W- Austin Warner (4-5)
L- Enoli Paredes (0-1, 3-2 season)
S- Kodi Whitley (2)
CC home runs: Abraham Toro (11, solo in 8th)
The Hooks battled back to cut their deficit to one run, but the Cardinals got some late insurance runs to sweep Corpus out of the Ozarks.
Bryan de la Cruz tripled to lead off the afternoon and he scored the game's first run when Granden Goetzman smashed a double. Carlos Canelón hit a sac fly in the 2nd. The sac fly would be Corpus Christi's last scoring play until the 8th; meanwhile, Springfield jumped out to a 6-1 lead.
Abraham Toro led off the 8th with a homer. Two batters later, Colton Shaver ripped a double and he came around to score on Ronnie Dawson's base hit. Dawson advanced to second on Osvaldo Duarte's groundout and he came home on a single from Canelón. De La Cruz tripled to lead off the 9th and he scored on a Stephen Wrenn groundout to cut the new deficit to two runs. Unfortunately, they couldn't get any closer.
Enoli Paredes hit his first speed bump of the season as he allowed six runs (three inherited runners charged to him) on five hits, walked four, and struck out four in 3.1 innings. Carlos Sanabria got the final two outs of the 4th, but he couldn't extract Paredes from a bases-loaded predicament without incurring damage. He allowed a two-run single, walked two, struck out one, and also threw a wild pitch that resulted in a run for the Cardinals. Carson LaRue pitched the final four innings and he allowed a two-run homer, one of seven hits that he allowed during his stint on the mound, and struck out one.
The Hooks are back home and they'll begin a three-game series with Arkansas at 6:15. Brandon Bailey takes on Nabil Crismatt.
Potomac 15, Fayetteville 4
W- Aaron Fletcher (1-0)
L- César Rosado (2-2)
Fayetteville home runs: Scott Manea (5, solo in 5th), Chandler Taylor (4, solo in 6th)
The Woodpeckers scored three in the bottom of the 6th to take a 4-3 lead... and then the Nationals ran roughshod all over their bullpen late.
Jojanse Torres turned in a bare minimum quality start on the mound, allowing six hits, walking four, and striking out three. As for the bullpen... some things are better left unsaid.
Both teams scored a run in the 5th; Fayetteville got theirs when Scott Manea launched a two-out solo homer in the bottom half. Chandler Taylor led off the 6th with a home run and Corey Julks ripped a two-run double later in the frame. Taylor finished 2-5 on the day.
Fayetteville is now on its All-Star break. The Carolina League All-Star Game will take place tomorrow in Frederick, Maryland. The Woodpeckers had seven players named to the Southern Division All-Star team: Enoli Paredes, Yohan Ramirez, Jake Adams, Seth Beer, Corey Julks, Jacob Meyers, and Colton Shaver. Paredes, Ramirez, Beer, and Shaver are all with Corpus Christi, so the Fayetteville contingent that's headed to Maryland is a bit smaller.
The Woodpeckers will return to action Thursday as they kick off the second half in Myrtle Beach.
Quad Cities 3, Wisconsin 2
W- José Alberto Rivera (2-3)
L- Anthony Bender (0-1)
QC home runs: Ross Adolph (5, 2-run in 7th)
One swing of the bat swung this game in Quad Cities' favor.
Michael Wielansky went 2-2 and scored two of the Banditos' three runs on the afternoon. He scored his first run on an RBI triple from Trey Dawson in the 3rd and scored again in the 7th when Ross Adolph whacked a two-run home run that gave Quad Cities the lead. Adolph and César Salazar also finished with two hits on the day.
Felipe Tejada went five innings and he allowed two runs on five hits, walked three, and struck out four. Yeremi Ceballos walked two and struck out one in a scoreless 6th. Ceballos last appeared in a game on June 19, 2017, when he was still with the Dominican Summer League club. He did not play in 2018 due to injury. José Alberto Rivera shut things down by allowing two hits, walking two, and striking out eight over the final three innings of this game.
The 2019 Midwest League All-Star Game will take place tomorrow in South Bend, Indiana. The River Bandits had six players honored as Midwest League All-Stars: Jeremy Peña, Trey Dawson, Austin Hansen, Austin Dennis, César Salazar, and Matt Ruppenthal. Hansen will not be taking part as he is now in Fayetteville.
Quad Cities returns to action Thursday as they start their second half in Beloit.
