Astros Minor League Playoff Recaps

California League Championship Series Game 4: Visalia 11, Lancaster 3 (Series tied 2-2)

W- Spencer Arroyo
L- Kent Emanuel

Lancaster home runs: Tyler White (solo in 2nd), Jack Mayfield (solo in 8th)

The wheels completely fell off for the JetHawks in Game 4 as the Rawhide used a 10-1 run from the 6th-8th innings to completely turn the tide of this game in their favor.

Tyler White scored 2 of the 3 Lancaster runs; he hit a solo shot in the 2nd that put them on the board and tied the game at 1. He scored on a Chase McDonald double in the 4th, and in the 8th inning, Jack Mayfield hit a solo homer. Chan-Jong Moon went 2-3 at the bottom of the order.

Kent Emanuel pitched 6 innings and allowed 4 runs (2 earned, 1 inherited runner charged to him) on 5 hits (a solo homer to Raul Navarro that led off the game) and struck out 3. He pitched to 1 batter in the 7th. The bullpen.... failed. Gonzalo SaƱudo allowed a run on 2 hits and struck out 1 in the 7th and also allowed the runner he inherited from Emanuel to score. Zach Morton got 2 outs in the 8th, both via strikeout, but in the process, he allowed 4 runs (1 inherited runner charged to him) on 3 hits (3-run homer) and walked 1. Evan Grills got the final out of the 8th, but not before he allowed the runner he inherited from Morton to score, and then he allowed a 2-run homer to Tyler Baker. Chris Cotton struck out 2 in a 1-2-3 9th, but the damage had already been done.

In the deciding game 5, Kyle Westwood will take on Blake Perry at 8:30.
