[wiguy94]

No EBJ for the 3rd straight day? Another injury?

[sveumrules]

Mudcats lead 6 to 2 top of six.

Yophery Rodriguez is 2 for 3 with a walk, a pair of runs scored, and two RBI.

Dikember Sanchez (1 H | 1 K) and Jeison Peña have each thrown scoreless frames as Brailin Rodriguez takes the mound bottom six.

[CheeseheadInQC]

So, that’s quite a first rehab outing for Williams, huh. Three hitters, three strikeouts.

[sveumrules]

Wisco leading 5 to 1 bottom of six.

Luis Lara, Eduardo Garcia, Felix Valerio and Ramon Rodriguez have a pair of hits each already.

Devin Williams struck out the side top of six while Alexander Cornielle preceded him with two 1-2-3 innings of his own including three strikeouts.

[sveumrules]

Biloxi tied zero zero top of five though a trio of two out walks have loaded the bases for Connor Scott.

He honestly looked like he was just going through the motions as well. Last 3 FB were all 94 and his changeup was filthy.

[sveumrules]

Nashville leads 2 to 1 bottom six with a two run Brewer Hicklen blast accounting for the runs.

Garrett Stallings went 5.1 IP | 1 ER | 5 H | 3 BB | 4 K.

I bring video proof of DW's nastiness.

 

[sveumrules]

Yhoswar Garcia singled, stole second then scored on Luis Castillo’s second double of the game.

Carolina now leading 7 to 4 heading to top of eight after Morris Austin threw a scoreless frame bottom of seven (1 BB).

[sveumrules]

Brewer Hicklen walked, stole 2nd, went to 3rd on an error, and then scored on a wild pitch as the Sounds now lead 3 to 1.

Janson Junk is back out on the mound top of eight after taking over for Stallings in the sixth.

[sveumrules]

Blalock gave up a walk, a pair of singles and a run in the fifth before Bo Bowman came on and stranded both runners with a sac bunt and two strikeouts.

[sveumrules]

Stiven Cruz threw a scoreless eighth (1 HBP) and Chase Costello struck out the first two batters of the ninth before going single, walk, single to load the bases.

& Costello gets a ground ball to Luke Adams to secure the 5 to 3 TRats victory and pick up his third save of the season.

[sveumrules]

Tyler Bryant pitched a scoreless eighth (1 BB | 2 K) and Jeferson Figueroa worked around a pair of walks to notch his second save of the season in the 7 to 4 Mudcats win.

[sveumrules]

James Meeker came into a two on nobody out jam in the Nashville ninth and coaxed three outs out of two ground balls to earn his first save of the year as the Sounds prevail 3 to 2.

[sveumrules]

Dylan O’Rae walked for the fourth time & stole second, Carlos Rodriguez singled, Brock Wilken singled, Connor Scott doubled, a passed ball scored Wilken, Ernesto Martinez Jr. walked and Adam Hall singled to tie the score at four apiece top of seven.

Craig Yoho is on after the stretch and has loaded the bases with two outs on a pair of singles and a walk, but escapes the jam with his second strikeout of the inning.

[sveumrules]

Nick Kahle singled, Casey Martin reached on error, and Dylan O’Rae walked for the fifth time to load the bases.

Singles from Carlos Rodriguez and Ernesto Martinez scored all three giving Biloxi a 7 to 4 advantage top of eight.

[sveumrules]

Yoho comes back out for the eighth after throwing 24 pitches in the seventh.

Gave up a run (some bad luck with a Casey Martin error in there) and Justin Yeager has been summoned to try and get the third out of the inning with two men on base, which he does on a three pitch punch out.

[sveumrules]

Yeager back out for the ninth trying to record the four out save.

& he goes pop out, strike out, line out to put the finishing touches on the 7 to 5 Shuckers win and a much needed 5 W - 0 L day from Carolina on up to Milwaukee.

[Joseph Zarr]

O'Rae with a 5 BB and 0 K day has his BB:K ration back to a very sightly 18:24. Can his bat speed and contact rate improve? Time will tell but we'll take five free passes in the lead-off spot any day of the week (especially with his speed and overall threat on the base paths). Keep grinding, young man!
