Tue. 7/29 - Gasser in Appleton for Areinamo-Less Rattlers; Road Series for Others

[Joseph Zarr]

And after that misplay, Hudson gives up a 1-2 double to the LF wall. 3-1 Sounds lead. Belt high heater in a 1-2 count? Not a fan.

[Joseph Zarr]

A ground out to 2B advances Candelario to 3B. A poke sac fly to LF scores him. 3-2 Sounds. Two down for Huddy.

Nice to see RHP KC Hunt with a very clean and efficient first frame! Two weak ground outs. And a K swinging. Noice. 2-0 Shuckers.

[Joseph Zarr]

Spain leads off the 2nd. Falls behind 0-2. Works it 2-2. Rips a triple to the right CF gap onto the warning track. Pitch was outside. He grabbed it none the less. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Shuckers get a gift. After a Vargas K looking, Lara hit a hard hit grounder right to 1B with the infield in. The throw was wide and off the catcher's mitt and they would have had Spain in a rundown. 3-0 Shuckers. Lara takes second when the ball went to the backstop.

[Joseph Zarr]

Hunt opens his 2nd with a 3 pitch K - swinging on a low change-up. That's consecutive punch outs. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Meanwhile, the Sounds all struck out in their top half of the 8th. All on high heaters out of the zone. Not a good look. RHP Elvis Peguero will look to fare better than Hudson. 3-2 Sounds.

[Joseph Zarr]

That's now three consecutive K's for Hunt. He gets a K swinging on an outside slider. Two down in his 2nd.

[Joseph Zarr]

Beautiful early work from Hunt. Three consecutive K and how about a weak first pitch pop out to the infield? Six up and six down. Shuckers still lead 3-0 and we are on to the 3rd.

[Joseph Zarr]

Peguero grabbed two ground outs to 2B to start his work. He then gave up a double to the Left CF gap. Runner holds at 2B. Man in scoring position now. Two down. That was a lefty. He will now face a righty hitting 0.200. Come on, Elvis. Let's shut this down.

[Joseph Zarr]

Nope. He does not. He gives up a grounder through the left side on a first pitch inside sinker at the knees. Cameron's throw airmails Alfaro. 3-3 game. Sigh. Man once again at 2B. Zimmerman's fantastic Quality Start is wasted. He will not figure into the decision after Hudson and Peguero's inability to pitch clean sheets. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Elvis is haning pitches. This is not a good look. He gets away with another hanger as it is fouled into the LF corner. Everything is currently low or hanging. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Murray is 2-for-2 with a single blooped into RF. He has two singles tonight. 

[Joseph Zarr]

In a 2-2 count, Peguero clips LaMahieu in the toe. Ugly ugly work from Hudson and Peguero tonight. Brewers brass can't feel good about these showings. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Thankfully, Peguero escapes with a K looking on the inner black with two men on. 3-3 and we head to the 9th. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Alfaro grabs his third knock ripping a hard hit grounder into RF. Runner aboard. One down. Top of 9. 3-3 game. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Delgado follows with a hard hit double into the RF corner. Alfaro has to stop at 3B. Go ahead and insurance run both in scoring position. It's up to Zamora. Only one down.

[Joseph Zarr]

Freddy rises up! 0-1 two-run single up the middle past the diving 2B (with infield in). 5-3 Sounds. Huge knock!

[Joseph Zarr]

Jheremy Vargas just hit a three-run two-out double baby. It's 6-0 Shuckers in the third inning. 

OH, also...

LHP Robert Gasser a 2.0, 4 K, 0 R outing tonight! Going to have to go back and watch that later.

[Joseph Zarr]

Zamora swipes 2B. Cameron hits an infield single deep into the SS hole. Men on the corners. Still one down. 5-3 Sounds.

Bobby Petrol update:

Sat 92-93. Touched 95 mph. Sweeper was filthy. He looked very VERY good. 

[Joseph Zarr]

AND Avans plates two himself with another single up the middle in nearly identical fashion as Zamora with the infield in. It's a 7-3 game. One down. Avans at first. Love it.

[Joseph Zarr]

That'll be it for the Sounds. Tyler Black fly out to LF. Dalbac swings and misses at three consecutive off-speed pitches for his 2nd K. Bobby loves that swing and miss as much as he loves to mash. 😜

[Joseph Zarr]

The Grand Adventure that is RHP Joel Payamps will take the ninth inning work. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Payamps gives up a hard hit oppo deep fly to the warning track in RF for out number one. That ball was tagged. Hangs an 0-1 slider for a single into RF. Hangs a pitch one slider. AND, Payamps has two aboard. The man loves to hang those pitches. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Sky High chopper and Dalbec expertly charges and barehands for the rocket put out. Huge out. Two down. Runners at 2nd and 3rd. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Payamps escapes. Sounds win 7-3. Big 'W' agains the International League second half leaders.
