Final: DSL Astros 6, DSL Indians/Brewers 3

 

The Astros plated all six runs in the eighth inning as they rallied to knock off the Brewers co-op team by a score of 6-3 on Wednesday.

 

DSL Indians/Brewers Box Score

 

Joaquin De La Cruz, Juan Gomez and Jose Alberro combined to work seven scoreless innings but Indians reliever Henry Garcia came on for the eighth and surrendered five runs without retiring a batter. Daniel Acosta followed him to the mound and didn't fare much better, walking all four batters he faced. Edwin Sano had a big day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a sac fly, while Javier Castillo contributed a double for the lone extra-base hit.

DSL Mets2 11, DSL Brewers 0

 

In a game that mercifully ended after five and a half innings due to rain, the Brewers were thumped by the Mets 11-0.

 

DSL Brewers Box Score

 

Johan Dominguez made the start and took the loss, lasting just an inning plus and giving up five runs, four earned. Catcher Luis Avalo contributed half of the Brewers hit son the day, going 2-for-2 while second baseman Victor Maria added a double and Bryan Connell chipped in a single. The Brewers defense was charged with four errors, including two by Maria, as well as Jean Carmona's ninth of the season.

Brewers Lose First Road Game

From the Great Falls Tribune, certainly with a focus on the Voyagers --

 

On most other nights, Anthony Villa's 9-irons that he lofted high into the air Wednesday night would have fallen short of the fence.

 

But on this night, the wind was blowing a steady 18 miles per hour out toward the wall surrounding the diamond here at Centene Stadium, and so the Voyager first baseman's 9-irons cleared it on two occasions.

Helena Box Score

 

Clean defense, balanced offense, a mound start that limited damage, all pretty much wasted by RHP Braulio Ortiz' meltdown performance - Ortiz such a unique Helena placement with a long pro history (7th pro season).

 

Congrats to catcher Payton Henry on his first professional home run, and to 9th round 3B Dallas Carroll on his three-hit night in his professional debut.
