Via Chris Mehring: Two scoring changes after Sunday's game. The errors on Yadiel Rivera (8th & 9th) were changed to hits. Updated box score

This link includes the game summary from Huntsville staff. The video includes brief highlights, including Prince chasing down the triple to the wall, hard to tell if he tweaked something on the play. Also note that Hunter Morris was named the June Minor League Player of the Month in the organization.

At Brevard -- C Parker Berberet has been placed on the disabled list. C Brent Dean has been activated from the disabled list and is available for the Manatees Sunday.

I will say it's been a long time (if ever) since a trio of Helena high school picks looked so enticing at the top of the H-Crew lineup -- Taylor, Reed, and McFarland, that's pretty sweet!

Raptors win in dramatic fashion Roy Burton, Ogden Standard-Examiner staff OGDEN — The Raptors have been riding a roller coaster since the Fourth of July, when they started a three-game losing streak, followed it with four straight wins, then dropped two. Ogden kept up its wild ride Saturday night in an up-and-down contest against Helena at Lindquist Field, coming out on top on Jose Capellan’s walk-off double with one out in the bottom of the ninth for an 11-10 victory. With the game tied at 10-10 after Ogden rallied for the second time and Brewers reliever Michael White in the mound, Pat Stover hit the ball as far as it could go without leaving Lindquist Field for a double off the top of the wall in straightaway center field to extend his on-base streak to 14 games. Brewers manager Jeff Isom elected to intentionally walk Alex Santana to set up a double play opportunity, but what it really set up was Capellan’s game-winning double over the head of center fielder Tyrone Taylor. Stover trotted home easily and the Raptors, who had been 0-10 this season when trailing after the seventh inning, mobbed Capellan near second base. Down two runs in the eighth, the Raptors rallied for the second time in the game after falling behind by three runs in the third inning and four runs in the seventh. Santana scored on a Connor Whalen wild pitch behind the back of Eric Smith. Smith, was 3-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored, then looped a soft single over shortstop to bring in Capellan with the tying run. Devin Shines, who homered and drove in three runs in a 3-for-5 performance for Ogden. His double in the seventh began Ogden’s second comeback when the Raptors added two runs. Stover came up with the bases loaded with two outs in the inning and drove the ball hard into the right-center gap, but Michael Reed was able to track it down for the out. That only delayed the comeback for Ogden (16-10), which stands in first place in the South Division, three games ahead of Grand Junction with two weeks to go in the first half, Ogden Raptors reliever Sawil Gonzalez (2-0) struck out the Helena side in the top of the ninth to earn the win. White (1-2) took the loss for Helena (8-18), the last place team in the North Division. Brewers starter Will West sat down the Raptors lineup in order the first time through, not allowing a runner until leadoff hitter Jeremy Rathjen reached on an error in the fourth. Eric Smith followed with Ogden’s first hit, an RBI single. The Raptors did the rest of their damage in the fifth inning, stringing together five hits with two outs, capped by Shines’ high fly ball into the left field Tar Pit, his sixth homer, third in the Pioneer League. West was charged with six hits and six runs, five earned, in five innings. Ogden starter Matt Laney fell behind early on an RBI single by Adam Giacolone in the first. Laney threw two pitches and got two outs in the second inning, but the rest of the inning didn’t end so easily as Michael Turay doubled and Yonki Hernandez lined a homer over the left field wall. Laney, who was off the hook after the Raptors tied it with their five-run fifth, also allowed six hits and six runs, five earned, in five innings. Ogden and Helena play the second of four contests this afternoon at 4:00 PM (3:00 Central) at Lindquist Field.

Final: Arizona Rangers 7, Arizona Brewers 4 Box Score / Game Log Our Maryvale Link Reporter has informed me he'll be unavailable for this AM and another week. We really need the Arizona League to return to a daytime schedule next year. Thank goodness for the Manatees, othewise we might still be in High Desert. Clint Coulter added another passed ball and a throwing error to his collection. RF Jose Pena had the night off, which left a huge hole in the middle of the lineup, although 2B Jose Sermo did a nice job at cleanup as an unlikely selection there. Second conseutive rough outing for 10th round Texas high school LHP Anthony Banda, who got the start, his first professionally; RHP Jono Armold stranded two runners for Banda, and RHP Joel Dicent kept it close late. Only 90 degrees in the desert!

Brevard LHP Jed Bradley hasn't pitched since a stellar 7-inning outing on July 7th...

Huntsville Media Notes

Sounds, Isotopes Postponed On Saturday Night Doubleheader Scheduled For Sunday Evening NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tonight's scheduled doubleheader at Greer Stadium between the Nashville Sounds and Albuquerque Isotopes has been postponed due to unplayable field conditions due to heavy rains throughout Middle Tennessee. One game will be made up as part of a 5:05 p.m. doubleheader on Sunday evening, when the two teams will play a pair of seven-inning games. Gates open at 4:05 p.m. A second doubleheader consisting of two seven-inning games is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. on Sunday, July 29, when the Isotopes visit Music City for the final time this season. Tickets for tonight's doubleheader (July 14) may be exchanged at the Greer Stadium box office for a ticket of equal or lesser value, pending availability, to any remaining 2012 regular season Sounds home game. Sounds righty Wily Peralta (5-8, 5.10) will toe the rubber against Isotopes right-hander Will Savage (10-3, 5.34) in Sunday’s doubleheader opener. Nashville will send righty Claudio Vargas (3-1, 4.89) to start the twinbill finale against Albuquerque righty Blake Johnson (0-0, 6.39).

Helena Pre-Game Audio Interviews -- Roving Pitching Coordinator Lee Tunnell We gush plenty about Tunnell's knowledge base and work here... RHP Eric Semmelhack, the UW-Milwaukee product drafted in this year's 12th round

Audio from Nashville — “Sandy (Guerrero) Speaks” Jeff Hem's note -- Tonight’s interview is with former Sounds hitting coach Sandy Guerrero, who is in his first year as the minor league hitting coordinator for the Milwaukee Brewers. Sandy discusses his new role, his thoughts about the Sounds’ offense, his relationship with his brother and Sounds manager, Mike Guerrero, the challenges for Spanish-speaking players trying to assimilate to the United States, and his experiences with former Sound Prince Fielder in the recent Home Run Derby, which Fielder won for the second time.

AUDIO: Jeff Bianchi interviewed by Joe Block on the Brewer pre-game Saturday

As per the Stars -- The Brewers have released 25-year-old OF Scott Krieger (career stats), who had been on the Huntsville 7-day DL retroactive to June 28th. We won't know if there was an actual injury or whether it was a bit of a phantom DL "holding spot" in this instance. Krieger was a 19th round pick in 2009 out of George Mason. Beyond rookie ball, you'll notice from the year-by-year stat lines linked above that Krieger was getting playing time on a "4th outfielder" level.

Wisconsin Media Notes *** On a separate note, the Rattlers have been playing short all of July. INF Greg Hopkins left the June 30th game after being beaned and has been recovering from his concussion. No DL stint for him, however.
