Nashville Pre-game media notes

Nashville and Louisville were postponed on Tuesday and will be replayed as part of a doubleheader on Thursday this week.

Biloxi Pre-game media notes

Columbus (Braves) 7, Biloxi 4

Box Score

As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Miller and O’Rae Tally 3-Hit Nights in Shuckers 7-4 Loss to Clingstones

Biloxi dropped a tough one to Columbus on Tuesday night, falling 7-4 for the Shuckers' sixth consecutive loss. The Shuckers had a late lead and some offensive bright spots from Darrien Miller and Dylan O'Rae, but a late charge by Columbus was too much for Biloxi to overcome.

Tyson Hardin provided a solid outing striking out six over five innings and allowing just two runs. After falling behind 1-0 in the first Hardin kept his team in the game with his performance, before exiting after the fifth.

That’s when the Biloxi offense would finally breakthrough with a two run single from Mike Boeve, courtesy of the Biloxi X account:

The Shuckers later took the lead on a Dasan Brown steal attempt and a blooper reel from the Columbus defense:

in the top of the 8^th, Columbus rallied and took the lead, but in the bottom of the 8^th, Darrien Miller tied the score with this blast:

Miller collected three hits on the night including that home run. He is currently sporting a massive 1.217 OPS.

Columbus responded in the ninth with a three run rally off of Sam Garcia, and then shut the Shuckers down to seal the win.

Other notes:

• Dylan O’Rae continues to be a table-setter, finishing 3-for-4 with a walk. He raised his season average to .311.
• Top prospect Jesus Made grounded into two double plays and narrowly avoided a third by legging out ground ball fielder’s choice. Made is 6 for 41 (.146 average) since April 24.
• Tanner Gillis struck out three in two perfect innings of relief after Hardin left the game.
• The Shuckers were a perfect 5/5 on the base paths.

Biloxi will look to snap their losing streak on Wednesday with RHP Jaron DeBerry (2-2, 5.12 ERA) on the hill.

Wisconsin pre-game media notes

Peoria (Cardinals) 5, Wisconsin 3

Peoria Pounces in Fourth Inning and Pulls Away from Wisconsin

Box Score

The Timber Rattlers (15-11) fell short against Peoria on Tuesday morning, dropping a 5-3 decision at Dozer Park despite an early lead and some late-inning pressure.

Wisconsin jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the second inning thanks to a solo home run by Josh Adamczewski, his sixth of the season. It was the fifth home run by Adamczewski against Peoria this season, which you can view below, courtesy of the Wisconsin X account:

The Chiefs' offense came alive in the middle frames, scoring three in the fourth and adding insurance runs in the fifth and sixth. Starter Chandler Welch (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season, yielding three earned runs over four innings. 

The Timber Rattlers slithered back with runs in the fifth and seventh inning.  The highlights were a Tayden Hall RBI double and a Braylon Payne single with some wonky defense.  However, the comeback effort was stifled by a dominant Peoria pitching staff that racked up 16 strikeouts on the day.

Josiah Ragsdale, who we highlighted in in a post earlier on Tuesday, went one for three, with a walk, and two stolen bases. We’ll hold our breath as we await word on why Marco Dinges left the game early, as noted by Jim in the minors forum.

Looking ahead to Wednesday,  LHP Wande Torres (1-1, 5.82 ERA) will look to get the Rattlers back on track.

 Wilson pre-game media notes

Fayetteville (Astros) 6, Wilson 0

Box Score

After an exciting homestand last week, the Warbirds offense crashed back to earth on Tuesday in their shutout loss at Fayetteville. The offense managed just two singles by Luis Lameda and Juan Ortuno, while striking out 10 times.

Starter Jarrette Bonet allowed season-highs with three homeruns and five earned runs in his 4.1 innings of work. Tanner Perry relieved Bonet and struck out six in 3.2 innings. The only blemish on the ledger for Perry was a solo home run.

The Warbirds will look to shake this one off quickly and get back on track Wednesday morning when RHP Carlos Carra (0-5, 11.74 ERA) will take the mound.

ACL Dodgers 7, ACL Brewers 3 F/8 Innings

Box Score

The ACL Dodgers handed the ACL Brewers their first loss of the Complex League season, with a final score of 7–3 on Tuesday night. Starting on the mound for the Brewers’ was 2024 13^th round pick Joey Broughton in his professional debut. Broughton had missed all of 2025 after undergoing Tommy John in July of 2024. I dug up this profile on Broughton as well as this rundown on his repertoire for those of you who (like me) may be unfamiliar with the 20 year old lefty.

It was a bit of a shaky outing for Broughton (2.1IP 2H 1R 1ER 3BB 2K 2WP), but hopefully smoother sailing ahead now that the debut is out of the way.

Offensively, catcher Jonathan Rangel provided the biggest offensive spark for the Brewers, going two for three with a two-run home run in the 7th inning that tied the game.

2B CJ Hughes, an 11^th round pick last year, has been off to a hot start in his first three professional games. Hughes didn't record a hit, but he drew two walks, scored a run, and stole his 3rd base of the season.

Juan Martinez, one of the standout hitters in the Brewers DSL squads last year, was one base twice and stole a bag as well.

Joan Pena put on a dominant display pitching out of the bullpen. Making his stateside debut, he threw 3.1 innings, allowing zero earned runs and striking out six batters.
