I just realized today that Wisconsin has had a ridiculous schedule to start the season. All 27 of their games have been against the top 4 teams in the Midwest League so far this season.

9 vs Cedar Rapids who are 17-9

6 vs Quad Cities who are 18-8

6 vs Lansing who are 16-11

6 vs West Michigan who are 17-10

So while their 11-16 record isn't good the +1 run differential and schedule difficulty might mean they could go on a run here in May when their schedule softens up.

Good catch and Chris and Kyle definitely touched on this on Sunday’s postgame pod:

Lineup for the second ACL game looks like this…

Jorge Quintana SS
Handelfry Encarnacion RF
Jose Anderson CF
Luis Corobo C
Juan Ortuno 2B
Kevin Ereu 3B
Jadyn Fielder LF
Frederi Montero 1B
Pedro Ibarguen DH

Jayden Dubanewicz P

[sveumrules]

Zona Cubs got an unearned run in the first (Fielder error) and Jose Anderson answered back with a solo shot for the Brewers in the bottom half.

[sveumrules]

Juan Ortuno singled, advanced to second on an errant pickoff, stole third, and jogged home on a Jadyn Fielder bomb in his first pro AB.

3-1 Zona Crew.

[wiguy94]

Jadyn Fielder hits a HR to right center in his first pro AB. Cool moment for him!

[sveumrules]

Dubanewicz gave up a pair of one out singles but minimized damage with a Luis Corobo caught stealing (run scored), his third strikeout of the evening (runner to first on a wild pitch), and a pop out.

[sveumrules]

Jose Anderson goes deep again, 4-2 Crew.

[sveumrules]

Rough start to the fourth for Dubanewicz with a four pitch walk and RBI double, but bounced back nicely with two more strikeouts and a groundout to strand the runner.

I can’t remember- how common is it in the ACL to have pitchers go 4-5 IP?

I seemed to remember a lot of 2-3 inning stints but that may have been due to poor pitching (at least results wise) last year.

Dubanewicz going 4 innings in 66 pitches is good for a debut I think.

And Anderson can find himself joining Peña and Made later this summer I think

I thought so too, but they brought him back out for the 5th and he gave up a triple and fielders choice to tie things up at four each.

Joshua Quezada on in relief.

[sveumrules]

& of course Quezada goes 1-2-3 with a strikeout.

[sveumrules]

Handelfry HBP, Jose Anderson walk, two on nobody out.

Luis Corobo doubles to score Handelfry and get the Zona Crew back on top 5-4.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd still no outs.

[sveumrules]

Ortuno HBP loads em up for Kevin Ereu.

Jadyn Fielder (walked in 2nd PA) looms on deck.

Wild pitch made it a 6-4 lead and Frederi Montero walked to the opened up base, but that was it.

Fielder struck out to complete his Three True Outcome bingo card.

[sveumrules]

Long wait in the dugout doesn’t faze Quezada who goes three up three down with another strikeout.

[sveumrules]

Quintana. Corobo, Ortuno, and Gery Holguin (subbed in for Ereu) walks add up to one more run, Arizona style.

[sveumrules]

& Jadyn Fielder fouls off a couple two strike pitches to work a walk of his own, now an 8-4 lead bottom six.

Frederi Montero, bored with all the walks, goes for a two RBI single instead. Make that 10-4 good buddy (hopefully not over & out)

[Joseph Zarr]

I  have to say, one of the unsung fringe dubs this very time of year is that annual reminder there is indeed an 'American Cornhole League'. And it is indeed above the MLB Complex League in the Search Engines.

[sveumrules]

Griffin Tobias in for the 7th, gives up a single to his first batter, but gets a pair of grounders for three outs to face the minimum.

[sveumrules]

Daurys Mora (last pitched 34 innings in the 2022 DSL) takes the mound for the 8th inning.

Puts up a very On The Complex Inning going strikeout, E6, strikeout, double, stolen base, wild pitch, hit by pitch, strikeout.

Either way, gotta feel good to “strikeout the side” in your first inning stateside after a two season layoff.

11-6 Zona Crew lead bottom of eight.

[sveumrules]

Corobo walked, went to second on a wild pitch, to third on an E6, and scored on a Fielder sac fly to make it 12-6.

Jose Meneses on to try and secure the last three outs.

Goes F7, K, double, K and that’s a wrap as Zona Crew improves to 2 W - 0 L.
