The first edition of the Lone Star Series in the Pacific Coast League went to Round Rock as they came back from a 6-1 deficit, scoring four runs in the 8th inning to take the lead and the series.

Fresno 9, Sacramento 2

W- Rogelio Armenteros (8-1)
L- Daniel Camarena (0-8)

Fresno home runs: Jack Mayfield (15, solo in 1st), J.D. Davis (16, 3-run in 3rd)

The Grizzlies stormed out to a 7-0 lead and cruised to the win against their rivals from Northern California.

Jack Mayfield got things started when he smacked a homer in the 1st inning. Fresno got three in the 2nd on a couple of sac flies from Garrett Stubbs and Alex De Goti and an RBI single from Myles Straw and J.D. Davis added three more when he whacked a home run in the 3rd inning. In the 6th, Stubbs scored on a botched force out attempt and A.J. Reed drove in the final run of the evening with a sac fly.

Everyone in the lineup recorded a hit; J.D. led the way with a 3-4 night. Stubbs and Yordan Alvarez had two hits apiece.

Rogelio Armenteros went 5.2 innings and allowed two runs on four hits, one of which was a solo homer, walked five, and struck out seven.

L- Daniel Brown (6-4)

BC home runs: Colton Shaver (1, 16 season; 2-run in 4th)

Buies Creek saw a 4-0 lead vanish but they managed to walk off with the victory in the first extra frame.

J.B. Bukauskas allowed two hits, walked four, and struck out seven over five shutout innings. Although he tied a season-high in walks issued, he's really done well to save what was on the verge of becoming a lost year. Carlos Sanabria was the first man out of the Carolina Stros' bullpen and he allowed three runs on four hits (two-run homer), walked two, and struck out one in two innings. The one run that Colin McKee allowed in his three innings of work came on a homer; he allowed two other hits, walked one, and fanned six.

Bryan de la Cruz opened the scoring when he ripped a two-run double in the 1st inning. Buies Creek got two more on the board in the 4th when Colton Shaver launched a home run. Carlos Canelón started the 10th inning in scoring position and advanced on a sac bunt from Jake Meyers, who reached anyway thanks to an error. One batter later, J.J. Matijevic won the game with a base hit that brought Canelón in with the winning run. Matijevic went 2-4 on the night and Shaver finished 2-3 in his first Carolina League game.

Quad Cities 6, Wisconsin 1

W- Luis Garcia (6-2)

Castellanos fanned four in a perfect outing and Mushinski struck out five, working around a couple of errors to finish off the game.

Quad Cities loaded the bases to lead off the 2nd inning and got two runs out of it thanks to an error. Marty Costes was able to reach and the gaffe allowed Alfredo Angarita and Miguelangel Sierra to score. Sierra hit a two-run single in the 3rd and one batter later, Mike Papierski smacked a home run. Sierra finished 3-4 and scored twice, while Jonathan Lacroix went 2-3 with a run scored.

A fast start allowed the ValleyCats to get the win. This victory allows them to keep their one-game lead over Lowell in the NYPL's Stedler division.

Brett Daniels started things off by walking one and striking out three over four no-hit innings. Shawn Dubin was next and he allowed a run on three hits, walked three, and struck out five in his three innings of work. Mark Moclair and Luis de Paula both pitched an inning. Moclair allowed an unearned run on an errant pickoff throw in the 8th but was able to limit the damage. He came on for the 9th but he allowed a single to the leadoff man and walked the next batter, so Luis de Paula was summoned to close it out, which he did without any serious hiccups. De Paula got a force out, a line drive out, and a flyout to finish the game.

Enmanuel Valdez doubled with one out in the 1st and moved to third on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Carlos Machado brought him in with a single. Nathan Perry led off the 2nd with a double and scored as Andy Piñeda took his place at second base. Piñeda stole third and scored on Drew Ferguson's homer. Michael Wielansky whacked a solo homer in the 4th inning. Valdez, Machado, and Alex Holderbach all finished 2-4 on the night.

