VIDEO: Brock Kjeldgaard's 2nd HR of the night for Huntsville

Be sure you see this on 2012 Maryvale LHP Anthony Banda. We'll be starting our "2013" Helena / Maryvale thread soon enough...

Nashville Sports Talk Radio Interview with Sounds GM Brad Tammen From a Brewers fan perspective, just the first couple minutes of note, discussing why last night was the Sounds' toughest travel night/day of the season, and perhaps a hint as to why they lost again Friday (not that Frankie De la Cruz is ever going to be effective). Generic "hoping for the best" stadium nothingness towards the end; if there's anything up anyone's sleeve in Nashville, it's a wonderfully kept secret...

One heck of an interview piece from Brad's site and nice job, Anthony Banda, the 2012 10th round LHP, still just 19 years old Brewers Media Guide says it's pronounced "Bonda", by the way...

Manatees Audio Game Highlights *** Brevard County Pre-Game Audio Interview with RHP Chad Pierce

'Tees rally to top Threshers in seesaw battle Brevard scores three in the seventh, holds on to win 5-4 By Andy Towne / Brevard County Manatees VIERA, Fla. - Another long night for the Brevard County Manatees' bullpen was backed up by timely offense in a 5-4 victory over the Clearwater Threshers on Friday night at Space Coast Stadium. Starting pitcher Drew Gagnon was forced to leave the game after being hit by a line drive as he used his right forearm to protect his head. Gagnon was able to pick the ball up and toss it to first for the out and then struck out the final batter of the inning, but did not return for the third. Preliminary tests came up negative for fractures, though X-rays will be taken. He went just two innings and allowed two hits, while recording one strikeout. Nick Ramirez picked the 'Tees (26-21) up in the bottom of the inning after Gagnon's injury as he led off with his team-high eighth homer of the year. Ben McMahan followed him with a single and then a pair of walks loaded the bases with nobody out. Lance Roenicke then grounded into a double play to plate McMahan to make it a 2-0 lead. Clearwater (23-24) scored one run in both the fifth and sixth innings, with extra-base hits leading off each inning, to tie the game up. Logan Moore's second home run of the season off of Stephen Peterson cut the deficit in half in the fifth and then Maikel Franco opened the sixth with a double off of Tyler Cravy and later scored on Cameron Perkins' single up the middle. Yet another run in the seventh off of Cravy gave the Threshers their first lead of the night, with Moore taking a leadoff walk and stealing a base before Aaron Altherr knocked an RBI single to center. Three runs in the bottom half of that frame put Brevard County up for good, with all three runs coming with two outs. Brandon Macias started the rally with his second long ball of the year, a solo shot to tie the game. Behind him, Greg Hopkins singled and moved to second on a throwing error as he would have been picked off the base paths. Hopkins was 3-for-4 on the night with two doubles. Mitch Haniger's double sent him across the plate and then Haniger would score on a Cameron Garfield single to give the Manatees a 5-3 lead. In the top of the eighth, Clearwater used back-to-back two-out hits off of Tommy Toledo to Brevard's lead to 5-4, with Chris Serritella smacking a double and then scoring on Jonathan Roof's bloop single to right field. Toledo though would set the Threshers down in order in the ninth to earn his fifth save of the season and his first save of more than three outs this season. The win for the Manatees, coupled with Dunedin's loss to Tampa, moves Brevard County just one game back of the Blue Jays for first place in the Florida State League North Division. Game two of the series is set for 6:35 PM on Saturday (5:35 Central), with Brevard's David Goforth (4-4, 2.79) looking for his fourth straight win. He will be opposed by left-hander Mario Hollands (2-0, 2.45) for the Threshers. Manatees first baseman Nick Ramirez, seen here in a game from earlier this season, hit his team-high eighth home run of the season as Brevard County defeated the Clearwater Threshers, 5-4 on Friday night at Space Coast Stadium in Viera.

Enjoy this one, then - watch how far Morris sends this bomb from the final game of the road trip Thursday

Fun audio clips from Alex in that last post. Only one pitch from Jimmy Nelson in this video clip from Thursday, but great movement

Homer Parade Leads Stars To Victory By Alex Cohen / Huntsville Stars After being shutout on Thursday, the Huntsville Stars hit three homers en route to a 6-2 victory against the Tennessee Smokies. For the Stars the homer parade began in the second inning, as Rene Tosoni launched a fastball from Smokies starter Yeiper Castillo well over the right-field wall to put Huntsville up 1-0 (audio). After Stars starting pitcher Ariel Pena gave up a solo homer of his own to Smokies outfielder Rubi Silva, the game remained tied until the seventh inning where Tennessee reliever Trey McNutt (L, 2-4) came into the game to relieve Castillo. To begin the inning, Stars outfielder Kentrail Davis drew a leadoff walk off McNutt. After Davis stole second and then advanced to third on a groundout from Tosoni, outfielder Brock Kjeldgaard launched a two-run homer off the Smokies Park scoreboard in deep left field put the Huntsville up by two (audio). Once the Stars tacked on an insurance run in the eighth, Kjeldgaard was then put in position to strike again in the top of the ninth. With Tosoni aboard, the 27-year-old crushed his second two-run homer in as many at-bats off of Smokies righty Tony Zych to make the score 6-1 (audio). The multi-homer game was the second for Kjeldgaard of the season. He and first baseman Jason Rogers have both done it twice in 2013. On the pitching side, Pena improved to 4-3 on the year with the win after giving up just one run and four hits through six innings. The Brewers 20th ranked prospect per MLB.com struck out six batters in the process and dropped his ERA on the year to 2.77. Pena has now given up just three earned runs in his last 26.2 innings pitched (five starts). Aside from the 23-year-old hurler, relievers Dan Meadows and Greg Holle each pitched a scoreless inning of relief while lefty Brian Garman gave up a meaningless run in the ninth. On offense, the three homers on the game for the Stars offense ties a season-high for them as a team this season. Also, the victory gives Huntsville just their second win against Tennessee in seven games played this season. The Stars and Smokies will play game three of their five-game series at Smokies Park on Saturday. Huntsville will send RHP Taylor Jungmann (3-5, 5.06 ERA) to the bump to square off against Tennessee RHP Alberto Cabrera (4-1, 3.69 ERA). First pitch is at 6:15 PM (5:15 Central).

Have a magnificent 22nd birthday, Damien Magnifico

If you've been following us all week, you may have a nice educated guess as to who landed on the #2 spot on Baseball America's Prospect Hot Sheet today.

Good luck in big league debut tonight to Blue Jays LHP Sean Nolin (career numbers), drafted by the Brewers in the 50th round out of HS in '08 (did not sign).
