Low-A Carolina can clinch a 4-2 home series win with a victory over Lynchburg today. RF Reece Walling returns after exiting Tuesday’s game early. RHP Jeferson Figueroa (2.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 11.1 K/9 in 27.2 IP) hasn’t exceeded 57 pitches since September 2022 (last 42 outings), but don’t be surprised if he blows through that mark today.

High-A Wisconsin is also targeting a 4-2 home series win over South Bend, leaning on 22-year old RHP Alexander Cornielle (3.44 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 55 IP) to get the job done. 2B Jadher Areinamo is 2nd in the Midwest League in hits (77), 1st in doubles (18).

Oh ok! I did not know that, It is underway now. How did you find that out?

AAA Nashville needs a victory behind RHP Garrett Stallings (4.95 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 in 20 IP) today to earn a 3-3 series split at Jacksonville. 3B Patrick Dorrian’s 3 hits yesterday raised his average from .110 to .135.

I was wrong. Figueroa exits after 2 innings and 43 pitches, having yielded 3 runs on 2 homers and a double. RHP Jose Nova comes in with Carolina trailing 3-2.

Daniel Guilarte and Miguel Briceno have both doubled and scored for the good guys.

[Ro Mueller]

Stallings and Edward Cabrera are both being hit hard in Jacksonville. 4-4 game in the 3rd inning. The Sounds might have grabbed the lead if Wiemer could hit (K’d with Hicklen on 3rd with 1 out). Dorrian also tripled. Collins doubled and stole a base.

[Ro Mueller]

Alexander Cornielle threw 6 scoreless innings, allowing only 3 singles and a walk with 5 Ks. But it remains a tight affair with Wisconsin leading 2-0.

Luis Lara (double, run) and Jadher Areinamo (single, RBI, run) have principally generated the offense.

DH Jesus Chirinos exited after lining out in the 2nd inning. 

[Ro Mueller]

Stiven Cruz allowed 1 run in the 7th inning, then Aaron Rund stranded 2 in the 8th, so Wisconsin’s clinging to a 2-1 lead.

I figure Yerlin Rodriguez will get the 9th.

[Ro Mueller]

Opportunities have been a bit scarce for Carolina since the 2nd inning, which makes it more painful the they ran themselves out of the 4th and 6th innings via caught stealing (Yhoswar at 3rd, Luis Castillo at 2nd).

They trail 4-2 in the bottom of the 8th inning on a true bullpen day (4 Mudcat pitchers - max 2.2 IP).

I’m wrong again. Rund stays in for the 9th against South Bend’s 5-6-7 hitters.

[Ro Mueller]

They’re into the 8th inning in Jacksonville, with the Sounds trailing 6-5. It wasn’t planned as a bullpen day, but they were reasonably-rested to handle it after Garrett Stallings lasted only 1.2 IP.

Collins, Clarke and Hicklen are a promising trio due up.

Normally-reliable SS Gregory Barrios opens the 9th inning with an error to put the potential game-tying run on 2nd base. Gulp.

But Aaron Rund gets the job done with a swinging K, ground out (runner to 3rd) and another swinging K to end it. Timber Rattlers win 2-1 and capture the series over the Cubs 4 games to 2!

Isaac Collins ties it up on a blast to right field! 6-6, still in the 8th inning. That’s his 10th homer of the year. And Clarke follows with a walk.

Hicklen K’d, then Wiemer’s basically an automatic out at the moment (K), but Owen Miller walked and Yonny Hernandez put the Sounds ahead 7-6 with a 1st-pitch single the other way to score Wes Clarke!

That’s Nashville’s first lead of the day and RHP Kevin Herget comes in. Is he tasked with getting the final 6 outs?

The final 6 Mudcats went down in order, so they fall 4-2 and tied their home series against Lynchburg 3-3.

2B Filippo Di Turi reached base 3 times (2 singles, walk), but credit Hillcats’ just-turned 20-year old catcher Manuel Mejias with throwing out 3 of 4 attempted basestealers, a day after his teammate went 0-for-9.

Herget walked 2 and threw 24 pitches in a scoreless 8th, then Isaac Collins doubled and was stranded in the top of the 9th.

Who will Manager Rick Sweet look to to try to close it out?

Kevin Herget stays in to face Jacksonville’s 4-5-6 batters - Conine (15 HR in 2024), Bride (homered today), Johnston (26 HR last year), trying to close out a 7-6 win on the road.

And Kevin Herget shut ‘em down! K looking.. Hard hit line out to Collins in left. K swinging. Sounds come back to win 7-6 and even the series at Jacksonville 3-3.

Just glanced at the Mudcats schedule and they play at Down East next week so no audio/video....least favorite weeks of the season.
