There were five games on tap in the Rangers minor league system today, as Down East played a doubleheader to make up its rainout from yesterday.
In game one for Down East, the DEWDs won 1-0 on extras. Carolina logged just a single hit, off starter Wyatt Sparks, who struck out four and walked one in 4 IP. Nick Starr, Joe Corbett and Joshua Javier combined for four shutout no hit innings after Sparks. The three hits for Down East came from Obie Ricumstrict, Evan Carter (who had two walks, one intentional) and Dustin Harris, who had the walk off single and also walked. Jayce Easley drew a pair of walks and stole two bases. Evan Carter also had a stolen base.

Contrary to media coverage of a recent report by the National Audit Office, over 80% of grants awarded in the first round of the Fund have been paid to successful organisations with the final instalments scheduled to be paid in early April. 85% of loans to the value of over £149 million have also been paid to successful organisations since February. This means that the funding designed to support organisations up until April has now gone out.
