Corpus sweep!


Round Rock 10, Iowa 8

W- Colin McKee (3-3)
L- Colin Rea (11-3)
S- Dean Deetz (1)

RR home runs: Derek Fisher (13, 2-run in 1st), Taylor Jones (18, 2-run in 5th)

The E-Train came out on top of this slugfest as eight of their twelve hits went for extra bases.

Derek Fisher opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the 1st inning. Nick Tanielu scored when Jamie Ritchie grounded into a double play in the 2nd. Round Rock got four in the 5th as Jack Mayfield ripped a two-run double and then he came around to score when Taylor Jones launched a home run. Alex De Goti lashed an RBI double in the 6th and Mayfield brought him in with his second double of the night. Tanielu capped off the evening with an RBI double in the 7th.

All three of Tanielu's hits were doubles. Mayfield also had three hits on the night; two of his were doubles. Jones and De Goti had two hits apiece.

Ryan Hartman went four innings and allowed five runs on eight hits (three solo homers), walked two, and struck out four. Colin McKee was the first man out of the Round Rock bullpen and he allowed three runs on three hits, walked three, and struck out two in 1.2 innings. Ralph Garza Jr. was next; he allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out in 1.1 innings. Dean Deetz allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out three over two scoreless to get the save.

Brandon Bielak gets the start in game two. First pitch is at 7:08.

Corpus Christi 18, Northwest Arkansas 6

W- Tommy DeJuneas (2-5)
L- Holden Capps (0-2)

CC home runs: Ronnie Dawson (17, 2-run in 3rd)

The Hooks led 7-6 entering the 8th. And then they turned it up to 11. Sorry, I'll delete it later. With that 11-run 8th, Corpus turned this game into a laugher and earned the sweep in this series.

Everyone in the lineup scored at least one run. Stephen Wrenn went 0-4 but he still managed to score a couple of runs and stole a base (19).


Brett Adcock went five innings and allowed three runs on six hits, walked three, and struck out six. Tommy DeJuneas got two innings and he allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits, walked one, and struck out three. Erasmo Pinales and Andre Scrubb both pitched a scoreless inning; Pinales allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out two in the 8th, and Scrubb, in his first appearance as a member of the Astros organization, walked one and struck out two in the 9th.

The Hooks will begin a series in Springfield tonight at 6:10. Yohan Ramirez will take on Johan Oviedo in game one.

Fayetteville 3, Carolina 0

W- J.P. France (4-6)
L- Christian Taugner (4-7)
S- Riley Cabral (7)

Fayetteville home runs: None.

The Woodpeckers got virtuoso performances from their pitchers as they opened this series with a victory.

J.P. France allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out nine over seven shutout innings and Riley Cabral struck out all six batters he faced to earn the save.

All three Fayetteville runs came in the 5th as Miguelangel Sierra hit a sac fly and Enmanuel Valdez and Jonathan Arauz ripped RBI doubles. Scott Manea finished 2-3.

Shawn Dubin goes up against Matt Smith in game two of this series. First pitch is at 6:00 Eastern.

Peoria 7, Quad Cities 6

W- Connor Thomas (2-0)
L- José Bravo (1-4)
S- Freddy Pacheco (2)

QC home runs: Carlos Machado (1, 3-run in 9th)

Quad Cities' comeback bid fell just short.

César Salazar put the Banditos on the board with an RBI double in the 4th inning and Grae Kessinger hit an RBI single in the 7th. Salazar walked to lead off the bottom of the 9th and he scored on a single from Trey Dawson. One batter later, Carlos Machado clubbed a three-run home run to cut the deficit to one run. Unfortunately, that was as close as they could get. Everyone in the lineup recorded a hit; Salazar and Machado had two apiece.

José Bravo went four innings and allowed five runs on eight hits, walked one, and struck out six. Hunter Martin was the first man out of the Quad Cities bullpen and he allowed two runs on three hits, walked one, and struck out two in 2.1 innings; both runs were inherited runners that scored. Devin Conn didn't allow any runs of his own in 2.2 innings, but the runners he inherited from Martin both scored. Conn allowed three hits and struck out four.

Lupe Chavez will take the mound as the Banditos open up a series in Beloit. He'll take on Rafael Kelly at 6:30.

Tri-City 3, Connecticut 2

W- Valente Bellozo (4-0)
L- Zac Shepherd (0-3)
S- Juan Pablo Lopez (1)

TC home runs: None.

The Tigers got two in the top of the 6th to tie the game at 2, but the ValleyCats were able to regain control as they got one of those runs back in the bottom half.

Nathan Perry hit a two-run single in the 1st and Juan Paulino scored on a passed ball in the 6th. Paulino finished 3-4 on the night; he scored two of Tri-City's three runs in this one and also stole a base (8). Perry, Preston Pavlica, and Luis Guerrero all had two hits in this game.

Ronel Blanco threw two perfect innings to start, striking out one. Valente Bellozo took over for four innings and he allowed two runs on four hits, walked one, and struck out six. Juan Pablo Lopez allowed one hit, walked one, and struck out four over the last three innings to earn the save.

Tri-City and Connecticut will continue this series at 7:00 Eastern.