Nathan Perry drew a walk to lead off the 7th and Andy Piñeda joined him on the bases following a single. Wielansky flew out, but Ramiro delivered the big blow with a two-run triple. Alex McKenna brought Rodriguez in with a double. Dennis smacked a solo homer in the 8th, the first of his pro career. He ended up getting a tremendous reception upon his return to the dugout:

At the @VTLakeMonsters game and @austindennis80 just hit his first homer of the season. @ValleyCats teammates executed a 65 silent treatment. Near-elite indifference. Plus wait time. Fringe average hurrah kept it from being a 70. #MiLB

R.J. Freure started things off with three scoreless innings. He allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out three. Layne Henderson was the first man out of the Tri-City bullpen and allowed two runs on a wild pitch and a sac fly, a single, walked two, and struck out one in 1.2 innings. Cody Deason was next and he allowed a run on four hits and fanned four in 2.1 innings. J.P. France allowed two hits and struck out four in the last two innings.

The 2018 New York-Penn League All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday at Medlar Field in State College, Pennsylvania, the home of the State College Spikes and Penn State baseball. Austin Hansen, Alex McKenna, and Jeremy Peña will represent the ValleyCats.

GCL Astros 3, GCL Mets 2 in 10 innings

W- Jervic Chavez (1-1)
L- Miguel Ramirez (0-1)

GCL home runs: None.

The Palm Beach Stros walked off with a win on Sunday.

Jayson Schroeder and Manny Ramirez both threw three innings. Schroeder allowed a run on a sac fly, a single, walked two, and struck out five, while Manny allowed an unearned run when he threw the ball away on a pickoff attempt. He allowed one hit, walked three, and struck out five. Miguel Figueroa walked three and struck out two over 2.1 no-hit innings, and Jervic Chavez issued a walk in 1.2 innings of work.

Freudis Nova reached on an error and Wilyer Abreu smacked a ground-rule double to start the 2nd. Yeuris Ramirez brought them both in with a single. Abreu started the 10th in scoring position and Yeuris was given a free pass to first base. They both ended up pulling off a double steal and then Rhandall Sanchez was intentionally walked to load the bases. The Palm Beach Stros were on the verge of squandering this opportunity after Hector Martinez went down on strikes and Nerio Rodriguez grounded into a force out, but Carlos Diaz won the game by drawing a walk.

Results for Thursday, August 2, 2018

Nashville 2, Fresno 1

W- Liam Hendriks (3-0)
L- Brendan McCurry (5-6)

Fresno home runs: None.

The Sounds walked off with the win by scoring a run in each of the last two innings.

Fresno had the bases loaded to start the 4th but all they got was one run when Yordan Alvarez grounded out, which allowed Kyle Tucker to score. Jack Mayfield went 2-4 with a double.

Rogelio Armenteros allowed four hits, walked four, and struck out six over five shutout innings. Dean Deetz didn't allow a hit in his two innings; he walked one and struck out four. Reymin Guduan came on for the 8th but only got one out via the strikeout. He allowed a hit and had an inherited runner charged to him when Brendan McCurry induced a pop fly that turned into a force out. McCurry allowed the winning run on three hits, walked one, and struck out two in 1.1 innings.

Brady Rodgers will get the start as the Grizzlies look to avoid a sweep. He'll take on Frankie Montas at 7:05.

Frisco 4, Corpus Christi 1

W- Jonathan Hernandez (3-4)
L- Brock Dykxhoorn (2-1, 7-3 season)
S- Tyler Davis (2)

CC home runs: None.

Tough to win when only three guys get hits...

Brock Dykxhoorn went 4.1 innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits, walked two, and struck out three. Akeem Bostick got the last 3.2 innings and allowed an unearned run on three hits while fanning three.

Abraham Toro put Corpus on the board when he ripped an RBI double in the 2nd inning. Chas McCormick and Alex De Goti both finished with two hits on the night. Carlos Correa went 0-3 with a couple of strikeouts in the first game of his rehab assignment. Well, at least he's progessed to playing games.

Brandon Bielak will get the start in game two. First pitch is at 7:05.

Buies Creek 4, Wilmington 3

W- Enoli Paredes (1-1, 3-4 season)
L- Tyler Zuber (1-1)

BC home runs: None.

The Carolina Stros walked off with the win and got a little payback by taking this series from the Blue Rocks after dropping the series in Wilmington last weekend.

Jake Meyers drew a leadoff walk in the 6th but was caught stealing. Corey Julks got on with a single; he fared a little better in his attempt to steal second and scored Buies Creek's first run on a single from Bryan de la Cruz. De La Cruz led off the bottom of the 9th with a single. Seth Beer followed with a base hit of his own and Cody Bohanek drew a walk to load the bases. Carlos Canelón went down on strikes but Jonathan Arauz was the hero as he ripped the double that brought everyone in and sent the crowd at Campbell University home happy. Julks, de la Cruz, and Beer all went 2-4 on the evening. Julks' stolen base gives him 13 in the Carolina League and 27 on the season.

