FSL notes: Coulter comfortable with switch Manatees outfielder thriving at the plate following move from catcher By Guy Curtright / Special to MiLB.com

Here's another, more extensive feature, this one from the Toronto Sun, on Pete Orr -- wouldn't be surprising to see him join the coaching ranks in the future, perhaps in the Brewers' organization.

Final: Biloxi 6, Jackson 3 Shuckers surge back into first place with 6-3 win at Jackson Tyler Wagner becomes first five-game winner in the Southern League Biloxi Shuckers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/3/8/2/124042382/cuts/_BRP4274_rqpsthmb_tpoz2ur9.jpg Michael Reed blasted his second home run of the season in Biloxi's 6-3 win on Tuesday night (Photo by Benton Red) JACKSON, TN - The Shuckers' offense woke up with a bang in game two against the Jackson Generals, clubbing 11 hits - four for extra bases, in Tuesday night's 6-3 victory at The Ballpark at Jackson. In the win, Tyler Wagner improved to a perfect 5-0 on the season - the first five-game winner in Southern League. The victory also places the Shuckers back into first place in the Southern League South Division with the Mobile BayBears dropping both ends of a double-header at Mississippi. Nick Ramirez led the charge at the place with a 2-for-3 performance with two doubles and three RBIs. The big bash came in the fifth when the lefty from Anaheim, CA lined a double right-center with the bases loaded, clearing the bases and giving the Shuckers a 6-3 advantage. Biloxi (19-13) hopped on the board first in the second with a three-run frame. Ramirez doubled and scored on Michael Reed's (1x3, HR, 2 RBI, R, BB) second home run of the season to give the Shuckers a 2-0 lead. Nathan Orf (1x3, R, BB) and Nick Shaw (1x4) followed with singles and Tyrone Taylor (2x5, RBI, R) drove in Orf with a single to center. The long ball from Reed was the first for the Shuckers since Ramirez went yard against the Mobile BayBears on May 3. Jackson (12-17) roared right back with a three-spot of its own off of a three-run triple by Steve Baron. Generals outfielder Dario Pizzano extended his league-leading hitting streak to 22 games with a single in the inning. Wagner (W, 5-0) became the first pitcher in the Southern League to reach five wins with his fifth quality start of the season. The Las Vegas native allowed the maximum of three runs over six innings, walked one and struck out four. In three starts during the month of May, Wagner has given up just four runs in 20 innings on the mound. Orlando Arcia (3x5, 2B, R) continued his on-base streak with a three-hit performance and has now reached in 13-straight games. It was also Arcia's 13th multi-hit effort. The Shuckers' bullpen bounced back with a combination of Mike Strong (IP), Jaye Chapman (IP, SO) and Austin Ross (SV, 1, IP) to lock down the Generals in three perfect innings. Biloxi will try to pull ahead in the series with RHP Jacob Barnes (0-4, 4.79) taking the mound against LHP Scott DeCocco (0-2, 7.59). First pitch is scheduled for 11:05 AM, with coverage beginning at 10:50 on 1240-AM WGCM, 1580-AM WPMO and the Biloxi Shuckers Radio Network. Fans can also listen to the game using the TuneIn Radio app or by going to www.biloxishuckers.com. Biloxi Box Score CF Tyrone Taylor finally lifted to leadoff, hopefully will get him going; reminder: Orlando Arcia is 20 years old... Biloxi Game Log RHP Tyler Wagner's WHIP remained steady at a pretty 1.07; 65 of RHP Austin Ross' appearances in pro ball have been starts, this was his first save...

