Tuesday's Results
DSL Dodgers over DSL Astros 10-6
The DSL Astros are very young and very raw, and that is very evident in the results up to this point. Ten runs on fourteen hits and eight walks tells you everything you need to know about the pitching in this one. But there was good offense with Mesac Laguna (2x5, 2B, 2RBIs), Luis Reynosa (1x5, 2RBIs), and Frederick Serrano (1x3, RBI) all hitting home runs. Many of the DSL's best players from last season graduated to the GCL so this team is definitely a work in progress.
GCL Cardinals at GCL Astros - Postponed
Tri-City over Lowell 10-5
I have to go to work today, so a full recap of all the action in this one will not be forthcoming. Five pitchers were used, with Travis Ballew getting his second win in relief. Kenny Long and Blake Ford were the only pitchers to allow no runs. There was a ton of offense as well as only one starter didn't get a hit. Andrew Aplin (2x3 with a triple), Dan Gulbransen (2x4 with 2 RBIs), Jesse Wierzbicki (3x4 with an RBI), M.P. Cokinos (2x4 with an RBI), and Justin Gominsky (1x4, 2B, RBI) all made statements at the plate.
Greensboro over Lexington 3-1
This game was another one that got away. Scoreless through seven, Zach Johnson squeezed across a run in the top of the eighth (his 64th RBI), but for some reason, Luis Cruz (despite having struggled as of late) was put in for an eighth inning after having pitched a beautiful seven innings. After giving up no runs in seven innings, it was determined to leave Cruz in after he gave up a lead off triple. It was then determined to leave him in after he gave up a single to score the man on third with no outs. And finally it was decided to leave Cruz in to give up a two run home run. Then they pulled him. Luis Cruz didn't lose this game, his manager did. I don't normally second guess managers, but really? I have trouble understanding that one.
Omaha over Oklahoma City 5-1
The Redhawks continue to scuffle, losing three to Omaha at home. Armando Galarraga was charged with the loss despite a decent outing in which he allowed two runs over five hits. Juan Valdez, who had been a rock earlier in the season, offered up three runs in 1/3 of an inning to compound his recent struggles. When the only run scores on a fielding error, you're officially in a funk. Brett Wallace was three-for-four with a double and Fernando Martinez was two-for-four.
Greeneville over Princeton 8-7
There was a whole lot going on in this one with seven pitchers sharing the duties and none of them going unscathed except Mike Hauschild who got his first save (Scott Zuloaga didn't allow a run of his own, but he did allow an inherited runner to score). Thank goodness for Appy Astros eyewitness account where he details what went on! Brian Blasik was en fuego with a three-for-five night, double, home run, three RBIs, two runs scored, and a partridge in a pear tree. Marc Wik also had a very good game, going three-for-three with a double, a walk and two RBIs.
Game of the Day
Lancaster over Modesto 15-9
A win is a win even if its not pretty, and Lancaster needed this one desperately to end a 5-game skid to start the second half. Tyson Perez was awarded with a win despite his bullpen allowing five runs after he left the game. Luckily the JetHawks were on a tear and had a couple of big innings as they pounded out 19 hits, four doubles, a triple and two home runs (including a three-run home run by Domingo Santana). Kike Hernandez, just coming off a case of food poisoning, only lacked a home run to hit for the cycle. Every player except one had a multi-hit game.
What went right: Offense and lots of it.
What went wrong: Erik Castro was hitless with three strikeouts, but since he's hitting .297 for the season, I'll give him a pass.

Players of the Day: The entire Lancaster JetHawks lineup gets to share in the glory. Good job, lads!
Pitcher of the Day: Luis Cruz is my Pitcher of the Day. He should have gotten a win, but instead he got a hard luck loss.
