Final: DSL Indians/Brewers 8, DSL Astros Orange 7

 

The Brewers co-op team gave up five runs in the bottom of the seventh, then answered back with three of their own in the top of the eighth to re-take the lead as they snapped their seven game losing streak with an 8-7 win over the Astros.

 

DSL Indians/Brewers Box Score

 

Daniel Acosta worked two-thirds of an inning out of the bullpen allowing one run of his own, as well as a pair of inherited runners to score, but wound up getting the win after the eighth inning comeback. Ricardo Velasquez went the final two frames without giving up a run to earn the save. Ismael Rosado continued his hot hitting, going 2-for-3 with a double and a walk while Luis Avila doubled, walked and drove in a run.

Jose Romero got the starting nod for the Brewers and went five innings, allowing just one run. Silvestre Berroa followed with three scoreless innings of relief before the Mets got to Jesus Brea for single runs in the tenth and eleventh innings.

By Biloxi Shuckers

 

Tayler Scott made his league-leading 35th appearance on Thursday night at MGMP Park (BENTON REED)

 

Biloxi Shuckers Box Score

 

Quick Summary:

 

It was a pretty non eventful day for the Biloxi Shuckers. Jon Perrin had a solid day throwing 5 innings of two run ball and Nick Ramirez continued a fantastic year throwing two scoreless. Unfortunately for the second time in three days the offense was belly up. They had three hits combined none of which went for extra bases. The Shuckers lost 0-2

On the mound, Jon Perrin (5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 K, HR) started the game while Nick Ramirez (2.0 IP, H, K) and Tayler Scott (2 IP, H) provided the relief.

 

Hitting Summary:

 

Clint Coulter (1-3)

Wendell Rijo (1-2)

Gabriel Noriega (1-3)

Mudcats swept in three straight versus Salem

Trent Clark went 3-for-4 with a 2B, 3B and two RBIs in Carolina's 8-3 loss

By Carolina Mudcats | July 7, 2017 12:00 AM ET

Trent Clark batting for the Carolina Mudcats. (NIKOLAUS - Carolina Mudcats)

 

The Mudcats rallied for 3 in the 4th inning to take the lead 3-2 but gave it back in the 6th and couldn't score any more runs. Marcos Diplan (5 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 5 K) took the loss. He put 2 men on in the 6th, both of whom scored when Frank Lopez (2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 2 K) came in. Brad Kuntz and Nate Griep each worked a scoreless inning.

 

Trent Clark (3-4, 2B, 3B) was the big story at the plate. The triple was mis-played by the centerfielder who never saw the ball off the bat but he may not have been able to catch it anyway. It hit close the wall in centerfield on a fly. Jake Gatewood (1-4, 2B) and Luis Aviles (1-4, RBI, SB) also contributed.

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

RHP Tristan Archer the only Sky Sox pitcher to shine, as he normally does -- it's been a rough 2017 for 2016 Biloxi closer Stephen Kohlscheen. And RHP Tom Wilhelmsen has been rocked in his eight Sky Sox appearances to the tune of a 2.50 WHIP and 17.05 ERA.

Late Cedar Rapids Rally Sinks Rattlers

Kernels score three runs in eighth to beat Wisconsin

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

Yeah, that one hurt. Chris detailed it very well as always.

 

Wisconsin Box Score

 

That's 15 HR allowed in 62 innings for RHP Jordan Desguin, that's too many cookies. As impressive as he's been at times, RHP Luke Barker has been charged with four blown saves in nine chances.

 

Nice night for the bottom of the order, top, not so much. First rough night for 6th round SS Devin Hairston (Louisville), 0-for-5 with three K's and his first error.

Helena Box Score

 

RHP Nelson Hernandez again walks no one and is basically Biloxi's Jorge Ortega (recovering from Tommy John) re-imagined; six H-Crew members with multiple hit games, take a look at the top of the lineup.

 

Helena Game Log

[JohnBriggs12]

77 RBI for Cooper on July 6. Yes it's Colorado Springs, but that's an amazing total. Almost as amazing is that he nearly has as many extra base hits (44) as strikeouts (46).

[CheezWizHed]

77 RBI for Cooper on July 6. Yes it's Colorado Springs, but that's an amazing total. Almost as amazing is that he nearly has as many extra base hits (44) as strikeouts (46).

 

77 RBIs is a big tribute to those around him too. This is possibly the best AAA that I can remember that wasn't a team full of AAAA players.

[And That]

AZL Padres #2 7, AZL Brewers 3

 

AZL Brewers Boxscore

 

Thirteen more baserunners for the Baby Brewers, but some late pitching miscues brought the club to their third loss in eleven games.

 

Thursday night marked the first time all season that no member of the starting lineup achieved a multi-hit game. Seven different players had one hit, including a career-first home run from 24 year-old NDFA Julian Jarrard, and a double from 39th round pick Robert Henry. Jarrard drove in a run via sacrifice fly as well. The team drew six walks, including two from 38th rounder Robie Rojas (who also had a single).

 

Joaquin De La Cruz made the start and pitched five solid innings of one-run ball. As is the usual for him, he got six outs via ground ball and none in the air. NDFA righty Kadon Simmons made his pro debut and surrendered two runs in his inning of work.

 

AZL Brewers Game Log

 

Keston Hiura extends his career-opening hitting streak to nine games:

 

AZL Brewers Bottom of the 3rd

Tyrone Taylor grounds out, shortstop Gabriel Arias to first baseman Justin Paulsen.

Jesus Lujano singles on a ground ball to second baseman Kelvin Alarcon.

Keston Hiura singles on a sharp line drive to center fielder Mason House. Jesus Lujano to 3rd. Keston Hiura to 2nd on the throw.

Julian Jarrard out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Tirso Ornelas. Jesus Lujano scores. Keston Hiura to 3rd.
