Charlotte 4, St. Lucie 1
Matt Fields homered for a second straight night, hitting a two-run blast in the fourth for the Stone Crabs. Darin Downs, who allowed a first-inning run, worked five innings with five hits, no walks and eight strikeouts.

West Virginia 5, Bowling Green 3
Leadoff man Tony Scelfo was 3-for-5 with an RBI and run scored and Henry Wrigley reached base three times and swiped a base for the Hot Rods. Tyree Hayes surrendered four runs on seven hits in two-plus innings for the loss.
