Happy Birthday to two farmhands, who we're not quite sure of their status --

By Biloxi Shuckers

Biloxi Box Score

 

After three straight rainouts, the Shuckers came back cold, managing only five hits and one run in a 2-1 lose to Mobile.

 

Aaron Wilkerson was solid on the mound for the Shuckers, throwing 5.1 IP and allowing only two earned runs on seven hits and a walk. He would take the lose.

 

Offensively, the Shuckers just could not get big base hits when needed. They were 1-6 with runners in scoring position. Javier Betancourt (2-3, 2B) lead Biloxi’s offense with a pair of hits. Johnny Davis (1-2, BB) also got on base twice.

 

Biloxi Game Log

 

Biloxi had a chance to do some damage in the 5th inning when they got two runners on with only one out. But Mauricio Dubon struck out and Dustin DeMuth grounded out to end the opportunity.

Final: DSL Indians 19, DSL Indians/Brewers 8

 

The Indians scored 19 runs on 17 hits as they topped the co-op team 19-8 in a slugfest on Saturday. Luis Cordero saw his record fall to 0-3 as he got the start and gave up six runs (only one was earned) over 2.2 innings of work. Designated hitter Antonio Perez finished 1-for-3 with a home run and a sac fly while catcher Bryan Torres added a single and a double in five trips to the plate.

The Tigers scored five runs in the fourth inning as they went on to defeat the Brewers by a score of 7-3. Freisis Adames got the starting nod and suffered the loss, going three innings and giving up five runs, three earned. Shortstop Victor Maria and centerfielder Pablo Abreu each finished 2-for-5 with a double while Bryan Connell added a single and two walks. 17-year-old Elian Gonzalez, who made his debut as a pinch-runner yesterday, got his first start and went 0-for-4 with a walk as the team's leadoff hitter.

Shuckers lose second game of double header, 6-3

Jorge Lopez walks five in lose

 

Biloxi Box Score

 

Jorge Lopez took the brunt of the damage for Biloxi in the second game of a double header with the Mobile BayBears. The Shuckers were defeated 6-3, with Lopez giving up five runs in 5.2 innings of work. His control was clearly not there as he surrendered six hits and walked five while taking lose. He is now 3-6 with a 5.40 ERA for the season.

 

The Shuckers managed three runs despite only getting five hits. Michael Choice (2-4), Jacob Nottingham (1-2, 2B, BB) and Wendell Rijo (1-2, 2B, BB) were the top bats for the Shuckers.

 

Mauricio Dubon (1-4) stole his 30th base of the season in the 2nd inning.

 

After being rained out for three straight games, the Shuckers managed only 10 hits in today’s doubleheader - losing both games.

Biloxi managed too score twice in the 6th inning to pull within one run of Mobile. However, the BayBears would add a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning to quash any hope for the Schuckers.

Supak allows two home runs in 5-2 twin bill opening loss

Friday's suspended game was finished on Saturday and featured a two hour and six minute delay

Trey Supak (6 1/3 IP, 4 R, 4 H, 3 BB, 6 K) continued the game from Cody Ponce, who went two hitters yesterday before the game was suspended. Supak had command issues pretty much the whole game which has characterized him the entire time he has spent with Carolina. Here he was hurt by 2 gopher balls. Brad Kuntz worked 2 innings in relief yielding one run.

 

Luis Aviles went 3-4 and Carlos Belonis went 2-4. Corey Ray had one of his down games (0-4, 3 K) but did make some nice catches in center field.

Final: Oklahoma City 11, Colorado Springs 2

 

Sox Drop Series Opener

Nieuwenhuis has three-hit night as division lead shrinks to one game

By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox

 

Robby kept it brief, thankfully it seems.

 

Forrest Snow, not Brent Suter (who starts Sunday), got the opening nod, and all seven men Snow retired were via strikeout. Unfortunately, he also allowed six hits, including two home runs, a walk, and six runs.

 

Brett can be spectacular but erratic:

 

FIELDING

E: Phillips, B (5, throw).

Outfield assists: Phillips, B (Freeman at home).

 

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

Nick Noonan had a pinch-hit double in his Springs return (see our transaction post from Friday evening).

 

The Sky Sox will need to make a roster move when Suter's return from his Milwaukee option is official on Sunday. Gotta love minor league player movement, Colorado Springs' roster went from 21 to 26 in a matter of days.

Kane County Closes in on Playoff Spot with 14-2 Win over Wisconsin

Rattlers trailed 10-0 after four innings and lost for ninth straight time

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

Wisconsin Boxscore

 

Wisconsin just keeps getting beat up. They've gone from a couple of games over .500 to 15 games under .500 in the course of about 4 weeks. It remains to be seen if the Brewers will shake up their roster for the second half, or let the guys that are there try to get back on course. The pitching in particular has been disappointing. Of the 15 pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched, 11 have an ERA of 4.50 or worse.

 

I'll let you read Chris Mehring's recap again, and as Jim mentioned yesterday, he has the patience of a saint.

 

Wisconsin Game Log

[And That]

Including the DSL teams, the Brewers' system dropped to a game under .500 for the first time this season.

[brewmann04]

the brewers minor league system a bit dissaopinted this half of the season,i know it not abour only winning but i hope things change in season 2

[MadThinker88]

Including the DSL teams, the Brewers' system dropped to a game under .500 for the first time this season.

 

Actually it is the full season clubs that are a combined game under..

The DOSL team puts them at .500 thru yesterday..

[And That]

The DSL teams are .500, 7-6 and 6-7. So they're a game under with or without.
