 ET.
