Oklahoma City 15, Round Rock 6
W- Louis Head (1-0)
L- Rogelio Armenteros (1-3)
RR home runs: Drew Ferguson (3, grand slam in 4th), Kyle Tucker (11, solo in 5th)
The Dodgers erupted for eleven (yes, 11) runs in the 7th to foil Round Rock's bid to sweep the series.
Nick Tanielu lashed an RBI double in the 3rd to open the scoring. Drew Ferguson, who the Giants thought couldn't stick on their roster, clubbed a grand slam in the 4th, and Kyle Tucker launched a solo homer in the 5th inning. Ferguson and Tucker had two hits apiece on the afternoon; Yordan Alvarez went 3-5 with a couple of doubles and scored a run.
Brady Rodgers went 4.2 innings and allowed three runs on six hits, walked two, and struck out three. The Express made an absolute hash of things in the 7th as they also committed two errors in the inning. Rogelio Armenteros, Ralph Garza Jr., and Brendan McCurry all bore the brunt of that brutal inning in some form. We'll leave it at that. McCurry, however, had significantly fewer problems in the 8th as he got a groundout sandwiched between two strikeouts in a 1-2-3 frame. Alex De Goti (yes, that Alex De Goti) worked around a leadoff walk to throw a scoreless 9th.
The Express have today off. Tomorrow night, round three of the Lone Star Series in the PCL begins as they will start a five-game series with Nashville at 7:05.
Frisco 5, Corpus Christi 4 in 10 innings
W- Peter Fairbanks (1-0)
L- Brendan Feldmann (1-3)
S- Blake Bass (2)
CC home runs: None.
The Hooks were nipped in the end as the Roughriders scored two in the first extra frame. Corpus, on the other hand, could only get one of those runs back.
Brandon Bielak went five innings and allowed a run on five hits, walked one, and struck out two. J.B. Bukauskas tagged in for four innings and the two runs he allowed came on a homer in the 6th. Fortunately, he was able to shake that off and allowed one other hit, walked two, and struck out six. Frisco got to Brendan Feldmann in the 10th; he allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out two in the inning.
Osvaldo Duarte tripled with one out in the 3rd and scored the first run of the night on a wild pitch. Granden Goetzman launched a solo homer in the 4th and Stephen Wrenn ripped an RBI double in the 5th. Duarte led off the 10th in scoring position and scored on another wild pitch; this time, he was aided by an errant throw down to third base. Corpus Christi left men on first and second to end the game.
Duarte and Wrenn both finished 3-4 and both finished a home run shy of the cycle. Duarte ended up scoring three of the Hooks' four runs in this game; Goetzman scored when he homered.
Bryan Abreu will get the start in the series finale and he will face Emerson Martinez at 6:15.
Fayetteville 10, Salem 8
W- Tommy DeJuneas (1-1)
L- Jhonathan Diaz (2-3)
S- Willy Collado (1)
Fayetteville home runs: None.
Fayetteville stormed out to a 10-3 lead after the 4th inning and withstood Salem's comeback bid in order to get the win.
Bryan de la Cruz singled to lead off the 1st, but it looked like he was going to be stranded there after Jacob Meyers and Jake Adams struck out. Colton Shaver kept the inning alive by drawing a walk and then Corey Julks opened the scoring with an RBI single. Michael Papierski drew a walk to load the bases for Scott Manea, who came through with a two-run single. Papierski ended up scoring on a wild pitch. Adams hit a sac fly in the 2nd.
After the Red Sox got on the board with three in the top of the 3rd, the Woodpeckers got those three runs back in the bottom half thanks to a two-run double from Meyers, who wound up scoring on an error following a base hit from Adams. Manea ripped an RBI double in the 4th and came home on Miguelangel Sierra's single. Everyone in the lineup scored a run except for Adams. Shaver and Papierski both went hitless but they managed to reach base and score.
Yohan Ramirez pitched four innings and allowed seven runs (five earned, two inherited runners charged to him), two hits, walked five, and struck out four. He loaded the bases in the 3rd and 5th before getting any outs and that ended up coming back to bite him. Tommy DeJuneas allowed two hits and struck out three over three technically scoreless innings, but he did allow the two runners that he inherited from Ramirez to score. Willy Collado allowed a run on two hits and struck out four over the final two innings to get the save.
Brett Conine is scheduled to make his Carolina League debut tonight. He'll go up against Daniel Gonzalez at 7:00 Eastern.
Quad Cities 11, Cedar Rapids 2
W- Cody Deason (2-1)
L- Luis Rijo (0-4)
S- Luis Garcia (1)
QC home runs: Enmanuel Valdez (3, 3-run in 7th)
The Banditos busted this one open in the 5th as they parlayed a bases-loaded situation to lead off the inning into five runs. Getting nice outings from their pitchers certainly helped the cause, as well.
Cody Deason started things off by allowing an unearned run on four hits, walking three, and striking out seven in five innings of work. Luis Garcia took it home by striking out seven over the last four innings; his perfect outing was spoiled by a leadoff homer in the 9th, which was the only hit that he allowed during his time on the mound.
Enmanuel Valdez doubled with one out in the 1st; he moved to third on Jeremy Peña's base hit and scored the first run of the night on an errant pickoff throw. César Salazar hit an RBI single in the 3rd, and then the real fun started in the 5th.
Valdez and Peña led off the 5th with singles and a passed ball allowed them to advance a base. Jonathan Lacroix walked to load the bases for Scott Schreiber, who hit a sac fly to bring Valdez in. Peña scored on an error that allowed Salazar to reach; this was initially scored as a base hit. Marty Costes drew a walk to re-load the bases. Trey Dawson went down on strikes, but Michael Wielansky kept the inning alive by walking in Lacroix. The lineup turned over to Austin Dennis, who proceeded to hit a two-run single. Valdez whacked a three-run homer in the 7th and Dennis drove in Quad Cities' final run with an RBI single in the 9th.
The top three in the order, consisting of Dennis, Valdez, and Peña, combined to go 10-17 in this game. Dennis led the way with four hits, while Valdez and Peña had three apiece.
Brett Daniels will be on the mound as the Banditos look for a series win. He'll face Andrew Cabezas at 12:05.
