SATURDAY'S RESULTS

Hickory over Lexington 11-2
Jonas Dufek (4IP) and Euris Quezada (3IP) both got roughed up in this one, allowing ten earned runs between them. Even the normally reliable Dayan Diaz gave up a run in the final inning. Matt Duffy hit a solo home run. Delino DeShields, Justin Gominsky and Chan Moon each had two hits. DeShields had his third caught stealing in as many games. Ultimately, this one is best forgotten so let's do that and move on.

Albuquerque over Oklahoma City 7-4
Wes Musick (L, 0-1) hit a wall during his second AAA start, giving up six runs (five earned) on 11 hits over 5.2 innings. Adalberto Flores allowed the final run in his 1.1 innings and Jose Valdez pitched a perfect final frame. It was a quiet night for the Redhawks hitters with Fernando Martinez and J.B. Shuck getting the only extra base hits, each hitting a double. Shuck was three-for-three with a walk for the night.

Lancaster over Inland Empire 5-4 in 10 innings
David Martinez gave up four runs on eight hits over six innings pitched, but only two of the runs were earned thanks to an Alex Todd fielding error. Brian Streilein pitched three innings in relief allowing only one single and keeping the game tied. Pat Urckfitz and Jose Trinidad shared duties in the tenth with Trinidad getting the win as Rene Garcia hit a two-out single that scored Telvin Nash in the 10th for the win. There were several good nights at the plate with Telvin Nash hitting his 13th home run, George Springer hitting a two run triple, Jonathan Meyer and Ben Orloff having two-hit nights and Rene Garcia having three hits, including the game winning RBI.

GAME OF THE DAY
Corpus Christi over Springfield 6-5

What went right: According to Greg Rajan of the Corpus Christi Caller Times, this was the Hooks first win this season when trailing after six or seven innings, but there's a first time for everything.

Jose Cisnero seemed to have turned things around a bit in this start after struggling in his last few as he gave up two runs on five hits in five innings. Unfortunately, Alex Sogard had a tough night giving up three runs (two earned) in one inning and getting charged with a blown save. Fortunately, Josh Zeid pitched two terrific innings in which he gave up only one hit and Kevin Chapman got the win after pitching a perfect ninth. Brandon Barnes hit a solo home run in his finale with the Hooks before earning his promotion to Oklahoma City. Also hitting home runs were Jon Singleton (the two run variety) and Jonathan Villar (the walk off variety). Jake Goebbert was three-for-four on the night and Chris Wallace was three-for-three in his first game since being activated.

Jose Cisnero - 5IP 5H 2R 0BB 5SO HR
Alex Sogard - 1IP 3H 3R/2ER 0BB 2SO
Josh Zeid - 2IP 1H 0R 0BB 1SO
Kevin Chapman (W, 3-2) - 1IP 0H 0R 0BB

Jonathan Villar - 2x5 HR RBI SO 2R SB
Jon Singleton - 2x4 HR 2RBI R
Brandon Barnes - 1x4 HR RBI R
Jake Goebbert - 3x4 2R
Chris Wallace - 3x3  2B

What went wrong: Austin Wates was 0-5 (but with no strikeouts).

PITCHER OF THE DAY
Brian Streilein is my guy for holding Inland Empire to one hit over three innings of relief and giving Lancaster the opportunity to win the game.

PLAYER OF THE DAY
Rene Garcia gets the nod for a two-out extra-inning game-winning RBI single, his third hit of the night.
