W- Corbin Martin (1-1)
L- Hector Noesí (2-1)
S- Reymin Guduan (1)
RR home runs: Kyle Tucker (4, solo in 5th)
One night after giving up 11 in a span of four innings, the Express kept New Orleans off the board despite being outhit 8-5 in this game.
Kyle Tucker launched a solo homer in the 5th and Myles Straw hit an RBI single in the 8th. Drew Ferguson went 2-3 with a double.
Corbin Martin allowed six hits, walked one, and struck out six over five shutout innings; he also picked off two runners. Cionel Pérez tagged in for three innings and allowed a hit while striking out two, and Reymin Guduan completed the shutout by allowing a hit and striking out one in the 9th.
Rogelio Armenteros will take on former Astros farmhand Elieser Hernández in game three. First pitch is at 7:05.
Corpus Christi 4, Northwest Arkansas 3
W- Brandon Bielak (1-0)
L- Conner Greene (2-1)
S- Colin McKee (2)
CC home runs: None.
The Hooks scored in just one inning on Thursday but it was enough for them to win the game and the series.
J.B. Bukauskas has struggled to open 2019 and I am definitely putting it lightly when I say that. However, he turned in what was easily his best outing of the season as he went four innings and allowed an unearned run on a sac fly, a double, walked two, and struck out nine. Brandon Bielak was the first man out of the Corpus bullpen and went 3.2 innings, allowing two runs on four hits, walking three, and striking out two. Colin McKee got the final four outs of the game to earn the save; he walked two and struck out one.
All four of Corpus Christi's runs in this game came in the 6th inning. Ronnie Dawson led off the inning by drawing a walk and then he moved to second on a bunt single from Stephen Wrenn. They both advanced on a wild pitch and Dawson scored the Hooks' first run on a single from Abraham Toro. Granden Goetzman ripped a double to bring Wrenn home. J.J. Matijevic struck out, but Chas McCormick followed with a two-run single that put the Hooks in front. McCormick, Wrenn, and Toro all finished with two hits on the night.
José Hernández-Urquidy will start the opener of a four-game series with Tulsa at 7:15. Bryan Abreu is also scheduled to appear for his Texas League debut.
Fayetteville 7, Frederick 1
W- Enoli Paredes (1-0)
L- Cameron Bishop (0-1)
Fayetteville home runs: Bryan de la Cruz (2, solo in 3rd), Seth Beer (4, solo in 3rd), Jake Adams (4, solo in 7th), Jacob Meyers (1, solo in 8th)
The Woodpeckers bashed four home runs on their way to sweeping a series at SEGRA Stadium for the first time.
Jonathan Arauz opened the scoring with an RBI single in the 2nd inning. Bryan de la Cruz smacked a homer to lead off the 3rd and Seth Beer launched a solo shot of his own later in the inning. Beer added a sac fly to his ledger in the 5th and Jake Adams also struck with an RBI single. Adams whacked a solo homer in the 7th and Jacob Meyers capped off the evening with a solo blast in the 8th inning. Meyers went 3-4 and scored twice, while Adams and Arauz both finished with two hits apiece.
Enoli Paredes allowed just one hit, walked two, and struck out seven over 5.1 shutout innings. Jacob Billingsley, in his season debut, went 2.1 innings and allowed an unearned run on an error, walked one, and struck out six. Hunter Martin allowed a hit and walked one over the final 1.1 innings.
Next up for the Woodpeckers is the first edition of the Lone Star Series in North Carolina in 2019 as they travel to Kinston for a three-game series with the Down East Wood Ducks. Whoever gets the start for Fayetteville will take on Reid Anderson at 7:00 Eastern.
Clinton 7, Quad Cities 2
W- Tyler Jones (1-1)
L- Joey Gonzalez (0-1, 0-2 season)
QC home runs: None.
The LumberKings scored five runs in the final two innings to bust open what had been a 2-2 game.
Brett Conine had another strong outing as he allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and struck out nine in six innings of work. Joey Gonzalez bore the brunt of Clinton's late-inning assault and I'll just leave it at that. Devin Conn got the last out of the 9th with a strikeout, but the damage was done.
David Hensley went 3-4 and he scored the first run of the afternoon when Alex Holderbach grounded into a double play in the 2nd inning. Holderbach, who finished 2-4, hit an RBI single in the 6th.
Cody Deason takes on Alberto Guerrero in game two of this series. First pitch is at 6:35. Finally, the River Bandits will have a game at Modern Woodmen Park for the first time this season.
