Complete scoreboard

Beloit 7 @ Wisconsin 5: The Beloit Snappers responded from a lengthy rain delay with a six-run outburst on their way to a Midwest League victory over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Monday at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute.

Fort Wayne 4 @ South Bend 1: A year ago, Major League Baseball's draft day was one of the most exciting days in the lives of many of the South Bend Silver Hawks. But when draft day rolls around today, there could be a sense of dread among some of the Silver Hawks.

West Michigan @ Lansing: PPD

@Kane County 5, Peoria 4: The victory, combined with Cedar Rapids' loss, has the Cougars in first place by two games in Western Division playoff race with 13 games remaining in the first half.

Burlington 2 @ Cedar Rapids 1: Before the game, Kernels Manager Bill Mosiello was asked what he would do if Correa had a perfect game going late and had a high pitch count. He simply laughed. “I’ll tell you what,” he said. “I’ll give you a million dollars if we throw a perfect game. But if we don’t, you give me a thousand dollars.”

Clinton 16 @ Quad Cities 2: "When I played for Detroit, Gates Brown was the hitting coach there and he used to say, ‘It's a poor man who can't take an ass-beating, because in this game you'll take a few,'" Dillard said. "We took one. It's over and now, we move on to the next day."
