Corpus Christi 9, Frisco 7
W- Cionel Perez (4-1)
L- Tyler Davis (0-4)
CC home runs: Josh Rojas (2, 3 season; solo in 3rd), Stephen Wrenn (2, solo in 8th)
The Hooks got on the board in this latest iteration of the Lone Star Series in the Texas League, even though things got a bit too close for comfort in the 9th.
Cionel Perez went 5.1 innings and the two runs he allowed both came on solo home runs, which were also the only two hits he allowed. Cionel also walked two and struck out eight. Justin Ferrell pitched 2.1 innings and allowed a hit while striking out three in a scoreless outing. Erasmo Pinales got the last out of the 8th and the first out of the 9th. He allowed a hit and walked two in the 9th and all of them scored on hits allowed by Carlos Sierra. Sierra got the last two outs of the game, one via strikeout, but not before he allowed an RBI single and a grand slam which allowed all three of Pinales' runners to score. Two runs were charged to him on the slam.
It was a huge evening for the Hooks' top third of the order as Myles Straw, Josh Rojas, and Taylor Jones combined to go 8-13 with four RBI and six runs scored. Jones opened things up with an RBI single in the 1st inning. Rojas sent the first pitch of the 3rd inning out, and Straw ripped an RBI double in the 5th. Randy César, who extended his hitting streak to 13 games, added a two-run single in the 7th.
Stephen Wrenn smacked the first pitch of the 8th for a homer. Lorenzo Quintana followed with a single, but Aníbal Sierra struck out and then Quintana got picked off. Straw kept the line moving by drawing a walk and Rojas did the same with a single. Jones whacked a ground-rule double to bring Straw in, and Carmen Benedetti finished the big 8th inning with a two-run single.
Everyone in the Corpus lineup recorded a hit: Rojas (solo HR, 2 R) and Jones (2B, 2 RBI, R) had three apiece, while Straw (2B, RBI, 3 R), Benedetti (2 RBI), César (2 RBI), Quintana, and Sierra (2 R) all had two.
Alex Winkelman will start the series finale. He'll face Wes Benjamin at 11:05 AM.
Carolina 9, Buies Creek 1
W- Alec Kenilvort (1-2)
L- Brandon Bailey (0-4)
BC home runs: None.
The Carolina Stros did not have a good weekend as the Mudcats came in and swept them.
Ugh... I think I'll punt this one away. Alfredo Angarita went 2-5... so that probably qualifies as a bright spot.
Buies Creek is back on the road for five games in Winston-Salem, with a doubleheader on Wednesday. They'll technically be the home team in the second game of that doubleheader because that game was supposed to take place in Buies Creek.
Abdiel Saldaña will face Bernardo Flores in game 1. First pitch is at 7:00 Eastern.
Beloit 3, Quad Cities 2
W- Jared Poche' (1-2)
L- Enoli Paredes (0-1)
QC home runs: None.
Both teams scored twice in the 6th. Unfortunately, Beloit also scored a run in the 7th which turned out to be the difference. And... as a result, the Banditos dropped this series in southern Wisconsin. All three games in this series were decided by one run.
Quad Cities' two runs in the 6th came on RBI doubles from Miguelangel Sierra and Colton Shaver. Sierra went 2-4 on the afternoon; he's finished with two hits in three straight games.
Tyler Ivey was perfect through 5.2 innings and then the Snappers got to him. In his six innings, he allowed two runs on a double, two other hits, and struck out four. Enoli Paredes pitched the last two innings and allowed a run on three hits, walked two, and struck out four.
Quad Cities is headed home and they will begin a four-game series with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Yohan Ramirez will start the opener and he'll face Nelson Hernandez at 6:35.
