From Thursday -- Col. Springs Top of the 2nd Matt Clark called out on strikes. Ben Guez grounds out, pitcher Nick Tropeano to first baseman Efren Navarro. Matt Long grounds out, pitcher Nick Tropeano to first baseman Efren Navarro. Salt Lake Bottom of the 2nd Defensive Substitution: Chris Nelson replaces right fielder Ben Guez, batting 5th, playing third base. Defensive switch from third base to right field for Pete Orr. *** Guez (and his .914 OPS) lands on the Sky Sox DL, Bryan Petersen back on the active roster. We hope to learn more, probably leg-related, but we can't rule out oblique or other possibilities...

The first part of your statement is such a generality, except for the word "all" you squeezed in there. The super-young Wisconsin kids didn't get off to hot starts, so I guess they're excluded from your analysis here. Yeah, that 1.013 Orlando Arcia April OPS was unsustainable, but his .291/.344/.419 May line as a 20-year-old SS with outstanding defense doesn't combine to meet your breakout standard, it seems. Stop by and check in more often!

Saturday's farmhand birthday -- Brevard catcher Cameron Garfield (2nd round, 2009) turns 24.

Final: Biloxi 4, Birmingham 1 Suter whirls a gem as Shuckers get a franchise best sixth win in-a-row Shuckers take down Birmingham 4-1 and lead series 2-0 Biloxi Shuckers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/3/9/8/126094398/cuts/_BRP4030_hggonysb_17c6br5a.jpg Brent Suter tossed six shutout innings on Friday night and picked up his third victory (Benton Reed Photography) HUNTSVILLE, AL - Starter Brent Suter tossed a season-high six shutout innings and matched a season-high with six strikeouts as Biloxi defeated the Birmingham Barons 4-1 at Joe Davis Stadium on Friday night. Suter notched his third win of the season and didn't walk a batter as the Shuckers' were helped by three Birmingham errors in the fifth and two hits from Parker Berberet and two RBI's from Nick Shaw. After taking the 2-0 series lead over the Barons Friday night, the Shucers retain their 2.5 game division lead over Mississippi and are 6-1 against Jacksonville and the Barons on this 10-game "homestand" in Huntsville. Suter (W, 3-1) was making the spot start for Brooks Hall and the lefty out of Harvard did not disappoint. "I felt good," stated Suter, on his seventh outing of the season and third start. "My command was better than it's been all year I'd say. I was staying down in the zone and everything worked off the fastball pretty nicely tonight." For the fifth straight game, Biloxi jumped out in front first, this time using an RBI groundout by Shaw (1x3, 2 RBI, R, 2B) to bring in Brandon Macias (1x3, 2 R, BB) for a 1-0 lead in the third. Biloxi (26-16) stretched its advantage to four with a three-run fifth. After a groundout by Taylor Green (1x4) started the frame, Macias walked and Berberet (2x3, R, 2B) singled on a ground ball to short, but a throwing error allowed Macias to move to third. The hit stretched the backup catcher's hitting streak to six games. Shaw then doubled home Macias and moved Berberet to third. Kyle Wren's (1x3, BB) single to first scored Berberet and gave the Shuckers a 3-0 lead. Tyrone Taylor (0x3, RBI) attempted a sacrifice bunt, but an error on the pitcher Mark Blackmar allowed Shaw to score without a play to give Biloxi its third run of the inning. Both Wren and Berberet extended their hitting streaks to six games, while Wren tied a team-leading on-base streak at 22 consecutive games. Orlando Arcia (0x4) reached on an error, but was unable to reach base for a 23rd consecutive game, ending his team-high streak. The Barons had scoring opportunities in the first and third. Suter struck out Christian Marrero and got a fly out by Danny Hayes with a runner at third in the first and stranded another runner at third in the third inning by striking out Birmingham's Courtney Hawkins to end the inning. "They put some hits together and it definitely wasn't a breeze," Suter replied in response to Birmingham's five hits in the first three innings. "They put the pressure on and the defense played great behind me and we were able to get out of those." The Shuckers turned a 6-4-3 double play to end the second inning after a leadoff single by Chris Curley. "I wasn't worrying about what had happened, but just that next pitch and executing it - fortunately it worked out tonight for me." Jacob Barnes worked a perfect seventh and eighth before being touched for a run with two outs in the ninth. Mike Strong (SV, 1) shut the door by retiring Jeremy Farrell to secure the Shuckers' victory. On the six-game winning streak, Suter added, "It's a very good streak and I hope we keep it going. This is a great clubhouse with a lot of quality dudes. It's a lot of fun right now." The Shuckers will look to extend their season-long six-game winning streak to seven on Saturday night, with RHP Tyler Wagner (5-0, 1.91) going up against RHP Tyler Barnette (1-2, 1.83). First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 PM, with coverage beginning at 6:55 p.m. on 1240-AM WGCM and the Biloxi Shuckers Radio Network.

