Fayetteville sweep!
Round Rock 9, Reno 8
W- Ralph Garza Jr. (5-1)
L- Anthony Vasquez (3-4)
RR home runs: None.
The Express chipped away at an early 6-0 deficit, pulled even with three runs in the bottom of the 8th, and walked off with the victory in the bottom of the 9th.
Akeem Bostick went four innings and allowed seven runs on six hits (solo and two-run homers), walked four, and struck out four. The bullpen picked him up with five innings of one-run ball to close things out. Kit Scheetz was first and he allowed a run on four hits, walked one, and struck out four in 2.2 innings. Ralph Garza Jr. struck out two over 2.1 perfect innings to earn the win.
Drew Ferguson put the Express on the board with an RBI double in the 4th and he came around to score on a base hit from Nick Tanielu. Kyle Tucker added another run with a single in the 5th and they got a pair in the 6th thanks to an A.J. Reed sac fly and a double from Aníbal Sierra. The E-Train turned a bases-loaded situation in the 8th into the three runs that tied the game. Sierra drove in a run with a groundout, but he became the second out. However, Jamie Ritchie followed with a two-run single to tie the game.
Taylor Jones kept the bottom of the 9th alive by drawing a walk and Ferguson joined him on the bases with a walk of his own. Tanielu sent everyone home happy with an RBI single. He finished 4-5 with a triple on the night. Ferguson went 3-4 with a double and scored three runs.
Rogelio Armenteros gets the start in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05.
Arkansas 2, Corpus Christi 1 (10 innings)
W- Sam Delaplane (1-0)
L- Tommy DeJuneas (0-1, 1-3 season)
CC home runs: None.
The Hooks missed a chance to take control of this game and eventually walked off with the loss in the first extra frame.
J.B. Bukauskas pitched six innings and the one run he allowed came on a solo homer. He allowed three other hits, walked two, and struck out ten. Brandon Bailey tagged in for 2.2 scoreless, allowing a hit, walking one, and striking out six. Tommy DeJuneas got the last out of the 9th with a strikeout but the leadoff man hit the walk-off RBI single against him in the 10th.
Ronnie Dawson singled in the 6th and scored Corpus Christi's only run of the night on a wild pitch. Bryan de la Cruz finished 2-3 with a double.
Yohan Ramirez will make his first Texas League start in 2019 in the series finale. He'll face Justin Dunn at 7:10.
Fayetteville 1, Myrtle Beach 0
W- Brett Conine (2-1, 5-3 season)
L- Alex Lange (1-9)
S- Jacob Billingsley (1)
Fayetteville home runs: Scott Schreiber (3, 6 season; solo in 2nd)
There was only one scoring play in this game and it belonged to the Woodpeckers as they swept the Pelicans out of the Sandhills.
Meanwhile on the mound, Brett Conine, César Rosado, and Jacob Billingsley combined on a three-hit shutout. Conine actually allowed all three hits and struck out seven in six innings. Rosado struck out three over two perfect innings and Billingsley worked around a hit batter to finish off the game. He struck out two.
Scott Schreiber led off the 2nd with a homer and that tally held up thanks to the excellent pitching. That was the only extra-base hit by either side in this game. Miguelangel Sierra had the other two Fayetteville hits.
The Woodpeckers will take on the Potomac Nationals in a four-game series, their last series before the Carolina League All-Star break. First pitch is at 7:00 Eastern.
Quad Cities and Beloit was postponed
Due to rain. A doubleheader is scheduled for tonight with game one beginning at five. Cody Deason takes on Reid Birlingmair in the first game and R.J. Freure will go against Bryce Conley in game two.
DSL Red Sox1 8, DSL Astros 7
W- Isaac Pinales (1-0)
L- José Betances (0-1)
DSL home runs: None.
Unbelievable. The Astros scored five in the top of the 9th to take a 7-3 lead... and then the Red Sox walked off with the win after scoring five of their own in the bottom of the 9th.
Cristian Gonzalez hit an RBI single in the 4th inning to put the Dominican 'Stros on the board. Andrés Monzón hit an infield single in the 7th and an error on the play allowed Tomás Ramirez to score another run. The Astros turned a bases-loaded situation in the 9th into five runs. Yohander Martinez drew a bases-loaded walk to bring in Monzón, who struck out but reached base safely. Two batters later, Gonzalez brought everyone in with a triple and he scored on a wild pitch for good measure. Gonzalez and Monzón both finished with two hits on the day.
Juan de los Santos pitched four innings and allowed an unearned run on three hits, walked two, and struck out two. José Nodal was the first man out of the DSL Astros bullpen and he allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out two in 2.1 scoreless innings. Carlos Calderón was next and he allowed two unearned runs on two hits and walked two in 1.2 innings. José Betances couldn't close it out; he got two outs in the 9th and allowed five runs (three inherited runners charged to him), walked four, and struck out one. Marcos Eusebio issued a bases-loaded walk and the Red Sox hit a game-winning two-run double off of him.
The Astros will take on the Dodgers 1, or the Dodgers Bautista team at 11:30 AM Atlantic.
