Swept. Ugh.
Nashville 6, Oklahoma City 3
W- Brad Mills (2-0)
L- Ross Seaton (0-1 with OKC, 0-2 season)
S- Rob Wooten (4)
OKC home runs: Domingo Santana (2, 2-run in 4th)
Since taking the opener, the RedHawks have dropped the next 2. They outhit the Sounds 12-9 but got doubled up in the column that counts.
Their scoring was contained to 1 inning: the 4th. Gregorio Petit doubled to lead off the inning and scored on a Max Stassi sac fly. Jon Singleton singled in between those two plays and came home on a 2-run homer from Domingo Santana (2). Domingo finished 3-4 and is now hitting .293. Petit and Singleton had 2 hits apiece.
Ross Seaton, in his 1st AAA appearance of the season, went 3.1 innings and gave up 5 runs (4 earned) on 3 hits (all homers), walked 4, and struck out 1. Rhiner Cruz pitched 1.2 and allowed a run on 3 hits and struck out 1. Nick Tropeano finished with 4 scoreless, allowing 3 hits and walking 1.
The RedHawks will look for the split as the team of Bobby Doran and David Martinez take the mound to take on Jimmy Nelson. First pitch is at 2:05.
Frisco 3, Corpus Christi 2
W- Luke Jackson (3-0)
L- Brady Rodgers (1-2)
S- Matt West (3)
CC home runs: None.
Frisco got ahead with a pair in the 5th and tacked on another in the 6th as they drew even in the 4-game set.
Brady Rodgers pitched 5.2 innings and allowed 3 runs on 7 hits (solo homer), walked 1, and struck out 5. Alex Sogard allowed a hit and struck out 2 over 2.1 scoreless, and Travis Ballew tossed a 1-2-3 9th.
Joe Sclafani put the Hooks on the board first in the 2nd with an RBI single. Chris Epps hit an RBI double in the 8th. Leo Heras went 2-3 with a double, a walk, a steal (4), and a run scored; he scored on Sclafani's single. Heras seems to be getting himself going after a really slow start; he's now on a 5-game hitting streak. Rene Garcia got plunked in the 5th, and Hooks skipper Keith Bodie got really hot about that. He also made his displeasure of the umpiring known at a few points during the evening. Well, after a, um... spirited discussion, Bodie ended up getting tossed.
Game 3 will be the Hooks' penultimate Sunday day game. Aaron West and Kyle Lotzkar will be today's matchup. First pitch is at 1:10.
Rancho Cucamonga 3, Lancaster 0
W- Lindsey Caughel (1-2)
L- Chris Devenski (1-3)
S- Brian Smith (1)
Lancaster home runs: None.
The Jethawks had some opportunities to get on the board, so it wasn't like they were getting dominated on the offensive end. They had runners on the corners with 1 out in the 2nd, but Bobby Borchering was nailed at home attempting to turn Danry Vasquez's flyout into a sac fly. Vasquez's 1-out double was spoiled in the 5th, Carlos Perdomo was left at 2nd base in the 7th, and they left 2 runners in scoring position in the 8th. Perdomo, who went 3-4, was left at 2nd when Jake Rodriguez struck out looking to end the game.
Chris Devenski went 5 innings and allowed 3 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. Josh Hader finished with 3 perfect innings, striking out 6.
In the series finale, Mike Hauschild will take on Tom Windle at 2:05 Pacific.
Peoria 3, Quad Cities 2
W- Joe Scanio (2-1)
L- Michael Feliz (1-1)
S- Kyle Barraclough (1)
QC home runs: None.
All the scoring was done in the first third of the game, with the Chiefs pulling ahead with 2 in the 3rd.
The River Bandits had some legit chances to put up some more runs in the first 3 innings; Chan-Jong Moon opened the scoring by dinking a single to score Brett Phillips, advanced station-to-station, and was left at 3rd base to end the 1st. After Tyler White singled to lead off the 2nd, he advanced to 3rd on a Jon Kemmer double and scored on a wild pitch. Kemmer wound up being left at 3rd. The River Bandits left the bases loaded in the 3rd when James Ramsay lined out to end the inning.
Brett Phillips tripled to lead off the game and scored on Moon's single. He now has a 5-game hitting streak.
Michael Feliz went 3 innings and allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, walked 4, and struck out 3. Zach Morton came out first and threw 2 scoreless, allowing a hit, walking 1, and striking out 1. Evan Grills allowed 2 hits and walked 1 over 2 scoreless, and Pat Christensen threw a 1-2-3 8th, striking out 1.
QC will look to avoid the sweep as Gonzalo Sañudo and Adrian Houser face off against Chase Brookshire at 2.

3 IP, 6 K
Hader, in 23.2 innings, now has a 35:5 K:BB ratio. That translates to a 13.58 K/9 figure. That's uh.... really good.
