Wow Melvin Hernandez with two stellar outings in a row. 7 IP! 4K, 0 BB.
Mudcats with 13 hits in offense and all starters getting hits except Anderson (but only 1K for him so that’s still growth right?)
Shuckers bats go pretty quiet. 6 hits for the night total. Only 3 Shuckers reach base twice (Murray 2 walks, Spain 2 hits and Pratt walk+hit). Cornielle delivers what looks like a night that encapsulates his season, 5 IP but 86 pitches to get there, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3K, so a good night but not excellent nor was it bad. Very Alexander Cornielle, which is not a knock, he is what he is and I still see a very reliable pitcher and the most likely DSL pitcher to contribute to the MLB in the near future.
Sounds win again. Zimmerman with maybe one of his best starts as a Sound, and the offense mostly driven by Dunn, Dalbec and Vaughn who all HR’d.
TRats are really quiet offensively - only 3 hits thru 8. Down 2-0 so the pitching was good, but just 3 measly hits, no XBH and 3 walks to 9 K. Yikes. Trying to keep it 2-0 in the 9th and hope for some offensive awakening in the 9th maybe please? It will be Areinamo, Dinges and Burke up if Langhorne can help,keep it 2–0.
