Final: Arizona Cubs 5, Arizona Brewers 3 Darn Cublets scored all their runs in the 8th for their come-from-behind win... Weather: 112 degrees, partly cloudy. Wind: 5 mph, In from LF. Maryvale Box Score LHP Boanerges Nova, making his stateside debut at 23, was touched up for the unfortunate inning. As noted earlier, fine outing for 2015 3rd round pick Nash Walters, who only turned 19 in May. In between, 2nd year undrafted free agent RHP Aaron Myers, 22, tossed two scoreless. He'll be among the many college arms looking for the escape route from the Arizona heat. Maryvale Game Log 3rd year pro and 2nd year stateside, CF Nicolas Pierre drove in all three A-Crew runs with a double and a sacrifice fly. 2015 14th round 1B Tyrone Perry was 0-for-4, he's listed at 6'1', 265, which if accurate, represents real fitness progress, so kudos to him. Surely he'd appreciate it if we focused on his performance and not his conditioning. 5'3" 39th round LF Jose Gomez (college bio) reached three times from the leadoff spot in his pro debut. We will try to not refer to his height in every forum mention.

Weston Wilson excited to begin professional career with Brewers organization By Dan Hope of the Independent Mail (Anderson, SC) http://media.jrn.com/images/660*519/D0013001821--711265.JPG Former Clemson infielder Weston Wilson has taken his game to the professional level. Independent Mail file photo The first call Weston Wilson received after being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers came from a member of a different MLB team's organization. When former Clemson teammate and current Cleveland Indians prospect Tyler Krieger called Wilson to tell him "Congratulations" two Saturdays ago, Wilson wasn't sure why at first. Wilson had been listening to an online stream of the MLB draft that afternoon, but got anxious and decided to turn it off. Soon after receiving the news from Krieger, however, Wilson received a call from the Brewers, confirming they had selected him in the 17th round of the draft with the No. 501 overall pick. As a full 500 players went before him, Wilson acknowledges his wait to be drafted took longer than expected. Unease quickly turned to excitement once Wilson found out where he was headed. "As a young kid, I always wanted to get drafted and play professional baseball, but now the goal is to make it up to the big leagues," Wilson said. "This is where it starts." Where it starts for Wilson is Montana, playing for the Helena Brewers, Milwaukee's affiliate in the Pioneer League. Wilson, who grew up in North Carolina, made the trip to Montana last Tuesday to begin his professional baseball career. In his first two games for Helena, Wilson has three hits (two doubles), a stolen base and two runs scored on seven at bats. If Wilson is to eventually make it to the major leagues, he faces a long road ahead. Helena, an advanced rookie league team, is fifth in the Brewers' minor league hierarchy. Before he ever plays in Milwaukee, Wilson will have to prove himself not only in the Pioneer League but at the Single-A, Advanced A, Double-A and Triple-A levels. Wilson believes the keys to working his way up the ladder are staying confident every day and "just becoming consistent." "I just want to stick to having fun playing the game," Wilson said. "You never know when your last game's going to be, when it could be taken away from you." Wilson has a familial understanding of what it is like to have the game taken away. Wilson's brother, Spencer, was an accomplished high school basketball player who received a scholarship to Belmont Abbey College. Spencer was forced to give up basketball because of lymphedema, swelling in his leg that resulted from the removal of malignant lymph nodes during a battle with pediatric cancer. Now that he is a professional, Weston Wilson hopes he can help his family out financially. His primary motivation for playing professional baseball, however, is more simple than that. "Because I love it," Wilson said. Over the course of his career at Clemson, Wilson started 164 games — 99 at third base, 65 at second base — in three years. Wilson started all but one game at second base in 2016, when he hit .279 with 12 doubles, three triples, seven home runs and 45 RBIs while scoring 50 runs and stealing eight bases. He was a regular and integral player in the Tigers' lineup, which led Clemson to an ACC Tournament title and a 44-20 record as the Tigers hosted an NCAA regional for the first time in five years and were a national seed for the first time in 10 years. "I think we just exceeded a lot of expectations from the fans and what people thought we were going to do this year, so that was awesome," Wilson said. "We just jelled from the beginning. I think that's a huge reason why we had a lot of success." Playing under Monte Lee this past season helped prepare Wilson to take his game to the next level, he believes, but he also hasn't forgotten what he learned from former Clemson baseball coach Jack Leggett, who recruited Wilson to be a Tiger and coached him for his first two collegiate seasons. "Every year that I've been here I've been taught some good things, and this year was just a little bit different," Wilson said. "I'm just glad that I had the opportunity to play for Coach Leggett and Coach Lee." Wilson said he expects to maintain the relationships he built with coaches and teammates at Clemson for the rest of his life. "I'm happy for all the guys who got drafted this year and all the guys that are going to get an opportunity in the next few years," Wilson said. "They'll always be my teammates."

