Final: Colorado Springs 11, New Orleans 8 SKY SOX SCORE NINE LATE RUNS TO TAKE SERIES LEAD NEW ORLEANS, LA – The Sky Sox rallied late on Saturday night to score nine runs in the final three innings of play to take an 11-8 victory over New Orleans and a 2-1 series lead over the Baby Cakes. For the third time this series, the Sky Sox were the first to score Saturday night, putting up the first run of the game in the second inning. After drawing naught but a walk in the first inning, the Sky Sox collected a pair of hits in the second frame. Jett Bandy first hit a one-out single, scoring one batter later on a Shane Opitz RBI double to give Colorado Springs the first lead of the evening. New Orleans took their first lead of the evening in the bottom of the fourth, and would not relinquish it again until the eighth inning. Eric Campbell led off the fourth with a walk, advancing to second on a Jonathan Rodriguez single. Two outs later, both runners moved up on a wild pitch from Colorado Springs' starter Bubba Derby. Austin Nola then drew a walk to load the bases, and with two outs on the board Peter Mooney hit a bases-clearing double to give the Baby Cakes a 3-1 lead. In the top of the fifth inning, Brett Phillips reduced the Cakes lead to just one run when he lined his second solo homer in as many nights to make it a 3-2 ballgame. The last Sky Sox batter to hit home runs in consecutive games was Tyrone Taylor on July 3rd and 4th against the Round Rock Express on the 3rd and the Baby Cakes on the 4th. Taylor hit a two-out single after Phillips' home run, but then was thrown out trying to steal second to end the top half of the fifth and send it to the bottom. The Baby Cakes led off with a pair of hits in the bottom half of the fifth. Austin Dean hit a double off the center field wall, and Magneuris Sierra laid down a bunt single to put runners on the corners. Campbell then drew a walk, with another wild pitch from Derby on ball four allowing Dean to score to make it a 4-2 ballgame. Derby was then replaced on the mound by Miguel Sanchez, who was making his Triple-A debut. Sanchez recorded a strikeout and a fly out, but then threw a wild pitch that allowed the speedy Sierra to score to make it a 5-2 game. In the top of the seventh, with one out in the inning, Jake Hager reached on New Orleans' first error of the evening. Dylan Moore then came into the game to pinch-hit in Sanchez's spot, reaching on a fielder's choice that saw both him and Hager safe. Phillips then flew out to move Hager up to third, and Orlando Arcia walked to load the bases. Taylor then hit a single to score both Hager and Moore to make it 5-4. Domingo Santana then drew a walk, but Christian Bethancourt struck out swinging to end the inning and the rally. In the top of the next inning, with two outs already on the board, Hager hit his first AAA home run of the season and 11th overall to tie the game at 5-5. Moore and Phillips then drew back-to-back walks, before Arcia hit an RBI single to plate Moore and retake the lead for Colorado Springs. Quintin Berry then came into the game to pinch-hit, hitting a double to clear the bases and extend the Sky Sox lead to 8-5. The home squad responded right away in the bottom of the eighth. Isaac Galloway led off with a walk, with Campbell being hit-by-pitch to put two on. Rodriguez then reached on the Sky Sox first error of the night to load the bases for J.B. Shuck, who grounded into a force out that saw Rodriguez out at second and Galloway safe at home to make it 8-6. Rafael Ortega then walked to load the bases again for Nola, who singled to score Campbell and Shuck to tie the game at 8-8. On the very first pitch of the ninth inning, Bethancourt hit his 13th homer of the season to retake the lead for Colorado Springs. Opitz and Hager then hit back-to-back singles, with Moore grounding out for the second out of the inning to advance both runners into scoring position. Phillips then hit an RBI double in the gap to score both and make it 11-8 Sky Sox. Arcia was then intentionally walked to bring up the pitcher's spot in the lineup, with Andres Blanco stepping in to pinch-hit with two out and two on. Blanco flew out, however, to end the half-inning and send it to the bottom of the ninth with the Baby Cakes trailing by three. The Baby Cakes would go three up and three down to end the game in the bottom of the ninth, with the Sky Sox taking a 2-1 series advantage over New Orleans with the Saturday night win. Sunday's Preview: In the final game of this four-game series against the Baby Cakes in New Orleans, the Sky Sox are sending a yet-to-be-announced pitcher to the mound to face off against New Orleans' righty Odrisamer Despaigne, who is