In his Carolina League debut, J.B. Bukauskas went five innings and allowed two runs on four hits, walked two, and struck out five. Jose Luis Hernandez was the first man out of the Buies Creek bullpen and he allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and fanned three in his three innings. Enoli Paredes allowed a hit and struck out the side in a scoreless 9th.

The Carolina Stros will begin a three-game weekend series with Lynchburg at 6:00 Eastern.

Quad Cities 4, Clinton 2

W- Chad Donato (1-0, 4-0 season)
L- Scott Boches (2-3)
S- Bryan Abreu (3)

QC home runs: None.

The Banditos opened things up a bit with a three-run 4th inning. Meanwhile on the mound, Chad Donato turned in yet another nice start and Bryan Abreu continues to carve up the Midwest League.

Donato allowed two runs on five hits, walked one, and struck out six in six innings. Abreu shut things down over the last three innings; he allowed just one hit and struck out six.

Miguelangel Sierra singled to lead off the 3rd and scored the first run of the game on an errant pickoff throw that somehow made it all the way to the right-field corner. Well then. Ruben Castro singled to start the 4th, advanced on a sac bunt, and scored on Colton Shaver's single. Shaver advanced on a wild pitch and came around to score on a Mike Papierski double. Sierra followed by bringing Papierski in with a single. Sierra went 2-3 and was the only Quad Cities player to finish with a multi-hit game.

Luis Garcia will start the series finale and he'll take on Randy Bell at 6:35.

Lowell 5, Tri-City 3

W- Eduard Bazardo (5-3)
L- Alex House (0-2)
S- Kris Jackson (3)

TC home runs: Andy Piñeda (1, 3 season; solo in 6th), Trey Dawson (1, solo in 6th)

Andy Piñeda and Trey Dawson went back-to-back in the 6th to pull the ValleyCats to within a run... but the Spinners got the runs back in the 7th.

César Salazar got plunked to lead off the 7th and ended up scoring on a passed ball. Alex McKenna went 2-2 with a double, but unfortunately, he got hurt trying to get back to first base on a pickoff attempt. Michael Wielansky went 3-4 with a double and Oscar Campos finished 2-4 with a double. Piñeda also went 2-4; the homer was his third of the season, which sets a new career high for him in that statistic. He hit two in his second game with Corpus Christi back on July 1.

The one run that Alex House allowed in his two innings came on a home run. House also allowed two other hits and struck out two. Devin Conn was the first man out of the ValleyCats bullpen and threw 1.2 innings, allowing two unearned runs and walking three. Brett Conine allowed two runs on three hits, walked two, and struck out one in 3.1 innings. Luis de Paula and Jacob Billingsley both turned in scoreless innings; de Paula walked one in the 8th, while Billingsley allowed a hit and struck out the side in the 9th.

Tri-City leads Lowell by 1.5 games in the New York-Penn League's Stedler Division; in fact, all four teams are separated by just 3.5 games. Brett Daniels will take on Brian Brown in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:00 Eastern.

GCL Astros 5, GCL Mets 3

W- Joey Gonzalez (4-1)
L- Malky Mena (2-1)

GCL home runs: None.

The Palm Beach Stros saw a 3-0 lead vanish in the top of the 8th but they were able to quickly regain control with a couple of runs in the bottom of the 8th.

Francis Martes worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 1st, striking out one. Jose Alberto Rivera tagged in for four innings, allowing a hit and striking out two. Manny Ramirez cruised through two innings but hit the wall in the 8th; he allowed all three of the Mets' runs (one inherited runner charged to him) on three hits, walked two, and struck out six in 2.1 innings. Joey Gonzalez struck out two over the last 1.2 innings.

The GCL squad turned a bases-loaded situation to lead off the 5th into three runs as Juan Ramirez and Freúdis Nova had RBI singles, while Sean Mendoza drew a bases-loaded walk. Ramirez smacked a two-run double in the 8th that turned out to be the game-winning hit. Ramirez and Freúdis both finished with two hits on the afternoon.

DSL Red Sox1 3, DSL Astros 2 in 10 innings

W- Osvaldo de la Rosa (1-2)
L- Jeremy Molero (0-3)

DSL home runs: None.

The Academy walked off with a loss.

