Here's the lineup for Game One of our Carolina Mudcats Doubleheader today.

 

Brendan Murphy (4th round draft pick in 2017, but largely injured since) gets his first start since September 2017. In his 2021 debut one week ago, he struck out 7 in 3 innings, giving up 1 hit, 1 walk and 0 runs:

Nice to see Brendan Murphy pitching well again.

Keston Hiura's batting second and Daniel Robertson is out of the MLB concussion protocol and back in action on a rehab assignment for our Nashville Sounds:

Hiura 2-3 with 2 doubles….and a strike out

[homer]

Hiura has 2 doubles....and 2 strikeouts.

 

edit: JINX!

[markedman5]

Strong start for Shook

[Harold Hutchison]

Hiura 2-3 with 2 doubles….and a strike out

 

I'm encouraged by the doubles.

 

If Hiura can not try to loft everything, and just concentrate on getting good wood on the ball... he'll be back to the 2019 form in no time.

VIDEO Tweet via the Sounds: HR Derby!

 

Red-hot Corner infielder (and RH bat) Zach Green did not play for the first time here (in Sounds' Game #8). Not that I'm causing speculation or anything.

 

No less then three MLB rehabbers in the starting lineup (Daniel Robertson, Derek Fisher, Jace Peterson), with Christian Yelich set to add to that list Friday.

Keston Hiura's 2021 Nashville debut (played first base, no errors) --

 

Struck out swinging on a 2-2 pitch

 

Doubled on a line drive to left on a 2-2 pitch

 

Doubled on a line drive to center on a 1-1 pitch

 

Struck out swinging on an 0-2 pitch

Pre-Game Media Notes

RISP: 3-for-8.

 

Lutz Go Crazy! Tristen's OPS at 1.224, and only five K's in 30 AB's.

 

Payton Henry's quest to start all 120 Shuckers games at catcher in 2021 still intact.

[Jim Goulart]

Box: Peoria 3, Wisconsin 2

 

Late Peoria Rallies Beat Wisconsin

Rattlers fall 3-2 to Chiefs

By Chris Mehring

 

RISP: 1-for-8.

 

12 K's and one BB for the T-Rats, but it's going to be fun following David Hamilton all season.

 

On the flip side, 14 K's and four BB's for the three Wisconsin pitchers.

 

We see you, Reese Olson.

 

We miss you, Garrett Mitchell.

If you are so inclined, the Chiefs' Twitter timeline this AM includes four of their video highlights. The quality of the viewing is poor, so you may wish to save your click. We take what we get for road games.

Box, Game One: Down East (Rangers) 1, Carolina 0, eight innings

 

Mudcats Blanked in Game 1 in Kinston

Felix Valerio’s first inning single was Carolina’s only hit in the game

 

RISP: 0-for-7 (yes, despite just one hit - three of those opportunities, of course, in the extra frame)

Box, Game Two: Carolina 2, Down East 0

 

Shook and Reifert Lead Mudcats in First Road Win

The Mudcats ended up with a doubleheader split after shutting out the Wood Ducks in Game Two

 

RISP: 0-for-5, but the runs scored on an error and a sacrifice fly. Balls in play!