searching for his third win of the season. Roster Moves: With Miguel Sanchez making his Triple-A debut with the Sky Sox in the fifth inning Saturday night (even though he was called up earlier this season but did not make an appearance), Sanchez became the 54th player to play for the Sky Sox this season (27 position players, 27 pitchers). Here's the breakdown of players used each season during the Brewers affiliation (since 2015): 2015 - 22 position players, 30 pitchers (52 total) 2016 - 27 position players, 30 pitchers (57 total) 2017 - 24 position players, 31 pitchers (55 total during regular season) [27 position players, 32 pitchers (4 additional in 2017 postseason, 59 grand total)] 2018 - Through 7/14 - 27 position players, 27 pitchers (54 total). The most Sky Sox players that appeared in a game in one season happened during the 2005 season (during Colorado Rockies affiliation), when 67 players were used that season (34 position players, 33 pitchers). There were four additional position players that were called up to the Sky Sox that 2005 season. However, those four players did not appear in a game.) In comparison, the fewest players used in a season for the Sky Sox was only 41 players used, done twice (during Rockies affiliation). In 1994, only 21 position players and 20 pitchers were used, and in 1998, only 20 position players and 21 pitchers were used. In 1992, during Cleveland Indians affiliation, there were only 40 players used in the regular season (22 position players, 18 pitchers), with three additional players used in the postseason, raising the total to 43 grand total (24 position players, 19 pitchers). Walk This Way: here were 17 total walks in Saturday night's contest between the Baby Cakes and the Sky Sox, with the Sky Sox issuing 10 and the Baby Cakes allowing seven free passes. The last time the Sky Sox issued at least 10 walks in a game and still won the game took place last year on May 16th, 2017 in El Paso, when the Sky Sox issued 11 walks and still beat the Chihuahuas, 15-11. *** Box Score / Game Log In ten July games, Tyrone Taylor's OPS is 1.221, plus he was 8-for-19 with four XBH's in the last five games of June. Ridiculous. Tim Dillard scoreless with drama -- New Orleans Bottom of the 7th Pitching Change: Tim Dillard replaces Miguel Sanchez, batting 3rd, replacing left fielder Tyrone Taylor.

The Shuckers' game story hasn't posted online yet, but we have it for you here: EARLY RUNS TOO MUCH FOR SHUCKERS IN JACKSONVILLE Gatewood Launches 16th Homer In Loss Garrett Greene, Biloxi Shuckers JACKSONVILLE, FL – Seven runs in the first four innings by the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (38-53, 10-13) was too much for the Biloxi Shuckers (52-40, 11-11) to overcome in a 7-4 defeat on Saturday night at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. Jake Gatewood connected for his 16th homer of the season in the game, tying him with Corey Ray for the Southern League lead. Former Brewers farmhand Isan Diaz put the Jumbo Shrimp on the board in the first with a two-run homer to right, his tenth of the season and third in as many days, giving Jacksonville a 2-0 lead. Brian Schales doubled in a run in the second off RHP Marcos Diplan (L, 0-1) before a sacrifice fly plated another run for the Jumbo Shrimp, extending their lead to 4-0. Diplan helped his own cause in the top of the fourth. Lucas Erceg started the frame with a single and stole second before Trent Grisham sent Erceg home with a single down the right field line. Max McDowell reached on a fielding error by Joe Dunand, bringing up Diplan. In just his fourth professional plate appearance, the righty shot a frozen rope over the head of the left fielder Lee, driving in both runners with a double, his first professional hit. Jacksonville chased the Shuckers starter with a pair of walks and two singles in the bottom of the fourth. Facing RHP Cody Ponce, Diaz bounced a single inside of the bag at first, scoring two more to widen the Jumbo Shrimp lead back to four runs at 7-3. Gatewood scored the final run of the game for the Shuckers with his opposite field homer in the top of the fifth off RHP Jordan Yamamoto (W, 1-0). It was Gatewood’s second straight game with a homer. RHP Kolton Mahoney (H, 3), an unsigned Brewers draft pick (23rd round, 2014), tossed three innings of relief for the Jumbo Shrimp, not allowing a run on three hits, and LHP Dylan Lee locked down his third save, striking out three while giving up a single in the ninth. Game four of the Shuckers five-game series in Jacksonville gets going on Sunday afternoon at 2:05 PM CT. All-Star RHP Zack Brown (8-0, 2.47) gets the start for Biloxi against Jumbo Shrimp RHP Robert Dugger (2-2, 5.65).

