Nashville rallied to take a 3-2 lead with a trio of doubles in the fourth against Grizzlies starter Kelvin Marte. Sean Halton and Hunter Morris led off the frame with consecutive two-baggers to knot the score, then Morris later scored when catcher Adam Weisenburger ripped a go-ahead double into the left field corner. The Sounds added another run in the fifth when Eugenio Velez singled and scored on Halton's two-out double off Marte.

Final: @AZL Brewers 14, AZL Cubs 3 Welcome back, Tyler Cravy -- AZL Cubs Top of the 1st Ho-young Son called out on strikes. Varonex Cuevas pops out to shortstop Jake Gatewood. Shamil Ubiera grounds out, third baseman Jorge Quiterio to first baseman Juan Ortiz. AZL Cubs Top of the 2nd Rubi Silva strikes out swinging. Ricardo Marcano strikes out swinging. Tyler Alamo strikes out swinging. AZL Cubs Top of the 3rd Tyler Pearson flies out to center fielder Carlos Belonis. Adonis Paula strikes out swinging. Dropped foul pop error by catcher Leudi Otano. Calvin Graves singles on a ground ball to second baseman Daniel Leonardo. Ho-young Son flies out to center fielder Carlos Belonis. Maryvale Box Score Just a humungous night for 18-year-old Maryland high school 4th rounder LF Troy Stokes, 4-for-5 with a triple, four RBI, and four runs scored - Stokes likely projects as a CF down the road. Catcher Leudi Otano contributed to Stokes' big night batting behind him (3-for-4 with a walk, a home run shy of a cycle). DH Elvis Rubio stayed in to run the bases, but did not return for his next at-bat after an HBP in the 4th. RF Monte Harrison and 1B Juan Ortiz had two singles apiece, with Harrison adding a walk and Ortiz a sacrifice fly. Ortiz, a soon-to-be 20-year-old LH bat, has had a solid season. Harrison (29-for-30) stole two more bases and leads the league by seven in that category. Maryvale Game Log RHP's Jordan Yamamoto and Caleb Smith followed up RHP Angel Ventura (3 IP, 3 R) with a combined three innings of scoreless relief.

It was interestingly unique, I'll say that... Chris did pack enough energy right until the end to be worthy of a contest with a four-game standings swing.

Final: @Mobile 5, Huntsville 1 Stars Offense Fizzles In Loss Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Mobile, AL - The Mobile BayBears leveled up their five-game series with the Huntsville Stars with a 5-1 victory Saturday night at Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile. The Stars offense was only able to scratch across five hits. The only run the Stars scored was a solo home run by pitcher Eric Marzec in the third inning. Marzec’s first home run of his professional career (14th at-bat) tied the game at 1-1. Mobile broke the 1-1 tie in the bottom of the fifth against Marzec (1-4). Tom Belza tripled down the right field line scoring Dallas Tarelton giving the BayBears a 2-1 lead. The BayBears broke the game open in the sixth. With the bases loaded, Gearson Montilla recorded an RBI fielder’s choice. Former Stars right fielder Mitch Haniger also scored on a wild pitch against Marzec extending Mobile’s lead to 4-1. Kevin Shackelford came in out of the Stars bullpen and allowed an RBI single to Tarelton. Marzec went 5.1 innings and allowed four runs on six hits. Braden Shipley (1-1), who allowed the homer to Marzec, picked up the win. Shipley worked five innings and allowed three hits. The Stars (29-33,75-57) and the BayBears (34-26,76-53) are tied at 1-1 in their series. The series resumes Sunday. Huntsville will have LHP Jed Bradley (5-7, 4.28) on the mound. Mobile will send RHP Aaron Blair (4-1, 2.04) to the hill. The game can be heard starting at 4:50 CDT on the internet only at wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Maybe the most non-descript Huntsville box score I've had to break down this season - feel free to review, there's nothing really of note, certainly not in a positive sense, anyway...

Chris explained on the Rattler Radio Blog tonight that this game is technically a four-game swing. It's 9:40 PM, they're headed to the bottom of the 10th in Peoria tied at 7-7. Listen here. If Peoria walks off the Rattlers again for the eleventy-millionth time in recent years tonight, we will not be happy campers (never mind Mr. Mehring).

Tyler Cravy sighting in Maryvale, last pitched on June 22nd (oblique).

Saturday's DSL Brewers game has been cancelled, so the team ends its 2014 season at 27-43, losing their last seven games. Standings - Finished 23.5 games back of the division-leading Tigers' squad (51-20). Team Stats: Batting Top 1/3 in the league in most hitting categories (11th of 36 clubs in OPS at .687), did not fare quite as well in drawing walks, avoiding strikeouts, or in stolen base percentage Pitching 34th of 36 teams in WHIP at 1.59, also 34th in ERA at 5.08; also allowed 108 unearned runs in 70 games, which is not out of the ordinary in this league. Didn't walk an obscene amount, but didn't fan enough, either Individual Stats There was one unquestioned breakout star, 17-year-old first-year pro, Venezuelan OF Joantgel Segovia, an unheralded signing last offseason. Segovia won the DSL batting title with a stunning .384 average. Segovia turns 18 in November. Amazingly, he only fanned 19 times in 224 AB's, walking more often than that (24). Only 10 of 86 hits went for extra bases (no HR's), and he was only successful in 6 of 14 stolen base attempts, although that rate improved as the season went on. At 6'1", 175, the right-handed bat should fill out into those tools, at least to some extent. The brightest light among the pitchers was arguably 19-year-old 3rd year pro Dominican LHP Joan De La Cruz, who in 12 starts, struck out 70 in 60.2 innings. But you'll notice there weren't a lot of stellar candidates among the arms. Thanks so much Link Reporter Brad, for all your DSL coverage this summer, please chime in with any Miller Park Prospects insights (you too, fellow readers, chime in here), and we'll move this and any subsequent DSL posts in this thread to the 2014 DSL thread later on.

