Via MinorLeagueBall.com: The week two Cape Cod League Player of the Week was Donnie Walton, the middle infielder for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox. The Oklahoma State Junior was just drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 23rd round. However, he is seen as a tough sign, given his father Rob is the pitching coach for Oklahoma State. He's hit a solid .306/.396/.407 over his three year college career, including a robust .326/.410/.481 line in 2015. So far in the Cape, he's hitting .321/.352/.383 over 81 PA, good for a 118 OPS+ and 10.9 runs created. He's actually only the second-best hitter on the YD Red Sox, behind fellow middle infielder Tommy Edman, a Stanford SS who's hit .299/.373/.418 with a 127 OPS+ to date. Walton is a scrappy player who profiles best as an utility guy in pro ball, but sometimes those guys break out. Look at San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Duffy, for example. He will likely go as a cheap senior sign in the top ten rounds next June, assuming he doesn't sign with the Brewers.

Done and done...

Final: AZL Brewers 7, AZL White Sox 3 Maryvale Box Score Once again, solid pitching lines from all four Maryvale hurlers. Ten errors in the game, thankfully only three by the A-Crew; four errors by the White Sox catcher. CF Trent Clark doubled and singled in five AB's. With the big names at the top of the order having a quiet night, let's give some love and have you focus on the final three spots in last night's lineup, as LF Nicolas Pierre, 3B Jonathan Oquendo, and 2B Daniel Leonardo combined to go 7-for-12. Catcher Dustin Houle was 2-for-3 with a walk, including a home run. Maryvale Game Log

Final: Memphis 12, Colorado Springs 4 Relentless Redbirds Romp Sox In 12-4 Loss Memphis Collects 18 Hits, 3 Homers to Secure Series Win By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/5/1/8/125047518/cuts/05_17_057sm_pk_dk8wk6wp_qxhyg32p.jpg Logan Schafer drove in the first Sox run with a second inning RBI sacrifice fly to score Matt Clark in Monday night's 12-4 loss. (File Photo by Paat Kelly) COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - The Memphis Redbirds continued their hot-hitting in a 12-4 defeat of the Sky Sox before 1,594 fans at Security Service Field on Monday night. Sox starter Josh Roenicke (4-6, 5.71) appeared a bit rusty to begin his night, allowing seven runs on eight base knocks and three free passes to the hit-happy Redbirds through his first two frames. The right-hander settled down for a scoreless third before surrendering two more runs on the strength of a two-run shot by Memphis second baseman Dean Anna. Roenicke wrapped up the fourth, ending his night having given up nine runs on 11 hits and four walks while striking out just two. Michael Kirkman fared only slightly better in his two innings of relief, allowing three runs over the fifth and sixth innings. Redbirds starter Nick Greenwood (7-3, 5.42) followed a scoreless 8.1 inning performance on June 26th against the Sox in Memphis with yet another strong performance. The lefty gave up just two runs on nine hits while striking out four and walking none over seven impressive frames. Matt Clark's leadoff double in the second catalyzed the Sox first run as he came home to score on a Logan Schafer sacrifice fly. Colorado Springs scratched across one more run in the home sixth thanks to a pinch-hit RBI infield single by the recently re-activated Donnie Murphy, plating Clark and cutting the Memphis lead to 10. Right-handed duo Austin Ross and Tim Dillard combined for three scoreless frames out of the Sox bullpen to keep the potent Redbirds lineup off the board the rest of the way. Memphis right Joey Donofrio took over for Greenwood in the eighth, tossing a perfect eight before coming on to close out the game in the ninth. Donofrio would not secure the victory easily, allowing a leadoff base hit to Yadiel Rivera before a fielding error by left fielder Ty Kelly allowed Juan Centeno to reach second base to give the Sox two runners in scoring position with no out. Pinch-hitter Matt Long and Elian Herrera followed with back-to-back RBI groundouts, cutting the deficit to 12-4 with an out remaining. Kyle Wren grounded out in the following at-bat to end the mini-rally and the ballgame as Memphis secured the series victory with a 12-4 win. Colorado Springs reaches 50 losses on the season after tonight's disappointing showing, falling to 32-50 in 2015. The Redbirds improve to 44-41 with the lopsided win. The Sox will look to end their current four-game skid with a win on Tuesday night as Hiram Burgos (1-0, 2.40) is set to face off with Redbirds lefty John Gast (4-6, 4.38) in the teams' series-finale. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM MDT (8:05 Central) at Security Service Field. Colorado Springs Box Score We're reaching the embarrassing stage with the Brewers' AAA club, and the Cardinals' affiliate is reinforcing it. RH reliever Austin Ross is off to an OK AAA start. Trivia - There are seven position players members of the Brewers' 40-man roster on this team. Luis Sardinas is one, but he's on the DL. Can you name the other six, all who were in Monday's lineup? A few had decent nights as well. Have to do something fun with these miserable Sky Sox recaps... Colorado Springs Game Log

Multi-Talented Harrison Concentrating on Baseball with Brewers By Ben Kaplan, KFBB Sports Director Coming out of high school Monte Harrison was more known for his hands in football and high flying dunks in basketball. The former four star wide out committed to play at the University of Nebraska, until he decided to sign with the Milwaukee Brewers after being drafted in the second round of the 2014 MLB draft. "It's just a love for the game," said Harrison. "I can come out here and do something everyday that I love. I kind of enjoy doing it, just to know I can kind of goof around with guys and relax compared to the other sports." Having almost chosen a career in football, Harrison's hands as a receiver have always been his best trait. And as a center fielder for the Brew Crew now, it's a skill he still uses. "It's actually kind of the same thing," said Harrison. "Whether it's catching a punt, or just tracking a fly ball down, or a deep ball in the game it's kind of all the same thing. You've still got to run down and get the ball. And I'm very comfortable doing so." "There's no question about it, it enhances his game tremendously," said Brewers manager Tony Diggs. "Hopefully it helps his reads and routes as well when he has to find the ball off the bat." It's those hands and athleticism that makes Harrison the number four ranked prospect in the Brewers system according to Bleacher Report. And during his time in Helena he's working on turning that raw talent into a polished product on the field. "Dual athletes, things come naturally for them," said Diggs. "I think the hardest thing they have to do is that they have to learn how to focus on one thing now. And I think baseball, because it's his chosen profession now, he's got to learn how to focus on it." "Baseball is a different sport," said Harrison. "You can't just go out there and let your god given abilities work for you. You actually have to think and react to things. But at the end of the day it's all about 'What do you see this guy in the future as?'" The Milwaukee Brewers see Harrison as one of their top outfielders of the future. He's hoping to star in the bigs one day, but for right now, he's happy to be starring for the Brewers in Helena.
