AA Biloxi goes for a 5th straight win over Birmingham at home. RHP Tobias Myers (5.86 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 in 86 IP) gets the start and OF Jackson Chourio (1.327 OPS with 5 HRs and 27 hits in last 14 games) gets a rare DH day.

Encouraging pitching performances young RHP Daniel Corniel and long-recovering RHP Brailin Rodriguez in ACL Brewers’ 3-2 victory over ACL Diamondbacks Black today.

The High-A Timber Rattlers aim for a 4th straight win at home over Cedar Rapids.

I assume no explanation for Jarvis being yanked?

[wibadgers23]

This Shuckers offense is relentless, even without Quero in the lineup.

Some posters said Chourio was overrated...

His bat speed, raw power and athleticism have really showed up the past 1.5 months.  He looks like he’s recognizing pitches too which was stated as the problem earlier this year.  

[Ro Mueller]

The Sounds outhit the Tides 14-6, but needed a 9th inning rally to grab a 5-4 win.

Luis Urias was 0-for-4 before a key RBI double in the rally.

The major contributions came from less-heralded Josh VanMeter (game-winning 2-run homer, single, walk), Monte Harrison (double, 2 singles) and Skye Bolt (double, 2 singles).

RHPs Pedro Fernandez (starting due to Justin Jarvis’ unexplained absence) and Luis Contreras (3 scoreless innings) combined to garner 12 Ks. RHP Thyago Vieira nailed down the 3-up, 3-down save.

You weren’t kidding on that Corniel line,  5 IP | 1 ER | 4 H | 0 BB | 8 K.

Seems like if he can iron out his command (7.97 BB9), there’s some good stuff to work with at 10.62 K9 and a 51.0 GB% before tonight.

[sveumrules]

Logan Henderson with a gem, 5 IP | 2 ER | 4 H | 1 BB | 8 K.

Tyler Wehrle and Yerlin Rodriguez then combined for four scoreless and 2 H | 1 BB | 3 K.

Luke Adams (who else?) with the big game at 2-2 with a double and two walks, while Gregory Barrios plated all three runs via a single and ROE as Carolina prevails 3-2.

[sveumrules]

Joe Gray Jr. big three run bomb.

Hendry Mendez, Ben Metzinger, Jheremy Vargas all went 2-4. Robert Moore (single, two walks), Matthew Wood (single, walk) each on base multiple times.

But Karlos Morales (1.1 IP | 2 BB | 3 K) had the only scoreless line as Wisco falls 11-3.

[sveumrules]

Lotsa big nights for Biloxi with Tristen Lutz (2-3, 2xHR, BB), Wes Clarke (2-4, HR), Chourio (2-5, 3B), Isaac Collins (2-4, SF), Zavier Warren (1-3, BB), Freddy Zamora (2-3, SF, SB) and Lamar Sparks (2-4, 2B) all spending lotsa time on or circling the bases as the Shuckers roll 9-4. 

[sveumrules]

Timber Rattlers did win the suspended game as Tanner Shears walked two and struck out three in the top of the tenth.

Bottom half saw Matthew Wood intentionally walked, but Joe Gray Junior’s grounder to SS only yielded an out at first.

Hendry Mendez was then intentionally walked to load the bases before Eduardo Garcia’s dribbler to 3B scored Robert Moore for the walk off.
