Astros Minor League Playoff Recaps

Results for Thursday, September 12, 2019

Woodpeckers one win away!

Mills Cup: Fayetteville 2, Wilmington 1

Fayetteville leads series 2-1.

W- Nivaldo Rodriguez
L- Kris Bubic
S- Humberto Castellanos

Fayetteville home runs: None.

Both teams had one scoring play; the Woodpeckers' yielded more runs and now, they are one win away from defending the crown they won last year as the Buies Creek Astros.

David Hensley put Fayetteville on the board and in the lead by ripping a two-run double in the 6th inning. Chandler Taylor, who scored one of those two runs, finished 2-4.

Nivaldo Rodriguez delivered in the clutch as he allowed just one run on three hits while striking out seven over six excellent innings. César Rosado struck out three in two perfect innings of relief and Humberto Castellanos worked around a hit in the 9th to close it out, striking out one.

Jojanse Torres will take the mound in game four and he'll face Austin Cox at 6:00 Eastern.