Their only scoring play was a two-run single in the 3rd from Yimmi Cortabarria. Victor Mascai went 3-4 and drew a walk.

Jairo Lopez and Diosmerky Taveras both threw three scoreless innings. Lopez allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out four, while Taveras had the same line; he did not issue a walk, however. Ricardo León came on for the 7th but failed to record an out. He walked the bases loaded and allowed two runs (one earned), both of which were inherited runners that were charged to him. Flaer Gonzalez allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out one over three innings. Jeremy Molero got one out in the 10th and allowed the winning run on a wild pitch.

Let's play two on Staten Island!

Fresno 10, Albuquerque 4

W- Trent Thornton (7-7)
L- Brett Oberholtzer (4-9)

Fresno home runs: Jack Mayfield (9, solo in 2nd), Tyler White (14, solo in 7th)

The Grizzlies took two of three from the Isotopes after they were foiled in their bid to sweep a series that occurred seven weeks ago.

Trent Thornton allowed a run on a solo homer, four other hits, and struck out ten in five innings. Buddy Boshers was the first man out of the Fresno bullpen for the 6th but he failed to record an out; he allowed three runs (two inherited runners charged to him) on three hits. Ken Giles took ownership of the 6th and allowed a hit while striking out one. Reymin Guduan worked around a couple of hits to throw a scoreless 7th, striking out one. Dean Deetz pitched the final two innings and allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out two.

Jack Mayfield went 3-4 and opened the scoring with a solo homer in the 2nd inning. Garrett Stubbs added another run when Jake Marisnick grounded into a force out in the 3rd and then Fresno opened things up with four in the 4th, as they got RBI singles from Nick Tanielu and Myles Straw with a two-run double from Stubbs sandwiched in between. Tyler White smacked a solo homer in the 7th and finally, D.J. Fisher hit an RBI single in the 8th and White capped off the evening with a run-scoring groundout. Tanielu finished 3-5 and scored twice, while Stubbs finished 2-2.

Fresno has Monday off. They'll begin a series with the Iowa Cubs on Tuesday.

Midland 8, Corpus Christi 4

W- Joel Seddon (5-6)
L- Jorge Alcala (2-3, 3-7 season)
S- Kyle Finnegan (4)

CC home runs: Carmen Benedetti (4, 2-run in 7th)

The Hooks had to settle for the split as the Hounds teed off on Jorge Alcala and Ronel Blanco. Corpus manager Omar Lopez's day ended almost instantaneously as he got run for a dispute over whether Stephen Wrenn beat a double play in the 1st inning.

Akeem Bostick went five innings and allowed an unearned run on two hits, walked one, and struck out six. Alcala came on for the 6th but his time on the mound was short-lived; he got two outs in the inning, one via strikeout, but not before Midland got him for three runs on two hits. Alcala also issued three walks during his stint. Ronel Blanco got the last out of the 6th, but he too would have to bear the brunt of the Hounds' assault as he allowed four runs (three earned) on two hits. Blanco also walked three and struck out two. Erasmo Pinales was the only Corpus pitcher to turn in a scoreless outing; he worked around a couple of walks in the 8th to do so and struck out one.

Josh Rojas scored the first run of the day when he stole home in the 3rd as part of a double steal with Randy César. Carmen Benedetti launched a two-run homer in the 7th to cut the deficit to one run, but the Hooks couldn't get over the hump. Alex De Goti scored when Aníbal Sierra grounded into a force out in the 8th inning. De Goti finished 4-4 with a double and a stolen base (5). Rojas swiped two bases (17, 29 season). César and Benedetti both finished with two hits on the day.

Brandon Bielak will take the mound for the first of a three-game series in San Antonio. He'll take on Jacob Nix at 7:05.

Buies Creek 10, Down East 7

W- Abdiel Saldaña (8-1)
L- Jacob Lemoine (1-4)
S- Colin McKee (4)

BC home runs: Chuckie Robinson 2 (6; grand slam in 3rd, 3-run in 8th)

The Carolina Stros saw a 7-0 lead vanish... and still won.

Chuckie Robinson had a monster afternoon, but I'll get to him in a moment. Those seven runs all came in the 3rd inning.

