Lancaster - Off Day

TUESDAY'S RESULTS

High Desert over Lancaster 12-8
Tyson Perez (L, 3-1) wasn't able to recreate the phenomenal success of his first three starts as he went to the mound for the fourth time for Lancaster. In 5.1 innings, he gave up six runs on nine hits. Five of Perez' runs came via the long ball. Brian Streilein and Kirk Clark also struggled to be effective, allowing another six runs over the next 2.2 innings. Brad Dydalewicz was the only pitcher not to get mauled as he pitched the final frame. The ball was flying out of the park as the teams combined to hit eight home runs for the day. Down 12-3 going in to the bottom of the eighth, the JetHawks at least made it interesting, scoring five runs in the eighth, including back to back to back solo home runs by George Springer, Adam Bailey (3x5) and Domingo Santana (his second of the day) but the deficit proved to be too great to overcome.

Lexington over West Virginia 3-2
Nick Tropeano deserved a better fate than a no decision, but that's what he got with the blown save from Carlos Quevedo (who went on to get the win). Tropeano pitched 6.1 innings, giving up four hits and a run (on a runner Quevedo allowed to score) with no walks and eight strikeouts. The pitching staff didn't have much room for error as Lexington only had three hits. Thankfully one of those hits was a two run home run by Drew Muren which proved to be the game winner. Five walks and two stolen bases (including Delino Deshields 29th) helped the Legends cause; Zach Johnson got an RBI (his 48th) on a ground out thanks to two walks, a wild pitch and a stolen base in front of him. Jason Chowning got his eighth save, giving up one hit with three strikeouts.

Corpus Christi - Off Day

GAME OF THE DAY
Oklahoma City over Colorado Springs 9-5

What went right: Long balls from Jimmy Paredes, Brett Wallace and Brad Snyder.

Paul Clemens wasn't exactly overpowering in his start, but it didn't matter as his offense came to the rescue with three-run home runs from Brett Wallace and Brad Snyder and a solo shot by Jimmy Paredes. The bullpen only allowed one run over the final four innings. In addition to some great hitting, Paredes stole a pair of bags and Fernando Martinez added a couple of outfield assists to the mix. It was a solid team effort.

Paul Clemens (W, 5-3) - 5IP 8H 4R 1BB 4SO
Sergio Perez - 1IP 2H 1R 1BB
Xavier Cedeno - 2IP 0H 0R 3SO
David Carpenter - 1IP 1H 0R

Jimmy Paredes - 2x5 HR RBI SO 2R SB
Fernando Martinez - 1x4 2B BB 2SO 2R
Scott Moore - 3x3 2B 2RBI BB R
Brett Wallace - 1x4 HR 3RBI 2SO 2R
Brad Snyder - 1x1 HR 3RBI R
Landon Powell - 2x3 BB SO

What went wrong: Brian Bixler was 0-for-6 with three strikeouts, but since he is still hitting .331, I'll overlook it.

PITCHER OF THE DAY
I'm going to declare a tie. Nick Tropeano pitched extremely well and should have gotten the win. Jason Chowning got his eighth save; he has no walks and 19 strikeouts in his last seven appearances.

PLAYER OF THE DAY
Brad Snyder gets the glory for a pinch hit three run jack.
