Astros Minor League Playoff Recaps

Results for Friday, September 13, 2019

Tough night on the farm.

PCL Championship: Sacramento 7, Round Rock 5

Sacramento wins series 3-0.

W- Pat Venditte
L- Carson LaRue
S- Enderson Franco

RR home runs: Drew Ferguson (1, solo in 2nd), Taylor Jones (1, 2-run in 3rd)

The River Cats captured the Pacific Coast League crown as they scored three in the top of the 8th to take the lead.

Rogelio Armenteros went 2.2 innings and allowed four runs on six hits, walked four, and struck out one. Carson LaRue tagged in for 4.2 innings and he allowed two runs, both of which were inherited runners that were charged to him, on two hits, walked three, and struck out four. Ralph Garza Jr. pitched the last 1.2 innings and he allowed a run of his own on a groundout, a two-run single that resulted in both of the runners he inherited from LaRue to score, walked one, and struck out two.

Taylor Jones opened the scoring by ripping an RBI double in the 1st inning. Drew Ferguson led off the 2nd with a homer and Jones struck again in the 3rd with a two-run blast. Round Rock had the bases loaded in the 7th but all they got out of it was Jack Mayfield walking in Ronnie Dawson. Carlos Correa went 1-2 and drew a couple of walks; he got the start at shortstop and played seven innings.

Round Rock's next game will take place on April 9, 2020.

The Woodpeckers' bats were silenced as the Blue Rocks forced a deciding game five.

Jojanse Torres pitched well but he received a loss for the first time this season. Torres allowed three hits, one of which was a solo homer, walked two, and struck out six in six innings of work. J.P. France was the first man out of the Woodpeckers' bullpen and he allowed a run, which was an inherited runner that was charged to him, on two hits, walked three, and struck out two in 2.1 innings. Yeremi Ceballos allowed a hit and struck out one as he got the last two outs of the 9th.

Fayetteville only had three hits: a double from David Hensley and singles from Jeremy Peña and Chandler Taylor.
