Trenton & Tampa both win late

Slade Heathcott took batting practice today for the first time since having his second left shoulder operation last year. He says it went well. Meanwhile, Josh Norris interviewed Tyler Austin recently, so check that out.

Yadil Mujica went 10-for-18 last week and was named the Double-A Eastern League Offensive Player of the Week.

Low-A Charleston (6-4 loss to Hickory)

3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 SB
RF Tyler Austin: 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 CS — that’s his first career caught stealing, he’d been a perfect 20-for-20 in stolen base attempts in 69 career games prior to today