The corresponding move, unfortunately, is RHP Ariel Pena to the DL with elbow pain - remember, he fared badly in his most recent start, 1.1 innings.

AUDIO: Jeff Hem discusses the Sounds, and in particular, the playoff picture, on Nashville Sports Talk Radio Sat. AM The hosts never bring up the topic of a new affiliation for the Sounds with Jeff, which I find odd. Hard to believe the Brewers have been with Nashville for ten years now, but the silence is sure deafening when it comes to yet another renewal.

Standings check -- Nashville trails the hated Redbirds by a game; the Manatees swept last night, but the two teams Brevard is chasing both won their games; and the Rattlers tenuous Wild Card lead is down to one game. Plenty to follow down the stretch.

Final: AZL Brewers 6, @AZL Cubs 5 Nice win! Five-run 7th erased a 4-1 deficit. Maryvale Box Score AZL Brewers Top of the 7th Pitching Change: Austyn Willis replaces Tanner Griggs. Jorge Quiterio walks. Daniel Leonardo hit by pitch. Jorge Quiterio to 2nd. Monte Harrison doubles (4) on a ground ball to left fielder Ricardo Marcano. Jorge Quiterio scores. Daniel Leonardo to 3rd. Jake Gatewood out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Kevonte Mitchell. Daniel Leonardo scores. Monte Harrison to 3rd. Carlos Belonis singles on a ground ball to third baseman Adonis Paula. Monte Harrison scores. Pitching Change: Pedro Araujo replaces Austyn Willis. Elvis Rubio homers (1) on a fly ball to left field. Carlos Belonis scores. Juan Ortiz walks. With Yunior Santana batting, Juan Ortiz caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Alberto Mineo to second baseman Ho-young Son. Yunior Santana strikes out swinging. Nice when a big rookie league inning is completely earned, no gift errors or wild pitch runs. Lineup spots three through nine were all originally DSL products -- most have really struggled this season, just thought it was worth noting. On the current roster, only five position players are US-born. Monte Harrison's solid if not spectacular season continues, and yes, 27-of-28 in stolen bases is impressive, even against rookie league batteries. Carlos Belonis singled three times in five trips. Brewers turned four double plays. Maryvale Game Log Recent high schooler and 6th round RHP David Burkhalter, RHP Joshua Torres, and LHP Tyler Alexander all pitched well enough for you to review their lines. 20-year-old Torres, the 3rd-year pro who went undrafted out of Puerto Rico, continues to impress. 30th round RHP Taylor Stark struggled, but it was his first appearance since July 28th, so welcome back.

The Dominican Summer League Brewers were rained out. Their season ends Saturday, and it's likely they will play two vs. the Braves' squad. 100% chance of rain, Saturday though -- Santo Domingo, DR

Final: @Huntsville 7, Mobile 6 Stars Edge Mobile Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Mobile, AL - The Huntsville Stars hit three home runs and just got past the Mobile BayBears 7-6 Friday night at Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile. Josh Prince and Hector Gimenez each homered in the Stars third inning against Mobile starter Bryan Woodall (0-4). Prince hit a three-run homer, his fifth home run of the season, which gave Huntsville a 3-0 lead. Gimenez later hit a two-run homer to right field extending the lead to 5-0. It was Gimenez's sixth home run of the season. Huntsville starter Drew Gagnon (10-6) struck out a career high eleven batters in his five innings of work. Gagnon allowed three hits and three runs. With the Stars leading 5-4 in the seventh, Nick Ramirez hit a clutch two-run homer against Alex Sogard putting the Stars ahead 7-4. It was Ramirez's 19th home run of the season. Ramirez now has 82 RBI on the season, which is a career high. The Stars had a 7-4 lead late in the game as Mobile kept chipping away at the deficit. Brandon Drury had a sacrifice fly against Tim Dillard in the seventh to cut the lead to 7-5. In the bottom of the eighth, Tom Belza stroked an RBI double against Stars closer David Goforth making it 7-6. Goforth, who retired the BayBears 1-2-3 in the ninth, notched his Southern League best 27th save of the season. The Stars (29-32,75-56) lead the BayBears (33-26,75-53) 1-0 in their series. The series resumes Saturday. Huntsville will have RHP Eric Marzec (1-3, 3.07) on the mound. Mobile will send RHP Braden Shipley (0-1, 3.60) to the hill. The game can be heard starting at 6:50 CDT on the internet only at wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Fun game, no? Drew Gagnon and Tim Dillard each hit Mitch Haniger with pitches. Gagnon's 11 K's in his 26th start of the season easily bettered his May 22nd high of eight. Every position player, including the two pinch hitters (except for starting catcher Shawn Zarraga), contributed, so a fun box score to review, enjoy. Ten hits, six for extra bases, along with eight walks, certainly makes that review worthwhile. Huntsville Game Log
