Two rainouts... and one team got no-hit.
Round Rock and Memphis was postponed
Due to rain. This game will be made up as part of a doubleheader today, with game one starting at 4:35. Cionel Pérez will take on Alex Reyes in game one and Rogelio Armenteros goes up against Austin Gomber in game two.
Corpus Christi 8, Amarillo 7
W- Ronel Blanco (2-0)
L- Pedro Avila (0-1)
S- Brendan Feldmann (1)
CC home runs: Granden Goetzman (3, solo in 2nd), Aníbal Sierra (1, 2-run in 2nd), Chas McCormick (1, 2-run in 5th)
The Hooks scored twice in the top of the 9th and then had to stave off a rally in the bottom of the 9th to earn the victory.
Corpus got on the board thanks to a couple of homers in the 2nd inning. Granden Goetzman whacked one to lead things off and then Aníbal Sierra smacked a two-run shot later in the frame. J.J. Matijevic scored on a wild pitch in the 4th and then Chas McCormick smacked a two-run homer of his own in the 5th. Abraham Toro ripped a two-run double in the 9th.
McCormick finished 2-3 on his birthday and that home run was a nice little present to himself. The 1-5 hitters in Corpus Christi's lineup (Ronnie Dawson, McCormick, Toro, Goetzman, and J.J. Matijevic) all had two hits on the night, along with Carmen Benedetti.
Brandon Bielak only lasted 2.1 innings and he allowed four runs on three hits (two-run homer), walked four, and struck out four. Ronel Blanco was the first man out of the Hooks bullpen and his first task of the night was to get Bielak out of a bases-loaded jam with one out in the 3rd, which he accomplished without further damaging Bielak's line. Blanco went on to throw 3.2 scoreless, allowing a hit, walking one, and striking out six. Kit Scheetz tagged in for 2.1 innings and he allowed three runs on three hits, walked one, and struck out two. Brendan Feldmann got the last two outs of the game to get the save.
Gabriel Valdez will start the series finale and he'll face Reggie Lawson at 7:05.
Fayetteville and Carolina was postponed
Due to rain. A doubleheader is scheduled to start at noon Eastern time. Game two will start at 5:00 Eastern.
Kane County 1, Quad Cities 0
W- Andy Toelken (2-0)
L- Brett Conine (1-2)
S- Blake Workman (1)
QC home runs: None.
Not only did Quad Cities get held off the scoreboard in this game, they did not record a hit. Well... they have other issues to sort out, namely trying to get to their ballpark.
Jeremy Peña, Enmanuel Valdez, and Jonathan Lacroix drew walks and they were the only three men who reached base.
Cody Deason and Brett Conine pitched four innings apiece. Deason allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out six in a scoreless outing, while Conine allowed the game's only run on a double, walked one, and struck out three. Willy Collado worked around a couple of hits to throw a scoreless 9th, striking out one.
The Banditos will look to avoid the sweep and finally get on the scoreboard in this series at 1:15 as Luis Garcia faces Jackson Goddard.
