Safe to say that the pitchers in this system are good.
Sweep!
Round Rock 11, San Antonio 4
W- José Hernández-Urquidy (2-0, 4-2 season)
L- Thomas Jankins (2-2)
RR home runs: Drew Ferguson (5, 2-run in 4th), Derek Fisher (8, solo in 7th)
The Express went on a 10-0 run between the 4th and the 7th innings to bury the Missions.
José Hernández-Urquidy turned in a dominant performance as he allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and struck out 12 in six innings of work. For Hernández-Urquidy, that's the third time that he's struck out 12 in a start and he was one off tying a career-high that he set with Quad Cities on July 16, 2016. Kit Scheetz was sailing through his Triple-A debut, but that final out ended up eluding him. In 2.2 innings, Scheetz allowed three runs on six hits (solo homer) and struck out four. He left with two men on for Reymin Guduan, who allowed a base hit to the first man he faced. Guduan was able to get the final out of the night without incurring any more damage, though.
Kyle Tucker ripped an RBI double in the 1st to open the scoring and then after singling to lead off the 4th, he came home when Drew Ferguson launched a home run. Tucker hit into a force out in the 5th and an error on the play allowed Derek Fisher to score. Ferguson struck again with an RBI double and he came around to score on A.J. Reed's single. Round Rock more or less put this one away with five more runs in the 7th.
Fisher led off the inning with a homer. Jack Mayfield drew a walk and advanced to third on an error that allowed Tucker to reach. Ferguson followed with another RBI double and then Reed hit a two-run single. Reed advanced to third on a long Nick Tanielu flyball out and scored the Express' final run of the night on a single from Jamie Ritchie.
Ferguson finished 3-5 on the evening and all three of his hits resulted in runs for Round Rock. Reed, Tucker, and Myles Straw all turned in two-hit performances for the Express.
The Express and Missions will play game two of this series at 7:05.
Corpus Christi 6, Amarillo 1
W- Bryan Abreu (2-1, 3-1 season)
L- Lake Bachar (0-2)
S- Cristian Javier (1, 2 season)
CC home runs: Josh Rojas 2 (3; solo in 4th, solo in 6th), Stephen Wrenn (1, solo in 7th)
Bryan Abreu has settled in nicely in the Texas League and in this game, he and Cristian Javier combined to hold the Sod Poodles to just four hits.
Abreu went five innings and allowed a run on two hits, walked two, and struck out seven. Javier took it home as he allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out four in the final four innings to earn his first Texas League save.
Josh Rojas opened the scoring with a solo homer in the 4th inning. Corpus got two in the 5th on an RBI single from Abraham Toro and an RBI ground-rule double from Seth Beer. After Amarillo got their only run of the night in the bottom of the 5th, Rojas got the run back when he whacked a homer to lead off the 6th. Stephen Wrenn connected for his first homer of the year to start the 7th and he scored the final run of the night on Toro's RBI base hit in the 9th.
Toro went 4-5 on the night. Rojas finished 3-4 with the two solo shots and Wrenn and Chuckie Robinson chipped in with two hits apiece.
Brett Adcock will take the mound as the Hooks look for the sweep in the Panhandle. He'll take on Adrian Morejón at 11:05 AM.
Fayetteville 7, Winston-Salem 2
W- Leovanny Rodríguez (3-2)
L- José Nin (1-1)
S- Willy Collado (3)
Fayetteville home runs: Jake Adams (7, solo in 9th)
The Woodpeckers stunned the Dash as they scored three runs in each of the last two innings.
Enmanuel Valdez scored Fayetteville's first run of the night on an Alfredo Angarita groundout. It took a little while but the Fayetteville offense finally woke up in the 8th.
The Woodpeckers loaded the bases to lead off the 8th as Scott Schreiber ripped a ground-rule double, Valdez singled, and Michael Papierski walked. Schreiber scored the tying run when Angarita grounded into a force out that erased Papierski at second base. Jacob Meyers drew a walk to re-load the bases for Jonathan Arauz, who put the Woodpeckers in front with a two-run single.
Jake Adams kicked things off in the 9th with a home run and then Colton Shaver followed with a double. Shaver, who advanced to third on a wild pitch, had to wait a little while before he could score. Papierski and Angarita walked to load the bases for Meyers, who capped off the night with a two-run single. Arauz got a chance for a six-hit night, but he grounded out to first to end the 9th inning.
Jonathan Arauz turned in the first five-hit game of his career. Schreiber, Valdez, and Corey Julks all finished with two hits on the evening.
Brett Conine's fine season continued as he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits (solo homer) and struck out eight in five innings of work. Leovanny Rodríguez and Willy Collado pitched two scoreless innings apiece to seal the win. Leovanny allowed three hits, walked one, and struck out two, while Collado tightroped out of a bases-loaded predicament in the 8th and had a slightly less stressful 9th. Collado walked two, struck out two, and also hit a batter.
Enoli Paredes will get the start in a morning game for Fayetteville. He'll face Lincoln Henzman at 11:00 AM Eastern time.

Brett Daniels allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and struck out four over six innings to get the win. Austin Hansen pitched the final three innings for the save, allowing three hits, walking two, and striking out five.
