Happy 19th Birthday to Maryvale catcher Moises Perez

[Mass Haas]

You will notice both DSL games were placed in suspended mode Thursday AM, so we'll wait until sometime Friday to report on what should be a series of four combined completed games, weather permitting.

It looks like Ventura had a perfect game going into the 7th and gave up a homerun and took the loss. Too bad...

[LouisEly]

Ventura - one hit through six, a HR

Pennington - one hit through five, a HR

Medeiros - one hit (so far) through four, a 3B

 

Who the heck are these I-Cubs pitchers who have stymied the Sky Sox the last three days?

[Mass Haas]

Love the intensity of a 12-year-old Cooper Hummel!

The Shuckers also got an insurance run off the bat of Blake Allemand, but it ended up not being needed as Jorge Lopez shut the door 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 10th. Aaron Wilkerson went a solid six innings while giving up two runs. The Shucker's bullpen tossed a combined four innings of scoreless ball.

 

Pitching Summary:

Wisconsin Game Two Box Score

 

No Keston Hiura in either game of the doubleheader - one figures he might have had a scheduled sit-out after playing in the field for the first time, but then Wednesday's rainout would have taken care of that.

 

Wisconsin Game Two Game Log

 

When you read the circumstances of how Beloit scored their runs in that game summary linked above, it's certainly frustrating. Then again, need to score more than one run.

[Mass Haas]

AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "This week’s Chat with Matt Erickson covers Keston Hiura’s first game in the field, Devin Hairston, Zach Clark, Josh Pennington, updates on Cameron Roegner and Tucker Neuhaus, and the Rattlers being in the pennant race."

 

In very vague terms, we learn Roegner is likely done for 2017. Better news on Neuhaus.

AUDIO via the Shuck Dynasty Soundcloud: "Radio highlights from Thursday night's Biloxi 4-2 win over Jackson in extras."

[Mass Haas]

No Keston Hiura in either game of the doubleheader - one figures he might have had a scheduled sit-out after playing in the field for the first time, but then Wednesday's rainout would have taken care of that.

 

This tweet says Hiura is "tender".

Helena Box Score

 

CF Tristen Lutz, again batting 3rd, was 2-for-4; RF Jose Gomez and his reduced-frame mini-strike zone walked three times, but that hasn't been a huge part of his game, 15 walks in 124 AB's.

Final, Game One: Iowa 1, Colorado Springs 0 (walk-off loss)

 

 

That's right, RHP Angel Ventura retired the first 18 men he faced, and he walks off a losing pitcher on one pitch.

 

Colorado Springs Game One Box Score

Ivan De Jesus, Jr. had two hits and Kirk Nieuwenhuis reached all three times up, but the Sky Sox stranded six (0-for-7 with RISP).

Via the Sky Sox:

 

Ivan De Jesus tallied another hit in the sixth inning of game two, ending the night by recording three of the five total hits for the Sky Sox (71-51)in the twinbill. Brett Phillips recorded the other hit of game two and has hit safely in seven of the last 10 games.