Final: Colorado Springs 7, Salt Lake 2 Sky Sox Power Past Bees In 7-2 Win Colorado Springs Launches Three HRs to Back Cravy's Strong Start By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/5/1/4/126120514/cuts/05_14_055_pk_77uw9y5a_fxl7b6h7.jpg Nevin Ashley is congratulated by Rick Sweet after his sixth inning home run, one of his three hits on the day in the 7-2 win. The Sky Sox rode a strong power display to a one-sided 7-2 victory over the Salt Lake Bees before a crowd of 4,313 at Smith's Ballpark on Friday night. Sox starter Tyler Cravy (4-4, 4.61) tossed six strong innings of one-run baseball, allowing six base-runners on three hits and three walks while striking out four. Colorado Springs took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the second when Chris Nelson took a 1-1 offering from Bees right-hander Drew Rucinski (0-4, 7.99) over the right field fence for a two-run shot; his first long ball since rejoining the Sky Sox as a member of the Brewers organization. The Sox would tag Rucinski for runs in the third and sixth thanks to solo shots by Matt Clark and Nevin Ashley respectively, giving the Salt Lake starter a final line that saw him allow four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings of work. Four consecutive one-out singles and a base hit in the Sox eighth gave Colorado Springs a late 7-1 lead against the Bees as righty Cam Bedrosian would be charged with the frame's runs. Holding a 7-1 lead after Ariel Pena maintained the lead with two scoreless innings of his own, the Sox deployed Rob Wooten to close out the ballgame, the side-slinging right-hander would allow a one-out home run to Bees outfielder Roger Kieschnick to cut the Colorado Springs lead to five before closing out the ballgame at 7-2 on strikeouts of two of the game's final three batters. The Sox lineup would record 12 hits in the ballgame off of a combination of four Salt Lake pitchers with Ashley's three-hit, three-run game leading the way with Nelson and his two-run, two RBI night. The Sox improve to 16-24 with the win as they push Salt Lake to a 19-22 record a little more than a quarter through the 2015 PCL season. Colorado Springs will look to take control of the four-game set in game three on Saturday night. Taylor Jungmann (1-1, 7.68) faces off with Angels top pitching prospect Andrew Heaney (5-0, 3.12) at Smith's Ballpark with first pitch set for 6:35 PM MDT (7;35 Central) in Salt Lake. Colorado Springs Box Score Looks like that photo in the home whites is a file picture; regardless, how about Nevin Ashley and his .929 OPS after 98 AB's? Martin Maldonado's two-year deal means the 30-year old Ashley is on injury-watch. In five road starts, RHP Tyler Cravy has walked 16 in 24 innings, actually better and in more control at home -- still, nice effort here... Colorado Springs Game Log

From way back on April 8th via Adam McCalvy -- One of last season's Timber Rattlers, right fielder Michael Ratterree, will spend the first two weeks of Class A Advanced Brevard County's season on the disabled list, Gord Ash said. He suffered a slight right wrist fracture on a hit-by-pitch in Spring Training. Unless there was a new different injury, that was no slight wrist fracture.
