From Friday - 

 

[Joseph Zarr]

LHP Adam Seminaris ongoing rehab work:

1 1/3 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 ER

---

DSL Brewers #2's INF Pedro Ibarguen: 3-for-5, 4 R, 3 RBI, 1 HR

Now hitting 0.304 on the year with an 0.846 OPS in 112 AB's - 23 BB: 28 K. He continues to flash and offer intrigue.

[Ro Mueller]

Carolina get a second chance to clinch their home series over Delmarva, this time with RHP Logan Henderson (2.70 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 12.1 K/9 in 56.2 IP) on the bump. And the team welcomes 19-year old 2B Dylan O’Rae (.930 OPS with 28 SBs in 178 ACL PAs) for his Low-A debut. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Bradley Blalock makes his 2nd start for High-A Wisconsin (4 IP, 2 R, 6 Ks in debut), as they need a win at home over Dayton to grab a 3-2 series lead. LF Alex Hall has a 6-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

Not intimidated one bit: 

 

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi trails their home series against Tennessee 3-1 and has RHP TJ Shook (5.25 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 in 61.2 IP) making his 6th start (19th appearance) tonight. 1B Ernesto Martinez has a 7-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

Through 4 innings, the Mudcats have out-hit the Shorebirds 6-2 and also struck out 7 of them (vs. 3 Ks for Carolina), yet trail 1-0.

Keep up the traffic and we’ll win this one behind Logan Henderson.

[Ro Mueller]

AAA Nashville looks for a 5th straight win  in Indianapolis, with RHP Janson Junk (4.48 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 5.9 K/9 in 98:1 IP) getting tonight’s start. RF Jahmai Jones has an 8-game on-base streak. 

[SF70]

I want to see Henderson facing A+ hitters please.

[Ro Mueller]

Luke Adams walks off the Mudcats’ 6-3 win in style with a 3-run blast on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the 9th inning.

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Yerlin Rodriguez didn't have his best stuff in the zone today giving up the tying run in the top of the 9th but LF Kaylan Nicasia (very underrated defender - he actually made a diving stab of a catch in shallow LF for the first out of the ninth frame) took the rbi-single and hit a perfect relay to Jadher Areinamo who fired a strike to C Jose Sibrian for the tag and the out at home plate to preserve the tie. Oh, this Jose Sibrian:

Absolutely smoked a center cut heater. Well past the LF wall just left of the scoreboard. They were considering walking him too. I believe they made the wrong decision. The crowd was chanting 'Luuuuuuuuuke' before and after the AB. It was a 1-0 count, actually, because they gave the pitcher a clock violation. 106 mph off the bat. 426 feet of distance. Sweet mammy jammy.

[Joseph Zarr]

Do you think Adams knew? Or was mildly pumped? For those of us who've watched all year long, we know: Adams is so fun to watch. He loves the game.

Dueling Meat Sticks:

Patrick Dorrian with another tank (111.6 MPH, 443 feet) but Nashville trails 3-1 middle of six.

[Joseph Zarr]

3B Brock Wilken currently 2-for-2 with a 3-Bagger in der. Make that 2-for-3. He just struck out looking. 

 

[sveumrules]

ACL Brewers win 6-2 with Alexander Perez (2-5, SB), Eric Bitonti (2-4, 2B, BB) and Juan Baez (2-5, SBx2) leading the way on offense.

Was a group effort on the pitching side with Gerson Calzadilla throwing a scoreless frame (1 K, 1 BB) to lower his season ERA to 0.98 with 36 K and 10 BB over 36.2 IP for the 20 year old Venezuelan.

Recent signee KC Hunt also threw his second scoreless frame (1 K, 1 H) since coming aboard.

[sveumrules]

Biloxi falls 4-2.

Isaac Collins (0-2, BBx2), Carlos Rodriguez (2-4) and Freddy Zamora (2-3, BB) all reached multiple times while Luis Amaya, James Meeker and Zach Vennaro combined for five frames of scoreless relief work with 3 H | 1 BB | 4 K.

[Joseph Zarr]

INF Cam Devanney just hit his 2nd 2-bagger of his night to pull the Sounds within 3-2 with two down in the ninth. Men on 2nd and 3rd. 

[Ro Mueller]

That’s a rough end to the Minor League day.

Each of the Sounds, Shuckers and Rattlers got the potential game-running run to the plate in the 9th inning, but each lost.
