August 8th Blue Jays Minor Leagues Recap: Horwitz hits two home runs. Turconi extends on-base streak.

Buffalo- The Herd 10 to 9 to the Red Sox. Paxton Schultz struggled, allowing 6 runs over 1.2IP. Paul Fry also struggled, allowing 3 runs on 3 walks and a hit in the 6th inning. At the plate, Spencer Horwitz went deep twice, driving in 4 runs. Orelvis Martinez and Addison Barger both had 3-hit games. Barger finished with 3 singles but two of those singles were smoked to the right field walk and could’ve easily been doubles if they weren’t hit so hard.

New Hampshire-  Postponed

In the 6th, Josh Kasevich gave the C’s the lead with an RBI single, 4-3. The Dust Devils rallied for 3 runs in the 7th, 6-4. Williams singled home Cade Doughty in 8th, 6-5.
