Brinson 2-2 with 2 homers before a rain delay.

[Austin Tatious]

Gatewood up to Biloxi and playing 3b. Huge vote of confidence for him on both fronts.

[LouisEly]

Another strong outing for Owenby. If I had gone past 50, he would have been #51 on my prospect list.

 

They don't have the top-end guys, but they have a lot of potential major leaguers in their system.

[dacbrewers]

Welcome to the Springs Mr. Anderson. Brutal place.

Phil Bickford sitting between 85-87. Doesn't sound too good.

[And That]

Bickford wasn't throwing with full effort, which I believe is what Kusiolek meant with the "lower band" part of the tweet. There would be scouting alarm bells going off if Bickford was airing it out and only hitting 85-87.

Mudcats lose 4-2 and drop road series to Pelicans

The Pelicans won Sunday's rubber game after scoring four early runs en route to a 4-2 victory

Corey Ray was 2-4 to lead the hitters. Lucas Erceg had a double in 4 at bats.

Final: Kane County 4, Wisconsin 3

 

Late Kane County Rally Beats Rattlers

Wisconsin Box Score

 

Demi Orimoloye recorded another stolen base to move into third place in the Midwest League with 31 stolen bases on the season.

 

The home run from Devin Hairston marked his 2nd HR, but only his 4th extra base hit since joining the Rattlers.

 

Wisconsin Game Log

 

A familiar story for the Rattlers of late, take the lead early only to see it slip away. As Chris detailed in the game story, a couple of throwing errors on the same play tied the game in the 8th and set up the ultimate winning run on 3rd base.

[Mass Haas]

WV Brew wrapped up his daily Link Report Carolina work for us on Sunday - he'll be offline for some time as part of a move.

 

Huge thanks, not only was he there for us every day, but he stayed incredibly plugged in to the Mudcats via following them on MiLB.TV and audio, and provided multiple insights we would have not known otherwise.

 

Sorry that the prospect-laden team didn't translate into postseason contention, but it wasn't WV Brew's fault.

 

Huge props, sir.

Also, here's an excellent video / article focusing on catcher Payton Henry during the last road trip. And as you just read above, Sunday was another impressive day for the young man.

[And That]

AZL Brewers 9, AZL Athletics 8 (10 innings)

 

AZL Brewers Boxscore

 

I fell asleep with the score 8-1 heading into the ninth, and assumed this one would be an easy victory for the good guys - nothing is easy in the AZL. Jake Smith had a forgettable outing trying to close out the game in the ninth, and Landon Holifield allowed the tying run to score in that same frame. The Brewers were able to win it in the 10th inning after scoring a run and seeing Holifield work out of a bases loaded, no out jam in the bottom half of the inning to keep the A's off of the board and out of the win column.

 

Julio Mendez got three hits for the Brewers, and had the team's only extra base hit as well, a double. Julian Jarrard and Je'Von Ward each had two singles. Jesus Lujano stole his league-leading 23rd and 24th bases on the season.

 

Phil Bickford made his 3rd rehab start, as noted a few posts above. Branden Nunn and Chase Williams both pitched well in relief.
