Final: Montgomery 4, @Huntsville 2 Stars Drop 2nd Straight To Montgomery Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Huntsville, AL - The Montgomery Biscuits led wire to wire Wednesday night defeating the Huntsville Stars 4-2 at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville. The Biscuits scored early against Jed Bradley (1-3) who started for the Stars. In the top of the first inning, Ryan Brett led off with a double down the left field line. Jake Hager then laced an RBI double to the gap in left center scoring Brett. In the top of the second inning, Bradley retired the first two Biscuits before he walked Brett. That walk proved to be a costly one. Hager launched a two-run homer over the left field fence giving the Biscuits a 3-0 lead. Bradley, who suffered the loss, settled down and wound up pitching seven innings. He struck out a season high nine batters. The Stars scored their lone runs of the game in the sixth and seventh inning. In the sixth, Kentrail Davis scored on a throwing error by catcher Luke Maile. In the seventh, Nick Shaw produced an RBI single scoring D'Vontrey Richardson. Shaw's single cut the Montgomery lead to 3-2. The Biscuits scored their final run in the ninth. With the bases loaded, Tanner Poppe hit Richie Shaffer forcing in Brett making it 4-2. Matt Ramsey recorded his fifth save of the year for the Biscuits when he struck out Yadiel Rivera to end the game. Michael Colla (4-8) earned the win for the Biscuits. He pitched a scoreless fifth. Montgomery (5-2, 40-37) leads the series 2-0. Game three of the series will be Thursday night. The Stars (3-4, 49-28) will have RHP Drew Gagnon (4-2, 3.20) on the mound. Montgomery will turn to RHP Victor Mateo (8-4, 3.39). The game can be heard starting at 6:15 pm CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score Huntsville box scores without Shawn Zarraga and Mitch Haniger, not as fun... Here's all the offensive players to see time for the Stars this season. The club is 49-28, wonderful, but the talent/prospect excitement simply can't equate. Huntsville Game Log

Brevard County -- VIDEO: The second half is underway and the Manatees are in the FSL playoff hunt. Follow along, as they make a run at the North Division Crown

Final: @AZL Brewers 7, AZL Dodgers 6 The A-Crew moves to 4-1 with a walk-off win! AZL Brewers Bottom of the 9th Monte Harrison grounds out to first baseman Clint Freeman. Sthervin Matos homers (2) on a fly ball to left field. The 20-year-old Matos, a 4th-year pro, hit four HR's in 125 DSL at-bats in 2013. Maryvale Box Score Brewers led 6-2 before a four-run Dodgers' 7th tied things up. 20-year-old RHP Milton Gomez had a second consecutive five-inning start with no earned runs (one unearned run allowed five days prior, two on Wednesday). RHP Seth Harvey's Tommy John rehab continues well, and 21-year-old 24th round RHP Bubba Blau netted the win by retiring all seven batters he faced. Blau cleaned up the mess left behind by 20-year-old RHP Alex Lavandero, making his 2014 debut. Lavandero, a 9th round pick out of a Miami high school in 2012, is toiling in his 3rd consecutive Maryvale summer. 27th round Wake Forest catcher Matt Martin led the way offensively (double, single, HBP). Second baseman Daniel Leonardo also reached base three times (single, two walks). Carlos Belonis, playing LF, hit his first stateside home run, an inside-the-park job to right field. Matos doubled in addition to his game-winning bomb. Contributions from many so view the box, although RF Monte Harrison was 0-for-5 with two K's. SS Jake Gatewood was thrown out for the second time in his three stolen base attempts, while leadoff CF Troy Stokes is now 3-for-3 on the basepaths. Maryvale Game Log

Clarke’s 10th inning HR wins pitchers’ duel by Curt Synness, Helena Independent Record In a good, old-fashioned pitchers’ duel at Kindrick Legion Field on Wednesday, Great Falls center fielder Chevy Clarke gave the visiting Great Falls Voyagers a 3-2 win over the Helena Brewers with a solo home run in top of 10th inning. Great Falls improves to 7-3 on the young Pioneer League season, while Helena slips to 4-5. The Voyagers used four pitchers to four-hit the Brewers, with relievers Grant Monroe, Matt Cooper and Connor Walsh combining to no-hit the hosts over the final 5 2/3 innings. Starter Brandon Brennan went 4 1/3 frames, allowing four hits and two runs, one of which was unearned, with four strikeouts and one walk. Closer Connor Walsh worked the last two stanzas for the win, fanning three. Helena’s hurlers were almost as good, with middle reliever Luis Ortega twirling five innings of scoreless ball, giving up two hits and striking out three. Brewer starter Cy Sneed worked three frames, allowing a pair of scores, neither of which were earned, with three strikeouts. Junior Rincon spelled Ortega in the ninth and wound up taking the loss, allowing three hits and fanning four. His fast ball was clocked at 93 mph. Local manager Tony Diggs’ pitching staff did not issue a single walk on the evening. Helena got on the board first in the bottom of the second when Mitch Meyer walked and went to second on an errant pick-off attempt by Great Falls pitcher Brandon Brennan. Meyer then scored on back-to-back wild pitched by Brennan. The Voyagers went in front 2-0 in the top of the third on a Brewers' error, successive singles by Jackson Lawman and Jake Peter, and RBI ground-outs by Clarke and John Ziznewski. In their half of the inning, the Brewers' Brandon Diaz knotted the score at 2 with a one-out, solo home run over the center field fence. Next came six shutout innings by both teams' pitchers. In the top of fourth, Helena first baseman Dustin DeMuth performed one of the contest’s best web gems, diving to his right and stabbing Zach Stoner’s hot smash before flipping the ball to pitcher Ortega for the inning’s third out. With Great Falls runners on first and third and one down in the top of the fifth frame, the Brewers turned a 6-4-3 (Luis Aviles to Gregory Munoz to DeMuth) double play to get out of the inning. The home team nearly broke the tie in the bottom of the eighth, as Diaz advanced to third with two outs. But then Greg McCall grounded out to second to end the inning. Clarke, a 6-foot, 200-pound 22-year old from Atlanta finished the night 2 for 4 with the homer and two RBIs. DeMuth stroked a pair of singles for the Brewers. The two teams meet again today in the second tilt of the two-game series, with the first pitch slated for 7:05 PM (8:05 Central) at Kindrick Legion Field. *** You'll find a Helena photo gallery at the article link above, not all properly captioned, including identifying LHP Luis Ortega as RHP Jorge Ortega.