Jonathan Arauz led things off with a double and he came around to score the first run of the day on a double from Jake Meyers. Meyers advanced to third on a wild pitch and after J.J. Matijevic drew a walk, Osvaldo Duarte brought Meyers in with a base hit. Matijevic scored on Ronnie Dawson's double and Jake Adams got a free pass to first to load the bases for Robinson, who sent everyone home with a grand slam. After the Wood Ducks fought back to tie the game, Robinson whacked a three-run home run in the 8th to put Buies Creek back in front. Robinson and Dawson both went 2-4 on the afternoon.

Patrick Sandoval went five innings and allowed two runs on two hits (solo homer), walked one, and struck out four. Abdiel Saldaña had a bit of a tough day as he allowed five runs on nine hits (three-run homer), walked one, and struck out four in three innings. Colin McKee worked around a hit and a walk to close it out, striking out two.

The Carolina Stros will look for the sweep at noon Eastern.

West Michigan 6, Quad Cities 4

W- Billy Lescher (2-0)
L- Tanner Duncan (2-3)
S- Will Vest (4)

QC home runs: Seth Beer (3, 7 season; solo in 3rd)

The Whitecaps scored in more innings than the Banditos did. Quad Cities failed to score in a bases loaded, no out situation in the bottom of the 1st.

Seth Beer put the Banditos on the board with a homer to start the 3rd inning. David Hensley followed by reaching on an error and eventually scored on a single from Colton Shaver. Alfredo Angarita and Ruben Castro both singled with one out in the 6th and they both ended up scoring; Miguelangel Sierra ripped a double to bring Angarita in and Castro scored on a sac fly from Logan Mattix. Shaver, Castro, and Sierra all finished with two hits on the evening.

Chad Donato allowed four runs on a pair of two-run home runs, two other hits, walked two, and struck out six in four innings. Tanner Duncan did not allow a hit in his 2.2 innings, but he had two runs charged to him after Willy Collado allowed a double. He walked four and struck out four. Collado allowed one other hit and struck out three in 2.1 innings.

Peter Solomon will go up against Wilkel Hernandez in the series finale. First pitch is at 1:15.

Game 1: Tri-City 10, Staten Island 1

W- Carlos Hiraldo (2-0, 3-0 season)
L- Shawn Semple (1-3)

TC home runs: None.

The ValleyCats scored in six of the seven innings as they disposed of the Pizza Rats in the first game of the twinbill: they scored one run in each of the first five frames and then put this game away with a five-run 6th.

Jeremy Peña returned to the lineup after a week off and led off the game with a single. He advanced to third on an Alex McKenna double and scored the first run of game one on an Austin Dennis sac fly that turned into an inning-ending double play. César Salazar ripped an RBI double in the 2nd. Peña singled to lead off the 3rd and scored on a base hit from Dennis. Michael Wielansky hit a sac fly in the 4th and Dennis stole third and scored on the errant throw down in the 5th. Things got a bit out of hand in the 6th.

Wielansky walked to lead things off and advanced to third when Peña hit into a botched force out attempt. McKenna was robbed of extra bases but Wielansky managed to score, so no harm done. Peña advanced to third on a wild pitch and then Enmanuel Valdez and Dennis walked to load the bases. Peña was thrown out at home on... a play, but Alex Holderbach walked to reload the bases for Carlos Machado, who came through with a two-run single. Ramiro Rodriguez walked to load the bases yet again for Salazar, who capped off the onslaught with a two-run single.

Salazar finished 3-4 in game one. Peña and Machado both had two hits and they both scored twice.

Nivaldo Rodriguez allowed a run on four hits and struck out one in four innings. Carlos Hiraldo allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out two over two scoreless, and Riley Cabral worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 7th.

Game two of the doubleheader was suspended in the top of the 2nd inning. The suspended game will be completed on Saturday in Troy, during the next ValleyCats/Yankees encounter.

Tri-City has Monday off. They'll start a three-game series with the Auburn Doubledays on Tuesday.

GCL Nationals 4, GCL Astros 3

W- Fray Perez (1-1)
L- Jose Bravo (0-3)

GCL home runs: None.

The Palm Beach Stros walked off with a loss on Sunday.

Fredy Medina allowed five hits, walked two, and struck out five over five shutout frames. Jose Bravo pitched 3.2 innings and allowed the Nationals' four runs on seven hits and struck out one.

Carlos Diaz went 2-5 and opened the scoring with an RBI bunt single in the 5th. Sean Mendoza drew a bases-loaded walk in the 7th and Freudis Nova hit a sac fly in the 8th. Freudis also finished with two stolen bases (5) on the afternoon.