Final: New Orleans 4, Colorado Springs 3 BABY CAKES TAKE GAME TWO IN LOW-SCORING HOME RUN DERBY COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Sky Sox dropped game two to the Baby Cakes Friday night 4-3 to even the series at one game apiece. Though both teams hit two home runs, all four were solo shots, as the two squads combined to go 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position. Just as was the case last night, the first two innings of Friday night's contest were scoreless, followed by the Sky Sox scoring first in the top of the third inning. After the first two Colorado Springs batters were retired, Brett Phillips hit his fifth homer of the season, and the Sky Sox first home run of the second half to make it 1-0. Orlando Arcia then immediately followed up Phillips' home run with a solo dinger of his own to make it 2-0 Sky Sox. That was Arcia's second AAA homer of the season (4th overall). It was the first time the Sky Sox have gone back-to-back since Independence Day, when Arcia hit his first homer of the season in the first inning against New Orleans at Security Service Field, immediately before Tyrone Taylor followed up with a homer of his own. The Baby Cakes responded in the bottom half of the third, as Isaac Galloway hit a solo homer of his own to make it 2-1. It was Galloway's ninth home run of the season, and the first for New Orleans since the All-Star Break. After another two scoreless frames, the Sky Sox would score once again. Arcia led off the inning with a single on the first pitch he saw, with Taylor doubling on the very first pitch he saw to put runners on second and third, two pitches into the inning. Domingo Santana then hit a sacrifice fly to plate Arcia and advance Taylor to third. Taylor would be left stranded 90 feet from home however, sending it to the bottom of the sixth 3-1. That score was short-lived, however, with the home team firing back. Eric Campbell and Rafael Ortega led off the inning with back-to-back walks, with a wild pitch allowing both runners to move up a base. With one out on the board, Jonathan Rodriguez drew a walk of his own to load the bases. Peter Mooney then grounded into a force out, but a throwing error by the Sky Sox allowed both Campbell and Ortega to score to tie the game at three runs apiece. The seventh inning saw baserunners for both teams, but there wouldn't be further scoring until the bottom of the eighth. With one out on the board and nobody on, Rodriguez belted the fourth solo home run of the game to give the Baby Cakes their first lead of the series. On the next pitch, Mooney singled, before Cito Culver struck out for the second out of the inning, and Tomas Telis struck out for the third to send it to the ninth and give the Sky Sox a chance to come back from the one-run deficit. There would be no comeback for the Sky Sox, however, as they went three up and three down to end the game. Jake Hager, Dylan Moore and Andres Blanco all struck out, with the Baby Cakes taking game two 4-3 to even the series at one game apiece. Saturday's Preview: In game three of the second half of the season and this four-game series against the Baby Cakes in New Orleans, the Sky Sox are sending a yet-to-be-announced pitcher to the mound to face off against New Orleans' southpaw Jarlin Garcia, who is searching for his second win of the season. Leaving Men On: Though the Sky Sox and the Baby Cakes combined for seven runs on Friday night, they also combined to go 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position. Colorado Springs went 0-for-6 with RISP, while New Orleans went 1-for-13 with RISP. There were also four solo homers in the game; two for each squad. Friday the 13th: The Sky Sox are now 11-11 all-time on Friday the 13th after the loss on Friday night (6-6 at home, 5-5 on the road). The Friday the 13th game earlier this year on Friday, April 13th against Round Rock here in Colorado Springs was postponed due to cold temperatures and high winds. Friday night's game was the fourth time that the Sky Sox have faced New Orleans on Friday the 13th, with the Sky Sox now 2-2 against New Orleans. *** Box Score / Game Log LHP Nick Ramirez walked three in 1.2 innings.