Formal text from Sounds Media Notes -- CRAVY PLACED ON DISABLED LIST: Right-hander Tyler Cravy has been placed on the Sounds’ disabled list today, two days after departing his Triple-A debut early due to injury. Cravy will head to the Brewers’ Arizona complex rather than return to Music City with the remainder of the Sounds. No counter move was made to fill the open spot on the Nashville roster. It's a left oblique injury for Cravy.

You heard it, now watch it! VIDEO: On Tuesday, Orlando Arcia had a career night. The SS went 5-for-5 with 5 RBI and finished a homer shy of the cycle.

Good detective work, but the actual details from the Voice of the Manatees Dave Walkovic (tweet) -- Chad Pierce gets the start tonight for the 'Tees instead of Tyler Wagner. Nothing wrong with Wags...he is just having his start skipped.

Tyrone Taylor feature from MiLB.com just posted in our Manatees' thread.

Taylor torching two-baggers Brewers No. 2 prospect flashing five-tool potential with Manatees By Guy Curtright / Special to MiLB.com The now long-running joke -- if you can really call it that -- began when Brevard County center fielder Tyrone Taylor recorded seven doubles in his first six games. Joe Ayrault asked Milwaukee's No. 2 prospect if he was Irish, at first drawing a puzzled look from the 20-year-old. "Yeah, man," the Manatees manager quipped. "You know, you keep doublin' all the time." Double. Dublin. Dublin, Ireland. Get it? Taylor finally did. "He still asks me if I'm Irish when I get to second base, and now I just shake my head yes," Taylor said. "It's kind of our inside joke," Ayrault said. The manager certainly has had plenty of opportunities to keep repeating it. Taylor was tied for the Minor League lead with 27 two-baggers through his first 70 games and was already closing in on the 33 he accumulated in his first full season last year while in the Class A Midwest League. The former high school football standout had a pair of two-baggers in Brevard County's opener, then three in the fourth game. He really hasn't slowed down much since. A few have been hustle doubles, the speedy Taylor running hard out of the box. "I always think extra bases," he said. Most, though, haven't required an extra burst of speed. "I've been lucky down the left-field line," the right-handed hitter said. "And, honestly, I try to go up the middle. But I think I've been able to keep them fair because I always try to stay inside the ball." The second-round pick in the 2012 Draft is considered a potential five-tool player, and he has shown flashes in all the categories, including becoming the first Brevard County player to ever hit for the cycle. "He definitely has the range and arm for center field," his manager said. "You want a young player to be a hitter first and then let the power come when he fills out and matures. He has a real chance to be the total package." Taylor's batting average was a modest .260, despite going 5-for-5 in his late-April cycle and having a recent four-hit game that included four RBIs. But he was the third-toughest batter in the Florida State League to strike out and had an on-base percentage of .317 to go with 45 runs scored and 37 RBIs. "I know I've had good games and bad, but I'm trying to stay consistent at the plate and keep the same approach every time," he said. Although Taylor was a standout running back and safety at Torrance High School near Los Angeles, baseball was always his true sport. His mother instilled in him the love of the diamond at an early age. "She was a softball player, and there are pictures of me wearing a batting helmet when I was really young," he said. "I think I was the bat boy." Taylor, though, definitely feels that his football background has been a help. "It toughened me up physically and mentally, and that helps with the grind of a long baseball season," he said. Taylor, who received a bonus of $750,000 to pass up a baseball scholarship to Cal State Fullerton, had stolen just seven bases despite his speed. "I know that's one area I need to improve on," he said. You can't steal second, though, when you have already hit your way there. "Reggie Williams, our first base coach, laughs that he doesn't get to spend much time with Tyrone," Ayrault said. "He always runs right by him." Tyrone Taylor leads the league with 27 doubles and is batting .260 with a .317 OBP.

VIDEO: Nashville's Caleb Gindl rips a run-scoring triple in a 5-1 Tuesday loss at Salt Lake

Figaro up, Fiers down, just to get a fresh arm to Miller Park today. Having remaining options is a fickle thing. If Will Smith doesn't give up the lead Tuesday night, Fiers doesn't throw four innings and he's still in the big leagues. "Fresh" is a relative term -- Figaro tossed two scoreless in Salt Lake City yesterday (Tuesday).
