Let's play two in Danville!
*Note: Thursdays tend to be incredibly busy at the office so I will usually combine Wednesday and Thursday into one mega-recap. On occasion, I will also combine Thursday and Friday into one if the situation dictates it.
Wednesday: Las Vegas 4, Fresno 2
W- Kevin McGowan (5-3)
L- Dayan Diaz (4-1)
S- Chasen Bradford (10)
Fresno home runs: Teoscar Hernandez (11, 2-run in 8th)
Well, the Grizzlies weren't going to score 21 and 19 runs in the rest of their games forever.
Teoscar Hernandez's 2-run blast in the 8th put them in the lead, but the 51s regained control with 3 in the bottom of the 8th. J.D. Davis went 2-4 in his AAA debut. Tony Kemp had a single to extend his hitting streak to 24 games.
The one run that Trent Thornton allowed in his 7 innings came on a Dom Smith solo homer in the 1st inning. After that, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way for him. Thornton allowed 3 other hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. Vegas got to Dayan Diaz and Jordan Jankowski in the 8th; Diaz got 2 outs, one via strikeout, but issued walks to the next two batters to load the bases, which prompted Jankowski's entrance. Jankowski got the last out of the inning with a strikeout, but not before he allowed a bases-clearing double to Smith and issued a walk.
Thursday: Fresno 18, Las Vegas 5
W- Kent Emanuel (1-0, 6-5 season)
L- Donovan Hand (2-4)
Fresno home runs: A.J. Reed 2 (19; 2-run in 5th, 3-run in 7th), Jon Kemmer 2 (13; solo in 6th, solo in 7th), Reid Brignac (12, solo in 2nd), Preston Tucker (17, 3-run in 7th)
What a roadtrip it was for Fresno. The Grizzlies finished 7-1 and outscored Tacoma and Vegas 86-36 in the 8 games. After getting held on Wednesday, the Grizzlies poured it on one last time in Sin City.
Sadly, Tony Kemp missed out on the party as he saw his 24-game hitting streak come to a close.
Kent Emanuel won his first AAA start, going 5 innings and allowing 3 runs on 5 hits, walking 6, and striking out 4. Jacob Dorris and Kyle Smith pitched 2 innings apiece; Dorris allowed 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2, while Smith allowed 2 runs on 4 hits and struck out 1.
Dean Deetz gets the start as the Grizzlies welcome Round Rock to the Central Valley. He'll take on David Ledbetter at 7:05 Pacific.
Wednesday: Corpus Christi 6, Frisco 0
W- Alex Winkelman (1-5, 3-5 season)
L- Collin Wiles (7-7)
CC home runs: Jack Mayfield (12, 13 season; 3-run in 6th), Jason Martin (7, 14 season; solo in 7th), Dexture McCall (3, 7 season; 2-run in 8th)
Alex Winkelman was one out away.... and then Andy Ibañez had to ruin the fun.
That's right, Winkelman had a no-hitter going for 8.2 innings until Ibañez put Frisco into the hit column with a 2-out single in the 9th inning. Winkelman walked 2 and struck out 6 in the best outing of his career. Andrew Walter recorded the last out of the game by getting Luke Tendler to line out to Ramon Laureano.
Corpus launched homers in three consecutive innings to account for all six of their runs. Jack Mayfield's 3-run shot came in the 6th, Jason Martin smacked a solo homer in the 7th, and Dex McCall whacked a 2-run homer in the 8th. Ryne Birk singled and scored a run in his Texas League debut.
Thursday: Corpus Christi 5, Midland 3
W- Yoanys Quiala (2-2, 7-3 season)
L- Tyler Sturdevant (1-3)
CC home runs: Jack Mayfield (13, 14 season; solo in 1st), Jason Martin (7, 14 season; solo in 9th), Dexture McCall (4, 8 season; solo in 9th)
For the second straight night, Jack Mayfield, Jason Martin, and Dex McCall all homered for the Hooks, who broke a 3-3 tie thanks to Martin's and McCall's solo blasts in the 9th inning.
Jack Mayfield opened the scoring with his solo shot in the 1st. Arturo Michelena finished 2-3 and scored on a wild pitch in the 3rd inning. Mayfield tied the game at 3 by adding a sac fly to his ledger in the 8th. After Garrett Stubbs grounded out to lead off the 9th, McCall and Martin put Corpus in front.
Brock Dykxhoorn pitched 3.2 innings and allowed a run on 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 2. Ralph Garza Jr. was the first man out of the Hooks bullpen and allowed a run on 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 1 in 1.1 innings.

