Final: Colorado Springs 7, Round Rock 5 Definitely much more respectable lately... The Sky Sox haven't posted a game summary, here are a few notes combined from the Gazette and the Statesman (away and home) -- Round Rock, Texas - Late-inning theatrics caused the Round Rock Express to drop the series opener against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox 7-5. Round Rock's offense was unable to sustain its early momentum and a 5-2 lead and went completely silent over the remaining seven innings. Matt Clark homered for the Sky Sox in the fifth. The contest turned on a dime with the arrival of Express righty Ross Ohlendorf who took the reins from southpaw Jimmy Reyes to start the eighth. Ohlendorf began the frame with a walk, but gathered the next two outs in successive order. A Clark single put runners on first and second. Luis Sardinas came up next and was immediately impactful as the DH propelled his first homer of the season to put the Sky Sox in front 6-5. The Sky Sox padded their lead with an RBI single from Nevin Ashley in the ninth. Round Rock and Colorado Springs continue the series Wednesday night with the first of back-to-back doubleheaders, starting at 5:05 PM. Express RHP Phil Irwin (1-1, 9.00) takes on Sky Sox RHP Josh Roenicke (6-8, 5.23) in game one, while both pitchers for game two are still to be announced. Colorado Springs Box Score Matt Clark was on base five times with this unique line (HR, 3 BB's, HBP). His OBP is now .343. Despite all the great photos, Michael Reed was 0-for-5 on the night. Even after posting all these Sky Sox summaries, hadn't realized Luis Sardinas was homerless until the big knock Tuesday night. LF Domingo Santana was 0-for-4 with a walk and stolen base. Colorado Springs Game Log Be sure to click the box to acknowledge the four Sky Sox relievers who pitched shutout ball over the final five innings. Unfortunately, it was a rough outing for RHP Zach Davies, it was a doubles-fest (and a HR) over the first two innings, documented here -- Round Rock Bottom of the 1st Leonys Martin grounds out, first baseman Matt Clark to pitcher Zach Davies. Hanser Alberto doubles (18) on a ground ball to left fielder Domingo Santana. Ryan Rua doubles (1) on a fly ball to left fielder Domingo Santana. Hanser Alberto scores. Ed Lucas strikes out swinging. Joey Gallo doubles (6) on a fly ball to center fielder Kyle Wren. Ryan Rua scores. Michael Choice singles on a soft ground ball to third baseman Matt Dominguez. Joey Gallo to 3rd. Thomas Field strikes out swinging. Round Rock Bottom of the 2nd Brett Nicholas doubles (15) on a line drive to center fielder Kyle Wren. Jared Hoying strikes out swinging. Leonys Martin walks. Hanser Alberto grounds into a force out, third baseman Matt Dominguez to second baseman Pete Orr. Brett Nicholas to 3rd. Leonys Martin out at 2nd. Hanser Alberto to 1st. Ryan Rua homers (3) on a fly ball to center field. Brett Nicholas scores. Hanser Alberto scores. Ed Lucas walks. Joey Gallo flies out to center fielder Kyle Wren. Round Rock Bottom of the 3rd Michael Choice singles on a soft fly ball to right fielder Michael Reed. Thomas Field walks. Michael Choice to 2nd. Brett Nicholas grounds into a double play, second baseman Pete Orr to shortstop Yadiel Rivera to first baseman Matt Clark. Michael Choice to 3rd. Thomas Field out at 2nd. Jared Hoying flies out to center fielder Kyle Wren. Round Rock Bottom of the 4th Leonys Martin grounds out, first baseman Matt Clark to pitcher Zach Davies. Hanser Alberto flies out to left fielder Domingo Santana. Ryan Rua singles on a ground ball to shortstop Yadiel Rivera, deflected by third baseman Matt Dominguez. Ed Lucas grounds into a force out, third baseman Matt Dominguez to second baseman Pete Orr. Ryan Rua out at 2nd.

