Where are you seeing a game headed to the 7th?!? LOL. I see a 2-0 game in the 4th. Montgomery has a man on 3rd. 

I am watching it live. Gameday is frozen.  It's top of 7, EMJ walked, and Campbell up. Still 2-2

[Ro Mueller]

The ACL Brewers and ACL Reds have agreed to play 7 innings tonight.

RHP Enniel Cortez had a solid 1st inning (1 single, 2 Ks) and I hope he throws at least 5 frames, because I don’t want to rely on well-rested Prado, Mogollon or Meneses (sorry all) to close it out once we grab the lead.

[biedergb]

T-Rats need to start the rally now.

 

Separately - In Montgomery:

A bloop hit by Warren, and Biloxi now lead 3-2, and runner on the corners. Murray up with no outs.

And a strikeout, pop out and ground out and Murray, CRod and Boeve strand the runners. OK I will stop posting good things about Biloxi.  (Shakes his head in shame)

[biedergb]

And an Anferny Reyes sighting in Charleston.

And 4 straight balls. Ball 1 and then a HBP. 

Not a great start to his low A debut.  :(

[Ro Mueller]

10 ACL Brewers’ hitters came up in their 6-run 2nd inning, punctuated by a (rehabbing) Felix Valerio 2-run triple. That’s a nice 6-0 cushion. Now for some solid pitching.

[Ro Mueller]

Too bad Anfernny Reyes was that jittery for his full season affiliate debut. 3 walks, 1 HBP and he gets pulled. Cristopher Carrasco then walks the first batter he faces. Ugly bottom of the 8th inning.

But Carrasco gets the ground ball back to him for the final out of the frame. Only 2 runs came across. Mudcats lead 7-4. Get it done, men.

[Ro Mueller]

Collins (HBP) and Clarke (single) have reached in the bottom of the 8th inning with 1 out for the Sounds, trailing 5-3.

Can Miller or Mejia come through?

[biedergb]

And that missed opportunity come back to haunt them. Biloxi concedes a run and it's now 3-3. I had to turn off for an inning or two, so not sure how. But Bottom 8, Seminaris still in, and an error by Wilken and it's a man on with 2 outs.

 

Apparently it was an inside the park home run in the 7th by Simpson (the same guy who messed up Shane Smith's inning yesterday or the day before).

Miller got ahead 3-1, but K’d swinging at a low pitch. But Francisco Mejia golfed the first pitch he saw into left field for an RBI single. Then Hernandez grounded out.

Nashville’s within 5-4, so will have to win it in the 9th inning. RHP Tyler Woessner is in his 4th inning of long relief. 

[biedergb]

Woessner keeps it a 1 run game. Last cahnce for the Sounds.

 

In Montgomery, it's still 3-3. EMJ walks, and 1 out.

[Ro Mueller]

Encouraging performance by Woessner - 1 run, 5 Ks in 4 IP. He’s done his job.

Down 5-4 with 3 outs remaining, it’s up to Roller, Zamora and Capra to send the home fans happy.

[biedergb]

And it was Campbell, not EMJr who walked. 2 outs, A walk by Murray, and it's 2 on, 2 out and C. Rod is up. But pops it up. and 3-3 on to the bottom of the 9th.

 

Sounds need a rally, Now. Roller 1st out. Zamora up.

[Ro Mueller]

Injury delay in Arizona after Eric Bitonti reaches on an error in the 4th inning. He exits in favor of Johan Barrios. Hopefully nothing serious.

Our ACL team leads 6-0, with Enniel Cortez cruising along.

[Ro Mueller]

Thankfully Zamora walked, so we could at least get to Wiemer and maybe Collins. Fingers crossed.

Mr. Sweet - we all appreciate Vinny Capra, but let’s not hit him leadoff please.

[Ro Mueller]

Woo hoo! Wiemer walks and Isaac Collins brings ‘em both home with the walk-off double!!!!

[wiguy94]

ISAAC COLLINS WALKOFF!

[biedergb]

Bottom of the 9th. Seminaris stays in. First batter singles. Then bunt and almost miscue by Seminaris who threw too high, but still got the runner. Simpson (the speed demon) is on now. Winning run for the other team on 2nd base.

[biedergb]

Sam Carlson comes in with a 2 on, 2 out scenario and gets a high flyout to RF.

On to extras, with Shuckers up with CRod on 2nd, and Boeve up. Let's go Shuckers. Please.

[biedergb]

Biloxi has Boeve lead off with a fly out and CRod tags, and makes it to 3rd with a bad throw by the CF. 

THen a WP, and Biloxi is up 4-3. And now Wilken earns a walk. C'mon Shuckers!

[biedergb]

Ugh. Killer GIDP by Miller. And it stays only 4-3. On to the bottom of the 10th, Sam Carlson still on the mound.

[biedergb]

And a single by Seymour, and the bobble by Warren in LF lets the tying run score. 4-4. Carlson gets an out. Then ugh. A near HR, but big time double and it's 5-4. Ballgame. Shuckers lose. Heartbreak. This team.

[Joseph Zarr]

Isaac Collins.

Love it. My guy since last summer. Ride or die with that young man. Gamer. Just a 100% Gamer.

Absolutely. They are an extremely challenging watch. And I say that as nicely as possible. Sometimes the truth hurts. Watching the Shuckers in 2024 has been capital painful.

[Joseph Zarr]

The ACL Crew led 8-0 in the 4th of this 7-inning tilt. It is now 9-9 after the Red's 6th inning 5-spot. Crew just stranded runners on the corner. On to the bottom of the 7th.
