One more look! Does everyone else think Joe Ayrault didn't really have an argument? I thought Ray was out, granted, hard to tell if he ever touched the bag. And what a play on the tag, barehanding the toss to the plate.

Final: Arizona Brewers 7, Arizona Indians 6 A-Crew moves to 7-1! VIDEO TWEET: Keston Huira swing speed Comment from Chris: Keston Hiura explosive strong hands w/ efficient bat path, near 7 bat speed. Advanced hand eye and approach. Very quality bat Maryvale Box Score 38th round catcher Robie Rojas has seven singles in his first 13 pro AB's for a shiny .538 average. CF Jesus Lujano is an interesting cat we haven't discussed much -- this is his true age 18 season (19 next February), only one Dominican Summer League season under his belt, left-handed bat who walked (30) more than he fanned (28) in 203 AB's last summer. That advanced approach brought him stateside and into the Maryvale leadoff spot here. Maryvale Game Log RHP Scott Serigstad (2016 15th round, Cal State Fullerton), who struggled in Helena last summer, made his desert debut. He only faced four batters (walk, F8, walk, K), so his assignment seems to be injury-related. Serigstad was followed by four first-year RHP's, three 22-year-old's and also 21-year-old 7th round JUCO pick Bowden Francis, listed at 6'5", 240, who made his pro debut: AZL Indians Top of the 7th Pitching Change: Bowden Francis replaces Tyler Thorne. Jose Fermin doubles (1) on a line drive to left fielder Kenny Corey. Michael Tinsley strikes out swinging. Henry Pujols doubles (3) on a line drive to left fielder Kenny Corey. Jose Fermin scores. Miguel Jerez doubles (3) on a line drive to center fielder Jesus Lujano. Henry Pujols scores. Felix Fernandez pops out to shortstop Yadiel Rivera. Michael Cooper strikes out swinging. AZL Indians Top of the 8th Tre Gantt grounds out, shortstop Yadiel Rivera to first baseman Moises Perez. Johnathan Rodriguez reaches on a fielding error by shortstop Yadiel Rivera. Johnathan Rodriguez to 2nd. Quentin Holmes strikes out swinging. Jose Fermin flies out to left fielder Kenny Corey. *** Weather: 92 degrees, sunny. Wind: 3 mph, Varies. First pitch: 10:00 AM.

Final: Missoula 12, Helena 5 Eight Unanswered Runs Too Much For Helena Runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th by Missoula send Brewers to second straight loss By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Yes, Jose Gomez homered again. Strength doesn't care about height. Read about that and also learn who has a 13-game on-base streak (hitting .348 on the season as well), via the link above. *** Via MontanaSports.com: Jose Gomez went opposite field with a runner on in the top of the 5th, just clearing the tall wall in right for his fourth home run of the three game series. Gomez was only batting .115 through his first seven games of the season.

Roegner to return to mound Josh Flickinger, Beloit Daily News BELOIT - Cameron Roegner hopes to appear on a pitching mound near you, and soon. Unfortunately for local fans of the Beloit Memorial graduate and current member of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, Roegner won't appear in the four-game weekend series at Pohlman Field. Roegner was officially placed on the disabled list prior to the series. He hopes to pitch later this week when the team travels to Cedar Rapids. After throwing four hitless innings against Kane County Sunday, June 25, Roegner was all set to take his turn on the mound Friday night to start the game against the Snappers. When he woke up Monday, he didn't feel right. "I just was a little more sore than usual," Roegner said. "It's just something that pitchers deal with on occasion. You see guys go on and off the DL on occasion, and I'm hoping to just miss the one start. I've thrown the last few days, and everything feels good. I'm not worried about it at all." Besides the four perfect innings, the outing against the Cougars in Grand Chute was notable for another reason: Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun was behind him in left field, while fellow rehabbing Brewer Jonathan Villar was at second. Roegner took full advantage of Villar's presence as the second baseman ended up with four assists, including a pair of outstanding plays. The unique opportunity to team up with a pair of big leaguers wasn't lost on Roegner. "That's probably been the one time in pro ball I've been like 'Wow' about something," Roegner said. "I grew up a big fan of Braun (who debuted when Roegner was just about to turn 14). It's pretty sweet and just seeing how both of those guys approach the game and learning from them was a really cool experience. They were there for us if we had any questions. Everyone goes through the grind on the way to the big leagues. They've been there and they know that there is a lot of pressure. They understand exactly what you're going through." Roegner said he learned more about the way to prepare for a game than any specific baseball skill. "It was great to see and hear them talk about the way they prepared," Roegner said. "And when I talked to Braun, he told me it was the first time in his 11-year career he'd ever had to go on a rehab assignment. He said it was nice to kind of step back after being spoiled in the big leagues all that time. He said it helped him appreciate things a little more. But both of them were just great guys, awesome guys to talk to." While the duo's baseball skill sets were obviously impressive, Roegner said their ability to think their way through the game set them apart as well. "These guys are really, really smart," Roegner said. "Just watching Villar all weekend, he's reading swings, he's looking at counts, knowing what to look for and knowing where they might hit the pitch you are throwing. He just seemed to always be in the right spot at the right time. They aren't just big, strong guys with good hand-eye coordination. They really know the game." After struggling mightily down the stretch of the first half, Wisconsin is off to a decent 5-6 start to the second half. "That's one of the great things about single-A ball," Roegner said. "You can really flush that first half. It's not just hoping you can come back from 12 games back. You really can actually flush it. We're starting at square one and trying to reset as a team. I know we have more talent on our roster than what are record showed in the first half. We just have to go out and compete."

Final: Beloit 2, Wisconsin 1 Rattlers Drop Series Finale at Beloit By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** Wisconsin Box Score You'll learn about the two Timber Rattler debuts in Chris' summary. Wisconsin Game Log Also from the write-up: Both teams loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning and both teams managed to score one run. Wisconsin Top of the 1st Demi Orimoloye singles on a line drive to left fielder Luke Persico. Devin Hairston singles on a ground ball to right fielder JaVon Shelby. Demi Orimoloye to 2nd. Weston Wilson singles on a sharp ground ball to left fielder Luke Persico. Demi Orimoloye to 3rd. Devin Hairston to 2nd. Tucker Neuhaus strikes out swinging. Joantgel Segovia singles on a soft line drive to center fielder Luis Barrera. Demi Orimoloye scores. Devin Hairston to 3rd. Weston Wilson to 2nd. Trever Morrison grounds into a double play, third baseman Eric Marinez to second baseman Trace Loehr to first baseman Miguel Mercedes. Joantgel Segovia out at 2nd. NOTE: Morrison (.560 OPS entering the game) was 0-for-4 here, with his other three trips being K's. That would have been a preferred action here as well. What a miserable 2017 thus far for the 2016 12th round pick out of Oregon State. Beloit Bottom of the 1st Luis Barrera singles on a ground ball to center fielder Ryan Aguilar. With Eric Marinez batting, Luis Barrera steals (10) 2nd base. Eric Marinez walks. Luke Persico singles on a sharp ground ball to right fielder Demi Orimoloye. Luis Barrera to 3rd. Eric Marinez to 2nd. Miguel Mercedes out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Demi Orimoloye. Luis Barrera scores. Trace Loehr flies out to left fielder Joantgel Segovia.