Final: AZL White Sox 5, AZL Brewers 4 Another walkoff loss... Maryvale Box Score Congrats to catcher Max McDowell (13th round, UConn) on his first professional home run. It tied the game in the 8th inning. Unfortunately, the night was bittersweet for McDowell, as he apparently injured himself during the fateful 9th inning -- AZL White Sox Bottom of the 9th Jake Fincher doubles (6) on a line drive to right fielder Yerald Martinez. Hunter Jones strikes out on a foul bunt. Defensive Substitution: Kevin Martinez replaces catcher Max McDowell, batting 8th, playing catcher. With Bradley Strong batting, wild pitch by Gentry Fortuno, Jake Fincher to 3rd. Bradley Strong singles on a fly ball to left fielder Demi Orimoloye. Jake Fincher scores. Maryvale Game Log Professional hitter extraordinaire CF Trent Clark was on base four times (two singles, two walks). First baseman Tyrone Perry had a perfect night at the plate, three singles and a walk. Third baseman Jorge Quiterio hit his 2nd HR of the season. Looks like the White Sox have a stud 19-year-old defensive catcher out of Venezuela, check this out -- BASERUNNING SB: Clark (13, 3rd base off Stephens/Gonzalez, D). CS: Clark (4, 2nd base by Comito/Gonzalez, D), Lara, G (3, 2nd base by Comito/Gonzalez, D), Mendez, J (1, 2nd base by Comito/Gonzalez, D), Orimoloye, D (4, 2nd base by Comito/Gonzalez, D). Nice debut for RHP Jack Finnegan (3 IP, 1 R), and RHP David Lucroy induced a sweet eight ground ball outs and three K's in his four innings, but was still a bit too hittable. The White Sox didn't make a fly ball out until the 8th inning, actually.

Final: Ogden 9, Helena 0 Brewers shut out 9-0 Helena Brewers The Helena Brewers (3-9) were shut out for the second time this season on Tuesday, falling 9-0 to the Ogden Raptors (6-6) at Kindrick Field. The Brewers have scored just two runs over their last 20 offensive innings. Ogden jumped on the board in the top of the first, scoring one run on two hits off Milton Gomez (2-2). Logan Landon led off with a walk and scored later on the RBI single of Alex Santana. Gomez gave up five runs in four innings. Michael Boyles (2-1) was outstanding in the start for Ogden, striking out six batters and giving up two hits in his five innings. It was just the second time this season he has gone that deep into a game. Helena tied their season-low for hits in a game, coming up with just two. Troy Stokes and Carlos Belonis singled in the second and third, respectively. Belonis would account for two of Helena's five baserunners on Tuesday. The Raptors posted four runs in both the fourth and seventh innings. The Brewers have now given up at least four runs in an inning on six consecutive nights. Gage Green led the Ogden offense on a 3-for-5 night. He added two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Junior Rincon finished the game strong for Helena, striking out four in two innings of perfect relief. He would strike out the side in the ninth. The Brewers and Raptors will face off in the finale of their three-game series Wednesday at Kindrick Field. First pitch is set for 7:05 PM (8:05 Central). Helena Box Score Not good. Not good. Opposite of good. Helena Game Log RF Carlos Belonis only missed three games with a hamstring strain. Malik Collymore, playing LF in this one, failed to get a hit for the first time in eight games as a Brewer, but did draw a walk.

VIDEO via WLOX: Biloxi game highlights/lowlights

From the Biloxi Sun-Herald game story, mostly same recap as above but with these quotes -- "I thought it was a good ballgame up until the sixth," Shuckers manager Carlos Subero said. "They took advantage of some pitches in the seventh. They put up a four-spot (against Viramontes), then a three-spot against Gagnon. "It was good to see us in the 8th still putting up some good ABs. We put a 2-spot on the board. Hopefully, we start off on the right foot against Pensacola."

VIDEO: In addition to the game highlights linked at Rattler Radio above, here's a second look at the Wisconsin win via the MyNew32 TV broadcast. NOTE: Thankfully too, especially for Blake Allemand, as the Rattlers' own video didn't include the four-run first inning for the good guys. This one does.

First posted August 4th -- Finnegan is making his professional debut tonight, starting for Maryvale.

RHP Zach Davies is the Sky Sox "TBD" tonight in Round Rock. Nice...

Recently released catcher and longtime Brewers farmhand Cameron Garfield has signed with the Rockford (IL) Aviators of the independent Frontier League. Hopefully Garfield (2nd round 2009, still just 24 years old) can work his way back to affiliated ball in due time.

Baseball America: One Sky Sox player showed up in the AAA "Best Tools" chart. Want a hint? He's on the 40-man roster.

Because Brevard's Taylor Brennan tweeted it himself and has been open about it in the past, we're also happy to congratulate his mom on her successful cancer battle! And to any and all who have loved ones in the midst of such a fight, best wishes.
