Today’s rubber match to decide the 3-game home series between AAA Nashville and Jacksonville sees 22-year old RHP Jacob Misiorowski make his 2025 debut, with INF/OF Adam Hall and INF Freddy Zamora also making their first starts of the year.

Hope we can beat the guys from JaxVille!

Mis has been sharp since a walk to leadoff the game, and he even got squeezed a bit on a couple pitches in that AB. 4 K's through 2.

[Ro Mueller]

Misiorowski walked the opening batter and had a balk, but hit 98.8mph and K'd 3 straight to keep it scoreless.

CF Jared Oliva then got a little league homer on a hard hit single (and error) to center for an early 1-0 lead.

Miz is though 4 IP. 64 pitches. 6 K - yay. 3 BB ok. Only one hit - screamer past Miz and ate up Seigler playing 2nd. But still 1-0 Sounds. 

[Ro Mueller]

Le Mis is through 4 scoreless now, impressively escaping a 1st and 3rd, nobody out situation (walk, single) here by K’ing Troy Johnston, jamming Albert Almora Jr. into a shallow fly out and then inducing a ground out.

Sounds still lead 1-0.

[Ro Mueller]

Misiorowksi exits after 5 scoreless innings (79 pitches, 52 strikes), as 29-year old RHP Sam McWilliams makes his 2025 debut.

A reliever since 2021, McWilliams has not yet found success in AAA (8.08 ERA in 137 career AAA IP with 166 Ks).

He K’s the side in the 6th, hitting 95.3mph.

[Joseph Zarr]

With a runner on 3rd, EMJ strikes out looking (lefty on lefty matchup) in a 2-2 count. Another sweeper (inside black) in an AB filled with sweepers. 1-0 Sounds will continue to try and protect this lead in the 7th.

[Ro Mueller]

Now, 30-year old RHP Jesus Liranzo gets the 7th inning for his Brewers’ organizational debut. The Sounds are still clinging to a 1-0 lead. 

[Ro Mueller]

Liranzo hit 97.4mph, but nearly everything he threw was over the heart of the plate. A double and an RBI have tied it up.

On to the bottom of the 7th inning, tied 1-1.

[Ro Mueller]

Ah. Anthony Seigler stole 29 of 32 bases last season, but gets thrown out by old friend Brian Navarreto trying for 2nd base here in the 7th inning.

Then Jimmy Herron walked and we chose not to pinch hit Delgado for Adam Hall (K’d on 3 pitches).

RHP Vinny Nittoli comes in for the 8th inning, after LHP Tyler Jay threw a whopping one pitch (to end the 7th).

[Ro Mueller]

An inning-opening double, then 2 strikes mistakenly called balls nearly did in Vinny Nittoli, but there’s a pitch challenge system!

That last mistake was reversed and a strikeout correctly called instead.

He then got 3 whiffs by De Los Santos and escaped with a groundout. Nittoli’s peak velocity was 92.7mph. 

 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Ryan Middendorf comes in for the 9th inning after a 3-up, 3-down 8th inning by the Sounds. Still 1-1.

[Ro Mueller]

Middendorf mows them down with 3 straight Ks, topping out at 96.4mph.

Oliva, EMJ, Alfaro, Seigler and Herron are due up in the bottom of the 9th.

K, ground out, shallow fly. To the 10th tied 1-1 with the series hanging in the balance.

It’s time for 27-year old RHP Garrett Stallings to make his first appearance of 2025.

[Ro Mueller]

23-year old Jacob Berry fouled off 5 pitches before knocking in the ghost runner via sac fly off Stallings to give Jacksonville its first lead at 2-1.

Seigler, Herron and maybe some pinch hitters are due up to attempt to tie it or hopefully win.

[Ro Mueller]

Seigler walked, but Herron (bad start to season) and pinch hitter Spain K’d, leaving it to pinch hitter Raynel Delgado. Delgado worked an 8-pitch at bat but popped out to end it.

Facing his 7th batter in his 2nd inning of work, opposing RHP Christian Roa found another velocity level, throwing 98.3mph to Delgado. Tip of the cap to him.

Sounds fall 2-1, garnering just 3 hits in 10 innings. Sigh.

[SF70]

Team lost but Mis strike-throwing impressive. Maybe he can rotation after all. I’m sure the team is going to give him ample opportunity.
