Final: Huntsville 6, @Pensacola 2 Stars Win Rubber Match Over Pensacola Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Pensacola, FL - The Huntsville Stars won the rubber match of their five game series with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Monday night with a 6-2 win at Bayfront Stadium.

Nick Shaw hit a sharp RBI single to right field scoring Shea Vucinich. The Stars extended their lead in the seventh inning with a pair of runs.

Davis contributed the final run for the Stars in the eighth on his RBI single which scored D'Vontrey Richardson. Andy Moye improved to 3-0 as he pitched five scoreless innings for the Stars. He allowed three hits. He walked four and struck out four. Pensacola scored their lone runs in the eighth against RHP Tim Dillard. Ross Perez grounded out to second base scoring Brodie Greene. Travis Mattair also brought in a run on an infield single. The Stars (3-2, 49-26) took three out of five from the Blue Wahoos (2-3, 33-42) in the first series in the second half of the season. The Stars travel back to Huntsville to begin a series Tuesday night with the Montgomery Biscuits, the Double-A Affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Tuesday's game can be heard starting at 6:15 pm CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score This was the AA debut for prized Cincinnati RHP prospect Ben Lively, the 22-year-old Pensacola native. Here's the Pensacola News-Journal's game report. But the Stars were happy to ruin the debut. RF Kentrail Davis reached base in all five plate appearances to lift his OBP to .354. SS Nick Shaw (OBP .378) reached base thrice, and 3B Jason Rogers added a sacrifice fly to his mentioned-above base knock to drive in three runs on the night. Yes, at .344, Huntsville leads the league in team OBP, that's been their game all season. Huntsville Game Log RHP Greg Holle enjoyed his return to Huntsville, his Stars' season debut was a perfect inning.

Final: AZL Brewers 9, @AZL Indians 1 Maryvale Box Score 21-year-old RHP Angel Ventura made his stateside debut after three DSL seasons, and his start was impressive, just as his peripherals were last year when things seemed to click for him on the island. Then it was a matter of trotting out three college hurlers for their professional debuts, with only one run allowed amongst them over the final four frames -- 15th round RHP Caleb Smith of Rice (one HR allowed in 2 IP), 33rd round LHP Chad Reeves of LSU-Eunice, and 30th round RHP Taylor Stark of Delta State, so congrats to those gentlemen as we alwyas like to note the pro debuts here. Seven different Maryvale bats each had one hit apiece, although the game's offensive star was CF Monte Harrison who was plunked twice (ouch), stole a base, and scored three runs. He also did this -- AZL Brewers Top of the 1st Troy Stokes grounds out, second baseman Alexis Pantoja to first baseman Emmanuel Tapia. Jake Gatewood grounds out, pitcher Leandro Linares to first baseman Emmanuel Tapia. Monte Harrison homers (1) on a fly ball to center field. Sthervin Matos walks. Juan Ortiz grounds out, second baseman Alexis Pantoja to first baseman Emmanuel Tapia. Maryvale Game Log Just your typical seven-run Arizona League inning here, as three errors aided the Brewers cause -- AZL Brewers Top of the 5th Jonathan Oquendo flies out to center fielder Silento Sayles. Milan Post doubles (2) on a fly ball to center fielder Silento Sayles. Jorge Quiterio reaches on a missed catch error by first baseman Emmanuel Tapia, assist to shortstop Willi Castro.

Via the Nashville Media Notes -- "HECKATHORN ACTIVATED; FALU TO T.I.L.: Pitcher Kyle Heckathorn was added to the Sounds active roster today, after missing seven games on the disabled list. He will fill the spot left by infielder Irving Falu, who has been placed on the temporary inactive list (retro to June 21) to attend a family funeral."

Huntsville Notes from Steve: On Sunday, the Stars lost just their second game of the season when taking a lead into the 9th inning. The Stars took a 3-1 lead into the 9th yesterday and they also took a 5-4 lead into the 7th of a 7 inning game on June 8th against Mobile and ended up losing 6-5. The Stars are 35-2 when leading after 8 innings. It was the first time the Stars had been beaten on a walkoff hit… The Stars fell to 5-6 in extra-inning games this season. The 11 extra-inning games played by the Stars are the most in the Southern League. Pensacola improved to 3-2 in extra-inning games…The Stars are now 13-8 in 1-run games played, which is the second best 1-run record in the Southern League. Only Jacksonville at 15-7 has a better record in games decided by one run. Pensacola played their 29th 1-run game of the season which is the most in the Southern League. Pensacola has the 2nd worst record in 1-run games at 12-17… Joey Paciorek and Greg Hopkins hit back to back home runs in the 2nd inning. It was the second time in the series that the Stars hit back to back home runs. On Friday, Nick Ramirez hit a grand slam in the 8th inning which was followed by a Jason Rogers home run. The Stars have now hit 12 home runs in their last nine games… Rogers went 0-4 with 3 strikeouts. It was his 5th game this year that he struck out three times in a game. In his last seven games, Rogers is still 11-26 (.423, 2 hr, 6 rbi)…Shea Vucinich has started each of the last two games going 3-8. He has a mini 3 game hitting streak and his hit safely in 5 out of his last 6 games. Vucinich in his last 20 games has raised his batting average from .081 from May 16th to .202 going into today’s game. In 13 games in June, Vucinich is batting .333 with 2 RBI... Shawn Zarraga pinch hit in the 11th inning and was intentionally walked. He did not have an official at bat so his hitting streak is still at 5 games. He also has at least one RBI in 5 straight games as a starter. He has hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games. In his last 12 games, Zarraga is batting .594 (19-32) with 10 RBI…Josh Prince was used as a pinch runner and did not get an at bat. On Saturday, he went 1-3 snapping an 0 for 17 skid. In his last 11 games though, Prince is now just 2 for his last 32 at the plate. Prince is batting just .106 (5-47) in June after he hit .319 in May… Hainley Statia went 1-4 with an rbi. Since returning to the Stars from AAA Nashville on June 5th, Statia is batting .313 with 1 HR and 8 RBI in 11 games. He was hitting .276 at the time he was promoted to AAA Nashville back in April… Since the Stars clinched the 1st half championship they’ve gone 9-7…In the month of June alone, the Stars are 9-9. The Stars have the 2nd highest team ERA in June of any team in the league at 4.67.

Miller Park Prospects - Minor League Mailbag: 6/23/14

The Manatees just announced that RHP Greg Holle has been bumped up to Huntsville, where he spent the vast majority of his 2013 season.

They extend the deadline yet again (which is a sign the name they don't want to win is in the lead ) Vote here.

Quick twitter thought from me -- High-A Brevard SS/2B Orlando Arcia is younger than all but four rookie-level Helena Brewers even though he lost all of 2012 to ankle surgery.

I always take note when the Brewers jump a level with a prospect. Consider me officially intrigued by 20-year-old 2B Gregory Munoz, now with Helena. The Dominican native is basically Scooter Gennett at this point in his career. He's 5'9", 160, a LH bat, and after just one DSL season, he's handed the everyday starting job in Montana, skipping Maryvale, has hit safely in all six games thus far, and is 5-for-5 in SB attempts. He posted a .292/.376/.362 line last year. Munoz split last season between shortstop and second base, as seen in his Baseball Reference page, so maybe he'll be able to slide over to short when needed, even if it's determined he's primarily a seoncd baseman. *** And I'll think I'll just post "Segovia!" as a single-word post every so often. The 17-year-old Venezuelan OF won't even turn 18 until November, has a base hit (usually multiple) in all ten of his DSL games thus far. If you haven't noticed this yet, take a peek at that link.
