Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Hoping you occasionally really immerse yourself in Greg Young, Jr.'s notes -- very informative. *** Box, Game One: Frederick 6, Carolina 4 Box, Game Two: Carolina 4, Frederick 1, nine innings (scheduled for seven) VIDEO Game One Highlights from the Frederick perspective: Watch two absolute dribblers spell trouble for Aaron Ashby and Mudcats. Ashby finished with a poor line, no doubt - but c'mon... *** Brice Turang was 0-for-6 in the twinbill but walked three times and scored four runs. The Mudcats have not posted a doubleheader summary (off to Wilmington, Delaware immediately after the second game). Until then, here are the brief Associated Press recaps: Jomar Reyes homered and had three hits, driving in two as the Frederick Keys topped the Carolina Mudcats 6-4 in the first game of a doubleheader on Friday. Carolina took the lead in the first when it scored three runs, including a double by Payton Henry that scored Tristen Lutz. Trailing 4-2, the Keys took the lead for good with three runs in the fourth inning. Reyes hit a solo home run en route to the one-run lead. The Keys tacked on another run in the fifth when Reyes hit an RBI single, scoring Trevor Craport. *** Eddie Silva hit a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to help lead the Carolina Mudcats to a 4-1 win over the Frederick Keys in the second game of a doubleheader on Friday. The home run by Silva scored Ryan Aguilar after he reached base on a walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch and then went to third on a ground out by Mario Feliciano. The home run came after Brice Turang scored on a groundout to give the Mudcats the lead earlier in the inning. Silva homered and singled, driving home two runs in the win. Anthony Bender (1-0) got the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief while Tyler Joyner (0-1) took the loss in the Carolina League game.

Box: DSL Diamoondbacks #2 Squad 4, DSL Brewers 1 All-Star rookie RHP Rafael Garcia exited after his first inning: DSL D-backs2 Top of the 1st Carlos Goris strikes out swinging. Alvin Guzman singles on a line drive to left fielder Rafael Martinez. Alvin Guzman steals (7) 2nd base. Wild pitch by pitcher Rafael Garcia. Alvin Guzman to 3rd. Luis Rubio out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Reidy Mercado. Alvin Guzman scores. Ramses Malave walks. Danyer Sanabria called out on strikes. The All-Star Game is tomorrow (Saturday the 13th), so his appearance here makes little sense, and hopefully he's not injured. *** Really nice six-inning outing by 22-year-old RHP Juan Gomez behind Garcia. Gomez missed all of 2017 (right elbow bursitis, as per the Brewers). Very little going on offensively, as you might gather by the final score. Super-young Venezuelan catcher (just turned 17, although he was the DH here for the very first time after 22 games behind the dish) Jhonnys Cabrera doubled as part of a two-hit effort and has his average up to .250 and his OPS to .692. Jump on the Jhonnys train folks, and enjoy the ride. The Brewers don't hand out starting catcher gigs to then-16-year-olds every year.

Box: DSL Brewers/Indians 4, DSL Red Sox #2 Squad 3 Two in a row, almost there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVrSZHnvYY 6'3" Venezuelan rookie RHP Edwin Jimenez has a 2.95 ERA over six outings despite 18 walks in 21.1 innings. This was his first non-start and he only walked two over four scoreless. The other hurlers in this win were Indian farmhands. None of the five Brewers in the lineup reached more than once, although rookie infielder (usually first baseman, as was the case here) Elian Gonzalez drove in two with a single and a sacrifice fly.

RHP Wilber Diaz, who was off-the-charts impressive statistically as a 17-year-old rookie DSL'er in 2018, was very ineffective in his first Maryvale Gold appearance back on June 18th (two hits, four walks in 1.1 innings) and hasn't pitched since. Bummer.

Box: DSL Brewers/Indians 4, DSL Red Sox #2 Squad 2 Much-needed morale booster... We can hope Bob Uecker will be around to call RHP Yostin Villalobos' MLB debut, just for the name fun. The 18-year-old Venezuelan rookie can pitch. Middle infielder Alberis Ferrer with three hits including a double. Here's the 8th inning rally that broke a 1-1 tie, Brewer names in bold.

Box, Regularly Scheduled Game: DSL Brewers 9, DSL Diamondbacks #2 Squad 5, seven innings Cerveceritos were down 4-0 after three innings, quite the rally. They win despite issuing ten walks including five from RH starter Wellington Nunez. This offense is more than passable as noted in CheeseheadInQC's comment above. The 5-6-7 spots with heavy damage here. 16-year-old 2B/3B Jesus Parra, who Toby was super-high on (I imagine still is) has found his 30-game introduction to pro ball a bit rough, but the .321 OBP works.

Box: Billings 6, Rocky Mountain 1 Alternative box includes inning-by-inning linescore Now a 9-16 record, only 3-9 at home, lost most recent four games. Not only did 21-year-old Dominican RHP Cristian Sierra strand three runners, he finished up with an additional three scoreless innings. 2019 is his first professional action after serving a PED suspension, but the Brewers had seen enough to have him bypass both the DSL and Maryvale. *** Mustangs Take Game Two From Vibes Thursday Night Micah Bello Homers in Tough Loss to Billings The Billings Mustangs came out on top for the second night in a row over the Rocky Mountain Vibes, winning the Thursday night contest 6-1. The Vibes' one run came via a Micah Bello solo homer in the bottom of the third inning, marking a team-best fifth home run in 2019. For the second night in a row, the Billings Mustangs scored first. Once again, they scored a sole run in the top of the second to go up 1-0, just as they did last night in game one of this series. In the top of the third, the Mustangs scored a sole run again to double their lead. In the bottom half of the frame, Bello got the Vibes on the board with a team-leading fifth home run with no one on to make it 2-1. After hitting his first four homers in the first six games of the season, including a two-homer, five-RBI performance on June 16 in Orem against the Owlz, Bello went 17 games before adding on home run number five. VIDEO Tweet: Bello's round-tripper and Bryan Torres' sweet play at third base The Mustangs scored a sole run for the third inning in a row in the top of the fourth to make it 3-1, re-extending their lead over Rocky Mountain to two runs. The fifth frame proved to be the first scoreless one since the first, with Billings going back to work in the top of the sixth. The Mustangs doubled their score with three more runs to go up 6-1 on the Vibes. Thursday night turned out to be a tough one for the home team, as they collected just one run on four hits with two errors on the night, dropping their second straight game to the Mustangs. *** Nice weekly honor for RHP Michele Vassalotti *** Vibes feel good after switch to short-season Rocky Mountain staff seeing positives in transition from Triple-A By Brian Stultz / MiLB.com *** Via Toby on Twitter on RHP Paxton Schultz (from a prior appearance)

Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes *** Box: Wisconsin 1, Dayton 0 All seven hits for the T-Rats singles, pitching and defense will need to carry the day quite often... Timber Rattlers Triumph 1-0 over Dragons Lazar, Jarvis, and Castaneda hold the line for eight-hit shutout By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** With seven K's and no walks in this game, just-turned 20-year-old RHP Max Lazar has a 69-to-9 K-to-BB in 44.2 IP. Remarkable. While not quite as gaudy stat-wise, 19-year-old RHP Justin Jarvis has a 1.16 WHIP in his 44 innings.

In the second half of the Southern League season, Williams has made six scoreless appearances for Biloxi."