Final: Colorado Springs 10, Memphis 3 Sky Sox Pile The Runs On Late In 10-3 Win Over Redbirds Colorado Springs' Offense Scores In It's Final Four Frames to Steal Win By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/5/7/6/124076576/cuts/04_11_073_pk_17tnue3n_hk3m8iyu.jpg Ben Guez went 3-for-3 with a walk, stolen base, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 Sky Sox win. (Photo by Paat Kelly) COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - The Sky Sox looked to be outmatched early in what would turn into a 10-3 come-from-behind victory against the Memphis Redbirds before a crowd of 4,207 at Security Service Field on Tuesday night. Memphis left-hander John Gast would carve through the Sox offense in his first four innings of work, allowing just three hits while striking out a whopping seven batters over those frames. In his fourth appearance for Colorado Springs, Tyler Thornburg tossed six strong innings of two-run ball on seven hits and a walk, tallying four strikeouts along the way. The two runs allowed by the right-hander came on a third inning mistake pitch to Redbirds right-fielder Stephen Piscotty, who drove the first offering of the at-bat over the left field wall for a two-run home run that scored Ed Easley and gave Memphis it's lone lead of the ballgame at 2-0. The Sky Sox would finally break through against Gast in the home fifth. In the middle of a perfect night at the plate, Ben Guez would lead off the fifth with a bunt single and advance to third on a Gast throwing error. The game's other offensive hero, Matt Long, followed with a sacrifice fly to center to plate Guez and cut the Colorado Springs deficit to one. Still pitching effectively, Gast remained on the mound for Memphis in the sixth and quickly retired the inning's first two batters. The turning point of the game would come in the very next at-bat, courtesy of Matt Clark. After immediately falling behind 0-2, the slugging first baseman with a flare for the dramatic would belt Gast's next pitch an estimated 443 feet over the right field fence, knotting the ballgame at two through six to give the Sox new life. Scoring in their third-consecutive inning, Colorado Springs tacked on two more runs in the home seventh off of Redbirds reliever Keith Butler (0-2, 9.00) to take their first lead off the ballgame. After a Pete Orr triple and Guez walk opened the inning, Long would line a base-hit to right field to score Orr. In his first at-bat since being put in the game, Donnie Murphy followed with an RBI groundout to short, giving the Sox a 4-2 lead. Jed Bradley (1-2, 9.45) came on in relief of Thornburg to start the seventh inning. After a scoreless seventh, the left-hander would allow his first two batters to reach in the eighth before being lifted for Michael Kirkman. Rick Sweet's other lefty reliever worked into, and out of, more trouble after taking over with two on and no out. Kirkman would walk his first batter to load the bases before striking out third baseman Scott More for the first out of the frame. Kirkman could not keep Memphis off the board however, hitting shortstop Greg Garcia with a pitch to force home a run, cutting the Sky Sox lead to 4-3. The 6-foot-4 veteran would escape the inning without further damage to maintain the slim one-run lead. Bradley would finish with an interesting line en route to picking up the win, tossing 1+ innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk. Clinging to a one-run lead, the Sox lineup poured on the offense in the home eighth, scoring six runs on four hits and three walks in the frame. Orr notched his 15th, and most painful, RBI of the season on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch before Guez followed with a two-run double off the right-centerfield wall. Long would cap his day in the next at-bat, plating Orr and the speedy Guez on a bloop single to shallow right, giving him four RBI on the game and his team a late 9-3 lead. Luis Sardinas added an RBI groundout to round out the scoring. Memphis lefty Nick Greenwood would be charged with all of the runs scored in the inning after being relieved by right-hander Kurt Heyer to limit the damage. With a 10-3 lead, Sox closer Corey Knebel took the hill in a non-save situation to close out the game. Knebel allowed one hit while notching a strikeout in a quick ninth, securing the ballgame for Colorado Springs in a thrilling comeback victory. With the Sox win, Memphis and Colorado Springs both move to 12-20 on the season. Drew Gagnon (1-3, 5.34) and Redbirds righty Zach Petrick (0-3, 5.76) will face off in game two of this four-game series on Wednesday morning as the Sky Sox look for their first three-game winning streak of the season. First pitch is scheduled for 11:05 AM MDT (12:05 PM Central) at Security Service Field. Colorado Springs Box Score Excellent odds that RHP Tyler Thornburg will be a Brewer rotation mainstay soon enough; not an ideal situation with Jed Bradley yanked for another southpaw; kuoos to the five guys with big offensive nights, mentioned prominently above, including the bottom three in the order...

Final: Jackson 8, Biloxi 3 Shuckers drop opener to Generals 8-3 on Monday Yadiel Rivera goes 3-for-5 with a pair of runs in loss Biloxi Shuckers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/6/1/0/123841610/cuts/DSC_0074_r8ugumdu_locapf91.JPG Yadiel Rivera was 3-for-5 with two runs scored in the loss on Monday night (Photo by Elisabetta Zengarro) JACKSON, TN - The Biloxi Shuckers fought back early, but fell short in Tuesday night's series opener with the Jackson Generals, 8-3, at The Ballpark at Jackson. The loss, paired with a win by the Mobile BayBears, dropped the Shuckers into second place in the Southern League South division by ½ a game. Monday marked the first meeting with a North Division opponent and playing by American League rules. The Shuckers turned a franchise-best four double plays in the loss. Brooks Hall (L, 4-1) posted his shortest outing of the season, allowing four runs on five hits, two walks and a strike out on 54 pitches. The righty's outing was just the third time this year a Biloxi starter failed to make it to the fifth inning. Jackson (12-16) opened up the scoring in the home-half of the first when leadoff man Tyler Smith doubled, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jack Reinheimer, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Dario Pizzano. The Generals added on another run in the second off of Jordy Lara's solo homer. Biloxi (18-13) responded with two runs in the third to tie the game with a two-out rally. Yadiel Rivera (3x5, 2 R, 2B, SB) singled, the second baseman stole second two batters later with Nick Ramirez (2x4, RBI, R, BB) at the dish, who singled in Rivera to put the Shuckers on the board. Michael Reed (1x3, RBI, 3B, BB, SB) collected his first triple of the year and brought home Ramirez to tie the game. The Generals got both runs back in the bottom-half of the third when Reinheimer doubled to lead off the frame and came around to score on a high fly to right that Reed lost in the sky and landed on the warning track, which turned into a RBI triple by Dario Pizzano. The 23-year-old extended his hitting streak to a league-best 21 games. An error on Orlando Arcia (1x4, BB, SB) two batters later allowed Pizzano to score. The Shuckers cut the lead in half in the top of the fifth after Rivera and Arcia had back-to-back singles to start the offense, and accomplished a double steal with one out. A walk to Ramirez loaded the bases with one out for Taylor Green (0x2, RBI, BB), who hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring in Rivera. Once again, Jackson would get the run back in their half of the inning on a RBI double off the bat of DJ Peterson to score Pizzano. Jackson would tack on two more runs in the eighth off a two-run shot from Reinheimer, and add another in the eighth on a RBI single by Dan Paolini. The Shuckers will try to even up the series with RHP Tyler Wagner (4-0, 1.50), facing off against LHP Misael Siverio (1-2, 4.15). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM, with coverage beginning at 6:50 on 1240-AM WGCM and the Biloxi Shuckers Radio Network. Fans can also listen to the game using the TuneIn Radio app or by going to www.biloxishuckers.com. Biloxi Box Score Shuckers turned four double plays, were successful in all three of their basestealing attempts, had 14 baserunners via hit or walk, and yet still lost by five; it's time to really take note of Tyrone Taylor's incredibly quiet spring -- 0-for-4 here with three K's. Strikeouts not the problem for him up until tonight, but we need to temper the timeline for the 21-year-old; at this point, we just need to see production at the plate and/or the basepaths (just 4 XBH's, just two SB's).
