Just not Knoth's night here early. Command and control have not been great. Really grinding.

Hey now:

 

Really quiet hands, not much front leg gobbledygook, just simple & straight to the ball. Likey.

[wiguy94]

So many middle-middle 2 strike pitches from Knoth today. Think this will be his final inning with his pitch count pushing 70 through 2.2 innings.

[sveumrules]

Luis Lara singled, advanced to second on a softly hit Jadher Areinamo ground out and came around to score on an Eduardo Garcia single to get Wisco on the board first bottom of one.

[sveumrules]

Will Rudy six up six down four strikeouts in the early going for the TRats.

[sveumrules]

Joey Wiemer, Patrick Dorrian and Brewer Hicklen walks loaded the bases for Nashville with two down bottom of one.

A Francisco Mejia bomb brought em all home.

[sveumrules]

Morris Austin came on for Carolina top of four and went lineout, walk to the first two batters faced then struck out the next five in a row.

[sveumrules]

Carlos Rodriguez has worked around a pair of singles while striking out four over two scoreless frames to start the evening for the Sounds.

[wiguy94]

M-Braves open the game with swinging bunt, bunt, bunt that Smith throws into RF. It's 2-0 M-Braves and they haven't hit a ball beyond the infield grass. 

[sveumrules]

Carlos Rodriguez now up to four scoreless with six strikeouts, three singles and a walk. 

[sveumrules]

Darrien Miller single, Eric Brown Jr. double and Ernesto Martinez Jr. HBP has the bases juiced top two for Biloxi.

& a Lamar Sparks groundout scores one, runners on the corners for Casey Martin - who pops out to first.

Will be up to Adam Hall, who lines out sharply to LF.

[sveumrules]

Eric Prado with three scoreless (2 H | 1 BB | 2 K) to start things off for the Zona Crew.

[sveumrules]

Carlos Rodriguez gave up a three run jack in the fifth then a solo shot to lead off the sixth.

Then went on to load the bases with a walk, bunt single and HBP.

James Meeker came on and got a run scoring groundout and a pair of strikeouts to keep the score at 5-4 Memphis.

[biedergb]

Wow after an amazing night in the affiliates yesterday - today not so much. CF Rodriguez ran into trouble (havne't watched tonight), but was apparently cruising then 5 runs in 2 innings with Memphis still batting. And offensively one hit (Mejia grand slam HR in the first).

Knoth a short outing and the Muddies not doing much.

TRats down 3-1 with only a few hits.

Shuckers struggling to get offense going as well, and Shane Smith laboring with 75 pitches in 3 IP.

The ACL Crew are winning, but 4 runs on only 2 hits (Bitonti and Gomez with singles), but Prado having his best pro outing so far I think

[sveumrules]

Mudcats go final with a 7 to 1 loss.

Anfernny Reyes struck out a pair in a perfect ninth.

Satchell Norman (triple, single), Yhoswar Garcia (single, walk) and David Garcia (two walks) each got on twice.

[sveumrules]

Shuckers have tied it at three apiece after picking up a pair of runs top of four.

Darrien Miller walked, moved to second on an EBJ groundout, then scored on an EMJ single.

Lamar Sparks singled and Casey Martin reached on error to load the bases with an Adam Hall HBP scoring the tying run.

Bo Bowman on in relief on Shane Smith and goes 1-2-3 with a strikeout in the bottom half.

[sveumrules]

Yerlin Rodriguez having a Yerlin Rodriguez outing here top of nine.

Walk, stolen base, strikeout, walk, wild pitch, strikeout, strikeout.

Wisco trails 5 to 1 with three outs left.

[sveumrules]

Kevin Herget went 1-2-3 with a strikeout in the seventh to lower his ERA to 2.86 on the season.

But Ryan Middendorf gave up two runs in the eighth as Nashville now trails 7 to 4 heading to the bottom half.

Isaac Collins has singled to lead things off.

[sveumrules]

TJ Shook gets out of a runners on second and third with one out jam by getting the big K for out number two and a groundout to complete the Houdini act.

Still tied three three through seven complete.

[sveumrules]

Biloxi has taken the lead here top of eight.

Casey Martin ROE and Adam Hall catchers interference put two for a Dylan O’Rae RBI single to make it 4 to 3.

DO’R has stolen second and Carlos Rodriguez the outfielder has walked to load the bases.

And a Darrien Miller sac fly makes it 5 to 3.

[sveumrules]

Darrien Miller sac fly prompted a pitching change and an Eric Brown Jr. single scores two more.

Now 7 to 3 Shuckers.

[sveumrules]

Zona Crew holding onto a 4 to 3 lead bottom of eight.

Eric Prado finished up with 5 IP | 1 ER | 4 H | 1 BB | 5 K while Dencer Geraldo (0.2 IP | 1 BB | 1 K) and Felipe De Los Santos (1.1 IP | 1 BB | 1 K) have each put up zeroes to get them to the precipice.

[sveumrules]

Felipe De Los Santos back on the mound top of nine and surrenders three runs via E6, single, double and sac fly.

Zona Crew has Luis Lameda, Josh Adamczewski and Eric Bitonti due up bottom nine trying to overcome the 6 to 4 deficit.

[sveumrules]

Russell Smith (1 BB) and Justin Yeager (1 H) each pitched a scoreless frame to close out the 8 to 3 Biloxi win.

[Joseph Zarr]

How about 6 scoreless innings for that Shuckers bullpen. Tip our beers to Bo Bowman, TJ Shook, Russ Smith, and Justin Yeager. Those 7-4 Shuckers are in first place early in the second half with a 1.5 G lead over Pensacola (5-5). Woot woot. The OF camera curse broken, the last place shackles removed. We're on the up n' up, baby! With two doubles on the evening EBJ pushed his OPS north of 0.500. I nearly cried 🤭.