Final: Helena 5, Great Falls 4 LINK includes four captioned photos via James Ridle, BMGphotos.com Brewers hold off Voyagers to stay perfect Ryan Collingwood, Helena Independent Record Great Falls' rallying opportunities were ample. Whenever the door opened for Helena's Pioneer League rival, though, it was quickly slammed shut. The Brewers held off the Voyagers in a 5-4 decision at Kindrick Legion Field on Sunday afternoon to claim the four-game series, a contest which saw the visitors strand 11 runners -- four in the final two frames. Unlike in its first two wins, Helena, which improved to 3-0, never trailed. Starting pitcher Trey Supak, a second-round draft pick a year ago with the Pittsburgh Pirates, had a sterling debut in the Brewers organization. Supak allowed no runs, two hits and no walks in three innings of work and struck out three. Michael Petersen earned the win after giving up one run and three hits in relief in the next three innings. "It went pretty well," said Supak, who signed a $1 million contract with the Pirates last summer before being traded. "I established my fastball in the first few innings and kept hitters off balance. (The defense) was making some really good plays behind me." Helena used four arms in the win, with Rodrigo Benoit earning the save. Second baseman Franly Mallen paced the Brewers at the plate, going 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Caleb Whalen, a 38th-round pick out of the University of Portland making his professional debut, recorded a pair of RBIs. Whalen's college teammate, 18th-round pick Cooper Hummel, got the Brewers' offense going early with a double in the second inning, his first professional at-bat. A single by Mallen brought in Hummel, and a rope by Joantgel Segovia off the first baseman's glove allowed Mallen to score, giving Helena a 2-0 lead. Helena had a 3-0 cushion in the sixth inning, but Great Falls chipped away at the deficit. The Voyagers (0-3) had three straight hits in the seventh, with an RBI single by Alex Call cutting the lead to 3-2. An RBI single by Juan Ortiz in the seventh extended the Brewers' lead, but the Voyagers tacked one more on when Aaron Schnurbusch, who had an RBI single in the sixth, scored on a fielder's choice to make it a 4-3 contest. A single by Demi Orimoloye led to a run when Whalen knocked him in from third on a fielder's choice. Benoit, who gave up five hits and two runs, got out jams in both the eighth and ninth innings, also tallying three strikeouts. Mallen liked his team's resolve, despite stranding nine runners. "The hitters and pitchers communicated a lot and helped each other out," Mallen said. "Always supporting each other, and when one doesn't do their job, the hitters pick them up and vice versa; so it's a good, solid team we have." The Brewers' second reliever Sunday, Santos Saldivar, who gave up one run and two hits in his Brewers debut, was the post-game translator for Mallen, a Dominican. "It felt good, going 3 for 4 is what my goal is every game. I hope to do that every game," Mallen said. "It felt amazing playing in front of a big crowd and that pushed me to be as good as I was today." The Voyagers' Alex Call and Jameson Fisher -- third- and fourth-round draft picks by the White Sox two weeks ago -- each went 2 for 5. Both teams meet again at 7:05 PM Monday (8:05 Central) at Kindrick Legion Field to conclude the four-game, season-opening series. Notes: Lucas Erceg, the 46th overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, made his debut with the Brewers in Helena on Sunday, going 1 for 4 with a stolen base. ... First baseman Juan Ortiz is off to a nice start in his three games, going 6 for 12 with two doubles and four RBIs. Helena Box Score Lucas Erceg, DH'ing here, and catcher Cooper Hummel both scored hits in their first pro games. RHP Santos Saldivar's first pro mound outing was scoreless, and he stranded two inherited runners. LF Caleb Whalen was 0-for-3, but drove in two big runs.
