Low-A Carolina looks to even its series 2-2 at home against  Fredericksburg. RHP Aidan Maldonado (3.77 ERA in 14.1 IP) makes his 3rd start of the year. DH/INF Daniel Guilarte’s 31-game on-base streak (including 5 games last year) continues.  

[Ro Mueller]

Can the High-A Timber Rattlers make it 2 wins in a row? RHP Alexander Cornielle (5.29 ERA in 17 IP) aims for a bounce-back outing after a rough last start. SS Eric Brown Jr. has an 11-game on-base streak, while OF Micah Bello has been absent from the line-up since Sunday.

AA Biloxi can clinch a series victories with a 4th straight win over Rocket City at home tonight. RHP Tobias Myers (4.50 ERA in 30 IP) makes his 7th start of 2023. LF Noah Campbell (.945 OPS in 85 PAs) has a 7-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

The AAA Sounds aim to take a 3-1 series lead over Gwinnett at home tonight, with recently-solid RHP Caleb Boushley getting the start (2.21 ERA in last 20.1 IP). LF Keston Hiura (1.077 OPS in 130 PAs) is tied for the home run lead (12) in the 20-team International League. 

[SF70]

Freddy Zamora with 3 hits including a 2B & a HR, his 5th on the year. OPS at .935 now. After missing almost all of last year due to injury, he’s come back this year with a vengeance.

This organization can use another SS prospect, especially one with some pop in the bat. Love to see this.

Carolina up 4-3 heading into bottom of the 8th.

Guilarte (1-3, BB) has extended his on base streak, while Jace Avina (2-4, 2B) and Jadher Areinamo (3-4, 2B) have been the other standouts at the plate.

Make that 5-3 with a Kalyan Nicasia HR.

Tanner Shears lowers his season ERA to 0.75 with 2.1 scoreless frames.

[sveumrules]

Wisconsin up 10-6 top of the 6th with a pair of three run homers from Darrien Miller and Eduardo Garcia doing the heavy lifting.

Corneille was cruising perfect through three and scoreless through four before  giving up five in the fifth.

[sveumrules]

Chourio and Zavier Warren have joined Zamora in the bomb squad.

7-0 Biloxi bottom 7th.

[sveumrules]

Nashville knotted up 2-2 top of 7th.

Patrick Dorrian two run HR about it on offense.

Caleb Boushley with a solid 5 IP | 1 ER | 5 H | 2 BB | 4 K

[sveumrules]

Luis Contreras records all five outs via K while Harold Chirino strikes out a pair in a scoreless 9th to secure the Shuckers win.

Carolina also prevails 6-3 with a Guilarte sac fly accounting for the sixth run and Nick Merkel picking up the save with 3 IP | 1 ER | 3 H | 0 BB | 7 K

[sveumrules]

Brannon Jordan strikes out a pair over two scoreless frames to close out the Wisco victory and lower his ERA to 1.59 for the season.

Nashville has Harrison - Perkins - Monasterio due up hoping to spark a walk off or at least extend it to extras trailing 4-3 bottom nine.

[sveumrules]

Here’s that Jackson jack…

[Ro Mueller]

Keston Hiura (after being picked off in 7th inning; went out to LF for 3 defensive plays) and Jeferson Quero (after popping out in 3rd inning; pulled immediately) both exited their games early.

Hopefully there’s no serious injury for either player.

Nicasia with the swagger here on his first blast of 2023. Born in the Netherlands, generally labeled as from Curaçao. Impressive walk rate this year. Switch-hitting utility man who primarily plays RF now. Collected a $125k signing bonus in 2021 draft. Turned 21 last month.

How did this carry so far... This guy has some serious pop

[Playing Catch]

Other than the concern over Hiura and Quero, this was one of the more encouraging nights of the season so far. Saw some life from a lot of exciting young bats. Even Cornielle's start looked (statistically) strong before the grand slam, 8 Ks in 4.1 IP.

I think that was the craziest opposite field HR from Chourio yet, which is saying something with all of his opposite field HRs.

I'm genuinely curious if anyone can remember a player, at any level, who had so much power to the opposite field corner? It's uncanny.
