Astros Fall and Winter League Recaps

It's good to be back after spending the past week grieving for my grandpa. Although he is no longer with me, I take great solace in the fact that he is now at peace.

Now, without further ado...

ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE

Salt River 4, Peoria 2

W- Mark Appel (1-0)
L- Jaime Schultz (0-3)

Salt River home runs by Astros players: None.

The Rafters doubled up the Javelinas in the afternoon, but it was Mark Appel's fine start that got the headlines.

Appel tossed 5 shutout innings and allowed just 2 hits while striking out 4. Rio Ruiz went 0-3 with a walk, a strikeout, and a run scored, and Andrew Aplin went 0-4 with 2 Ks.

Both of these teams will play again today at Salt River Fields at 12:35 Mountain.

LIDOM

Águilas 7, Gigantes 1

W- Frank Batista (1-0)
L- Fabio Castro (0-1)

Águilas home runs by Astros players: None.

This game between the two teams representing the Cibao region of the DR was originally scheduled for the 17th but was postponed. Águilas busted out for 5 in the final 3rd of the game (2 in the 7th, 3 in the 9th) to blow open a 2-0 game. Jonathan Villar went 0-5 with a strikeout, but he also scored twice.

Águilas will travel east to take on los Estrellas del Oriente, or the Eastern Stars. Gigantes will have Tuesday off.
