Fresno was off
The Grizzlies will do business as the Fresno Tacos as they start a three-game series with Iowa at 7:05 Pacific. Josh James is listed as the probable starter.
San Antonio 2, Corpus Christi 1
W- Jacob Nix (2-2)
L- Brandon Bielak (2-2, 7-5 season)
S- Andrés Muñoz (4)
CC home runs: None.
The Missions took the opener of this series by scoring in more innings than the Hooks.
Both teams scored in the 2nd; Josh Rojas led things off with a double and scored Corpus Christi's only run when Chas McCormick took his place at second by whacking a double of his own. They both finished 2-3; both of Rojas' hits were doubles.
Brandon Bielak went 4.1 innings and allowed two runs on six hits, walked two, and struck out three. Kit Scheetz allowed a hit over 2.2 scoreless and Ralph Garza Jr. worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out one.
Brett Adcock will make his first Texas League start at 7:05 and he'll face Logan Allen.
Down East 8, Buies Creek 4
W- Steven Bruce (4-6)
L- Gabriel Valdez (5-4)
S- Jairo Beras (3)
BC home runs: J.J. Matijevic 2 (10, 13 season; 2-run in 3rd, solo in 9th)
J.J. Matijevic's huge afternoon was not enough for the Carolina Stros as they were foiled in their bid to sweep the series, which also would have clinched the Lone Star Series in North Carolina in their favor.
Matijevic finished 3-4 and was responsible for driving in three of the four Buies Creek runs in this game; he whacked a two-run homer in the 3rd to put them on the board and then led off the 9th with a homer. Osvaldo Duarte drew a walk and scored when Jake Adams ripped a double. Adams finished 2-4 on the afternoon. Buies Creek had a chance to really make things interesting in the bottom of the 9th, but they couldn't capitalize on a bases-loaded situation.
Gabriel Valdez pitched five innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits (solo homer) while striking out one. Carlos Sanabria and Jesús Balaguer both threw two innings. Sanabria allowed two runs on two hits, walked three, and struck out one, while Balaguer allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and fanned two.
The Carolina Stros will head north for a roadtrip. They'll start a three-game set in Potomac at 7:05 Eastern.
Quad Cities 7, West Michigan 4
W- Peter Solomon (8-1)
L- Wilkel Hernandez (0-4)
S- Brendan Feldmann (5, 6 season)
QC home runs: None.
The Banditos took control of this one by erupting for six runs in the 3rd inning.
Peter Solomon wasn't at his best, but fortunately, the offense, Parker Mushinski, and Brendan Feldmann picked him up. Solomon allowed four runs on six hits (solo homer) and struck out three in five innings of work. Mushinski allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out three over three scoreless frames and Feldmann worked around a hit and a walk to close out the game.
Six different players drove in a run for Quad Cities and only one of their seven runs on the afternoon was the result of a hit. David Hensley put the Banditos on the board with an RBI single with the bases loaded in the 3rd. Chandler Taylor, Mike Papierski, and Scott Schreiber all walked in runs, while Jonathan Lacroix got plunked to bring in another run. Logan Mattix capped off the big 3rd with a sac fly, and Seth Beer scored on a wild pitch in the 4th. Hensley finished 2-3 on the day.
After an off day, the Banditos will travel to Burlington for a three-game series starting Wednesday.
Tri-City was off
The ValleyCats will start a three-game series with Auburn at 7:00 Eastern.
GCL Astros 3, GCL Mets 2
W- Layne Henderson (2-0)
L- Jender de Jesús (0-1)
S- Joey Gonzalez (1)
GCL home runs: Freudis Nova (3, solo in 4th)
The Mets made things interesting in the 9th when they cut the Palm Beach Stros' lead to one run, but Joey Gonzalez kept his cool and secured the win.
In his first professional start, Jayson Schroeder walked one and struck out three over two scoreless innings. Matt Ramsey struck out the side in order in the 3rd inning. Miguel Figueroa was next, and he had a run charged to him when an inherited runner scored. Figueroa allowed a double, walked two, and struck out five in 2.1 innings. Layne Henderson went 2.2 innings and allowed three hits while striking out one. Freylin Garcia came on for the 9th and got an out, but he also issued a couple of walks and had a run charged to him when an inherited runner scored. Joey Gonzalez got the last two outs of the game, although he allowed an RBI single to the first man he faced, which resulted in one of Garcia's runners scoring. He struck out the next batter and then got the final out by catching the other runner he inherited from Garcia trying to steal home.
Freudis Nova opened the scoring with a solo shot in the 3rd inning. Nerio Rodriguez smacked a double to lead off the 8th and Hector Martinez came on to run for him. Martinez advanced to third on a sac bunt and trotted home when Juan Ramirez smacked a triple. Carlos Diaz brought Ramirez in with a single. Ramirez and Freudis both finished with two hits.
The DSL Astros' game with the Royals was suspended at the end of the 5th with the game tied 0-0. Alfredi Jimenez pitched all five innings and allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out five.
