A home win tonight over Peoria would give the High-A Timber Rattlers their second series victory of 2023. RHP Tyler Woessner (2.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 in 44.1 IP). CF Joe Gray Jr. is 8-for-19 with 3 HRs in his last 5 games. 

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi is tied 2-2 in their home series against Pensacola and has LHP Nick Bennett (4.15 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 in 26 IP) making his 2nd start (12th appearance) tonight. LF Isaac Collins has an 8-game on-base streak, while Tyler Black is absent from the lineup for the 2nd straight day. 

[Ro Mueller]

The Mudcats seek a 7th straight victory and 5th in Lynchburg. RHP Patricio Aquino (2.31 ERA in 23.1 IP) returns from injury for his first action in 24 days. DH Quinton Low makes his 3rd position player start in Low-A, seeking his first hit (0-for-9). 

[Ro Mueller]

A late collapse yesterday dropped AAA Nashville to a 2-2 tie in their series at Charlotte. RHP Janson Junk (4.27 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 6.2 K/9 in 46.1 IP) takes the hill tonight. SS Cam Devanney has a 7-game hitting streak.

Our first minor league game of the day is underway, with RF Jace Avina singling in CF Luis Lara (walk, SB) for a 1-0 Carolina 1st inning lead.

[Ro Mueller]

2B Jadher Areinamo goes the opposite way with 2 outs and a full count in the 2nd inning. 2-run single makes it 3-0 Mudcats.

[Ro Mueller]

The Shuckers copy the Mudcats’ playbook and grab a 1st inning lead as well, Zavier Warren signaling in Jackson Chourio (reached on error). 1-0 Biloxi after one inning.

[Joseph Zarr]

Devanney with another dub. Muh guy is heating up. Slowly. Like a bow drill fire. BUT, he's heating up!

[Ro Mueller]

Quinton Low reached on an error his first time up, now singles an 0-2 pitch to the opposite field for his first Low-A hit.

The Tyler Woessner that has showed up today looks like a guy who is going to be in the MLB someday. FB is sitting 95-97 at the top of the zone. Changeup, slider, curveball all have flashed today. He's looked absolutely filthy.

[Ro Mueller]

C Alex Jackson is now 22-for-92 this season (.239 AVG), with 8 HRs. He has 2 HRs today, as the Sounds and Knights are tied 2-2 in the 5th inning.

[Ro Mueller]

Sadly, James Meeker just had his worst outing ever: 6 earned runs in 2 innings of work, including 3 homers. 8-1 Pensacola leads in the 5th inning.

James Bleeker?

 

Sheeesh

Man this Down East, Carolina first half race is bonkers. Down East takes their fifth in a row at first place Columbia. Mudcats lead 7-1 looking for their 7th straight while only protecting a 1/2 game lead. 
 

Whewwwww

[Joseph Zarr]

Speaking of which, the Mudcats are dominating this series but CF Guy Lipscomb has been ultra impressive for Lychburg. Heck of a 5th Rd pick for the Guardians last year. He grabs his 34th SB today.

[wiguy94]

Think that will probably be it for Woessner. 6 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 SO. 89 pitches, 60 for strikes. His most impressive outing of the season.

Some nice relief work from Brannon Jordan and Justin King who combined to get 5 of the final 7 outs via K.

[wiguy94]

With the win tonight, Wisconsin guarantees their first series win since the first 6 game series of the season. They are starting to play some good baseball.

Anyone catch why Eric Brown Jr. left early?

Saw in the play log he singled, stole second then came around to score on a Joe Gray Jr. single in the bottom of the 5th before being replaced in the field top of 6th.

The single was kind of a jam shot to right field and he was shaking out his thumb in clear discomfort. Then on the SB the ball got by the Peoria SS and hit Brown in the groin area. 

Hopefully it was just precautionary and not something that will cause him to hit the IL or miss time.

Yeah, this was the kind of scenario I was imagining when in a different thread, I suggested they make the 40-man larger.
