Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Friday, April 18, 2014

Swept again.




Colorado Springs 10, Oklahoma City 9

W- Greg Burke (2-0)
L- David Martinez (2-2)

OKC home runs: Jon Singleton (6, solo in 2nd), Max Stassi (3, 2-run in 7th)

The RedHawks walked off with another loss as they split the series. This happened after they ran off 8 unanswered, which culminated in them taking a 9-8 lead after the top of the 9th.

Jon Singleton opened the scoring with a solo homer (6) in the 2nd. After that, the Sky Sox went on a 9-0 run and were on their way to a comfortable win. However, Singleton had other ideas. He added an RBI single in the 6th, and then Domingo Santana hit a 2-run double. Santana would score when Jonathan Meyer hit into a force out. Max Stassi then made it a 1-run game by smacking a 2-run homer (3). Gregorio Petit hit the game-tying RBI double in the 8th, and Kiké Hernandez completed the comeback with an RBI double in the 9th. Hernandez wound up finishing 4-5. Singleton was 3-5, while Stassi, Petit, and Santana all went 2-5.

Bobby Doran got shelled in 3.2 innings as he allowed 6 runs on 9 hits (3-run homer) and struck out 2. Rhiner Cruz was the first man out and went 1.1 innings, allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 3 hits and fanning 2. David Martinez threw 3 innings and allowed 2 runs (both inherited runners that scored) on 5 hits and struck out 4. Chia-Jen Lo only got 1 out in the 9th and allowed the game-tying and game-winning singles for Colorado Springs.

The RedHawks will now travel to Memphis for 4 games. In the opener, Rudy Owens and Mike Foltynewicz will take on Angel Castro at 6:05.

Frisco 4, Corpus Christi 3

W- Phil Klein (3-0)
L- Jordan Jankowski (0-1)
S- Matt West (2)

CC home runs: None.

The Roughriders answered the Hooks' 3-run 6th with a 4-run 7th. This was a game that was contested under protest by the Hooks after the 5th inning, stemming from a play at the plate where Tyler Heineman was leveled by Frisco CF Jake Skole.

After 10 zeros were posted, Joe Sclafani led off the 6th inning with a triple. He finished 2-4 and would score the game's first run on a single from Andrew Aplin. Preston Tucker added to the lead with an RBI single to bring Aplin home; he would score himself on a squeeze play from Nolan Fontana.

Aaron West was flying solo last night, as David Rollins is currently on the DL. He started off the game with 4 scoreless and allowed 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. Alex Sogard went 2 innings and allowed a solo homer to Drew Robinson in the 7th, which wound up sparking their rally. Jordan Jankowski got the L as he gave up 3 runs (1 inherited runner scored) on 2 hits, including a 2-run homer, while only getting 1 out. Andrew Robinson got the final 2 outs of the 7th and gave up a hit that allowed the runner he inherited from Jankowski to score and struck out 1. Travis Ballew struck out 2 in a 1-2-3 8th.

Ross Seaton and Luis Cruz will start in game 3; their opponent is TBA, but their game notes say a rehabbing Matt Harrison will be starting for Frisco. First pitch is at 7:05.

High Desert 9, Lancaster 0

W- Scott DeCecco (1-0)
L- Mike Hauschild (1-1)

Lancaster home runs: None.

If I could describe this game in one picture:



Mike Hauschild had a pretty good outing; in 5 innings, he allowed a run on a solo homer to Patrick Kivlehan in the 2nd, 3 other hits, and struck out 5. Tyson Perez worked around 2 hits to throw a scoreless 6th in his season debut. Dan Minor and J.D. Osborne.... had outings that they would love to forget. Let's just leave it at that.

The JetHawks offense was held to just 5 singles and struck out 14 times. They'll look to avoid the sweep as Vince Velasquez and Kyle Westwood will take the hill to face Matt Anderson. First pitch is at 6:30 Pacific.

South Bend 4, Quad Cities 3

W- Will Locante (1-0)
L- Andrew Walter (1-2)
S- J.R. Bradley (2)

QC home runs: Brett Phillips (1, solo in 1st), Jon Kemmer (1, solo in 6th)

Every team in the system pretty much let their games get away late.

Andrew Thurman was solid once again; he's put up 2 nice efforts since starting off with a couple of duds. He went 4.1 innings and allowed a run on 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 8. Pat Christensen came on to get the final 2 outs of the 5th, striking out 1. Chris Lee went 2 innings and loaded the bases twice, but only allowed a run on a bases-loaded walk in the 6th. Lee allowed 3 hits, walked 3, and struck out 4. Andrew Walter threw a scoreless 8th, but he couldn't preserve the lead in the 9th as he gave up 2 runs, which gave the Silver Hawks a 4-3 lead. Walter allowed 3 hits, walked 1, and struck out 1.

Brett Phillips put QC on the board with his first home run as a professional, a solo shot in the 1st that tied the game at 1. Jack Mayfield hit an RBI single in the 5th, and Jon Kemmer connected on a solo shot (1) which gave the River Bandits a 3-2 lead in the 6th.

The River Bandits will look to salvage a game in this series as Jandel Gustave and Kent Emanuel will take the mound. They will take on Ben Eckels at 6:00.
