Tue. 6/3: It's Our First Standard Seven-Pack of the Season

[Joseph Zarr]

Hit 90 mph here in the 2nd. Just K'd McCann on a really nasty slider. 91 mph (see @wiguy94😅) gets a RF fly out to Dalbec. Two up and two down early. Meanwhile, Smith got the K there. Men on 2nd and 3rd. Two down. LHP Bjorn Johnson will come on.

Woody just took a comebacker off the arm. Ruh roh! 108 mph off the bat! OH No! He's coming out.

[Joseph Zarr]

OH man. That appeared to smack him smack dab on the lower part of his upper right arm just above the elbow. My gods. Come on, man. Brutal.

[sveumrules]

Literal, Metaphorical, and Existential OUCH for Woody. Dang.

Yeah. Just really hoping and praying it was a massive stinger and nothing 'hairline' or the sorts. It was straight off that arm and bounced with a fury after the BAM. Just really really hoping and praying for him. That's a lonnnnng process to get to that part of his comeback. Brutally bad luck. Time to step away for a moment and do some farm animal chores and put some games on pause. Sighs.

[sveumrules]

Cornielle worked around a runners on the corners (HBP and single) one out jam in the first by striking out the next two batters.

Then registered a 1-2-3 second with a third strikeout.

Luis Lara leadoff double was stranded in the first.

[Joseph Zarr]

First throw from Quero to 2B is late and about 3' short up the 3B line. Yeah. Let's toss that up to early jitters. Yeah, that's it. 1:37:04 for those interested on replay. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Agent (Bjorn) Johnson is doing Agent Johnson things. Anderson helps him with a really nice grab headed toward the RF warning track. 6-0 Muddies headed to the bottom of the 7th.

[sveumrules]

Mudcats putting up another big inning in the seventh capped off by a Luis Peña RBI triple (Jesus Made also added a RBI single earlier).

Now 10-0 Carolina.

[sveumrules]

Cornielle cruising with five scoreless of 2 H | 1 HBP | 3 K work on 67 pitches (42 strikes).

Shuckers got on the board bottom four with a Darrien Miller single (balk) and Garrett Spain RBI single.

[Joseph Zarr]

Peña again. Whewwwww. An oppo triple deep into the RF corner. My goodness. That young man can just reach them and rip em. Amazing. It is a 10-0 Mudcats lead.

[sveumrules]

NASH has evened things up at two each  in the fifth.

Got one in the third on a Zamora single, stolen base, wild pitch, and a Jimmy Herron sac fly.

Second run was manufactured in the fourth with a Dalbec walk, Rosario single, Alfaro ground out and Raynel Delgado sac fly.

Josh Maciejewski has filled in admirably on short notice allowing one of Woody’s runners and one of his own over 3.1 IP with 3 H | 0 BB | 4 K.

[Joseph Zarr]

I see I am once again behind my mentor in @sveumrules.

Meanwhile, a deep LF sac fly from Raynel Delgado has the Sounds back even 2-2. 

Spain hit an RBI single up the middle in the bottom of the 4th. Shuckers lead 1-0. 

[sveumrules]

Two out rally for NASH in the fifth…Seigler walk, Quero single, Dalbec RBI single makes it a 3-2 Sounds lead.

[Joseph Zarr]

Seigler credited with an error on a very sharply hit grounder right at him. They'll rule it an E5. That is Seigler's first error in his season.

* I have gone back in time, btw. This error happens before the rally Sveumsy alludes to above. WE KEEP YOU ON YOURE TOES IN THE GAME THREAD. Can you handle this?!? 😜 *

[Joseph Zarr]

Whatever happens in this Sounds contest you have to tip your hat to the 'Maciec Man'. Just an incredible job to come in under these Woodruff early exit circumstance and just hit his stride. Highly impressive outing.

[Joseph Zarr]

BTW, that top of the 5th ended with a back pick pick-off CS maneuver from the Maciec Man. And then Zamora made a cross body heave web gem charging up play into shallow LF. Really sexy play.

[sveumrules]

How about a little Arizona Complex action ??

Juan Ortuno 3B
Handelfry Encarnacion CF
Jorge Quintana SS
Frederi Montero 1B
Roderick Flores 2B
Luis Corobo DH
Kevin Garcia C
Jadyn Fielder LF
Engel Paulino RF

Jayden Dubanewicz went three up three down (1 K) in the first.

[sveumrules]

Cornielle with a 4U3D sixth (1 BB | 2 K) and now Nate Peterson is on for the seventh trying to protect the 1-0 Shuckers lead.

Incredible outing in an incredible season. Just continues to impress. Every time he's faced adversity he's bounced back an even better pitcher. Just an absurdly impressive Double-A jump from Cornielle. @biedergb: I know you are reading these words fresh home from a long day at the hospital...

[sveumrules]

Carolina goes final at 10-0.

Garrett Hodges pitched the last two scoreless frames (2 H | 1 BB | 2 K) to complete the shutout.

[sveumrules]

After an Ortuno walk - Handelfry K - Ortuno CS sequence left the bases empty with two outs bottom of one Quintana doubled and Frederi singled to get ACL Brewers on the board first.

Meanwhile Dubanewicz puts up another 1-2-3 in the second.

[Joseph Zarr]

More importantly, perhaps, the Mudcats gained a game on second place Lynchburg who lose @ Salem 8-3. Muddies open up a 4.0 G lead on the division. Crucial with the Muddies heading to the Hillcats park next week. Every game absolutely counts this late in the first half.

Do not sleep on Quintana. He has been red hot since his early struggles. You love to see it. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Old friend RHP Kevin Herget is on for the Stripers in the 7th. Man, he was fantastic for the Sounds last season and did quite well when called up for action with the Brewers. His change-up continues to be an absolutely filthy pitch.
