The evening after Farm Fortnight opens by mentioning the White Sox's top four affiliates finished the first half with a cumulative winning record, all six minor league teams lost on Tuesday night.
The Winston-Salem Dash had the most painful evening of the bunch. They led Hub City 4-2 entering the bottom of the ninth, only to give up three runs without allowing a hit.
Garrett Wright entered in relief of Mathias LaCombe and threw his first nine pitches out of the zone. The Spartanburgers threw him a lifeline when Ben Hartl popped out a sacrifice bunt attempt on a 1-0 pitch, but that turned out to be the last out Wright recorded.
After the gift out, Wright issued a five-pitch walk, an eight-pitch walk that made it a one-run game, and then a six-pitch walk that tied the game at 4.
At that point, Guillermo Quiroz went to Jack Young, who got a popout on his second pitch to get within an out of sending the game to extras. But Boston Smith, who might've been lulled into a stupor by the sequence of events, let a 1-0 slider glance off his mitt for a walk-off passed ball.