W- Matt Bower (4-4)
L- Kodi Medeiros (4-8)
S- Kevin Hill (1, 4 season)
BC home runs: Anibal Sierra (4, 2-run in 7th)
The Carolina Stros seized control of this game thanks to a 4-run 5th, then tacked on two more runs in the 7th and the 9th for good measure.
Matt Bower pitched 5.1 innings and allowed 3 runs on 6 hits (solo homer), walked 2, and struck out 2. Kevin Hill picked him up with 3.2 strong innings out of the bullpen, allowing a hit, walking 1, and striking out 5.
Anthony Hermelyn singled to lead off the 5th, and then Randy César and Tyler Wolfe joined him on the bases by walking and singling, respectively. That brought up Anibal Sierra, who sent them all home with a triple. He ended up scoring the go-ahead run on a Stephen Wrenn sac fly. Sierra smacked a 2-run homer in the 7th, and in the 9th, Wolfe scored on a wild pitch and Jake Rogers capped off the night with a sac fly. Sierra finished a double shy of the cycle and scored 3 runs. Wolfe and César both scored twice; Rogers, Myles Straw, and Wolfe all finished with 2 hits on the night.

lol
No, I read the box score correctly; Ronnie Dawson homered twice in one inning.
Carson LaRue was the beneficiary of the, um... generous run support. That didn't stop him from turning in a nice outing on the mound; he allowed 2 hits, walked 2, and struck out 2 over 5 shutout innings. Ronel Blanco went 3.2 innings and allowed 3 runs on 5 hits (solo homer), walked 3, and struck out 4. Dustin Hunt recorded a strikeout to end the game.

W- Yennsy Diaz (2-2)
L- Abdiel Saldaña (5-2)

Both teams had one scoring inning. The Lugnuts managed to get one more than the Banditos.
Josh Rojas smacked a 2-run homer in the 8th for the only Quad Cities runs. He and Daz Cameron both finished 2-4 on the night.
Abdiel Saldaña pitched well, but he had a tough end to his night in the 7th as he allowed 3 runs, 2 of which were inherited runners that were charged to him. In 6.1 innings, Saldaña allowed 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. Devon Carr allowed a hit, walked 3, and struck out 2 in 1.2 innings, and Lucas Williams worked around a hit and a walk to throw a scoreless 9th, striking out 1.

Tyler Ivey went 4 innings and allowed 2 runs on 5 hits and struck out 2. Carlos Hiraldo was the first man out of the TC bullpen and allowed a run on 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3 in 3 innings. Luis Ramirez finished it by allowing a hit over 2 scoreless.

Wednesday Game 1: Danville 7, Greeneville 6
W- Jesus Heredia (1-1)
L- Willy Collado (1-1)
S- Landon Hughes (2)
Greeneville home runs: None.
Both teams scored 6 in the 4th, but Danville's run in the 6th was the difference in game 1. The Appy Astros had runners thrown out at the plate twice to end the game.
The Appy Astros turned a bases-loaded situation to start their half of the 4th into their 6 runs. Ruben Castro opened the scoring with a 2-run single and Wilson Amador followed by ripping a 2-run double. Cody Bohanek added an RBI single and Amador scored on a double play. Castro and Colton Shaver both finished 2-4 in the first game.
Felipe Tejada went 3 innings and allowed 4 runs (2 inherited runners charged to him) on 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2.

W- Dariel Aquino (1-1)
L- Kelvin Rodriguez (3-1)
Greeneville home runs: None.
Patrick Mathis got thrown out at the plate to end game 1 and then got into it a little with Danville catcher Drew Lugbauer afterward. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and it sounds like game 2 went along without any escalating tension.
Both teams scored a run in the 3rd; Greeneville's came on a Gilberto Celestino RBI double. Colton Shaver drove in what turned out to be the winning run with a bases-loaded walk in the 8th inning. Wilson Amador went 2-4 with a stolen base (9) in game 2.
