Early Runs Pad M-Braves Win in Series Finale

Hiura and Hager Each Add a Pair of Knocks

Biloxi Box Score

 

Trey Supak's second AA game was not a pretty one. The big right-hander surrendered six runs on seven hits and four walks in just four innings. Shucker relievers would hold the Mississippi Braves scoreless for the rest of the game, but Biloxi only managed a single run, going 1-9 with runners in scoring position - and leaving eight batters stranded. Keston Hiura and Jake Hager each had a pair of hits to lead the Shuckers.

 

Batting

 

Keston Hiura: 2-4, 2B

Jake Hager: 2-4, 2B

Tyler Heidemann: 1-3, BB

Troy Stokes Jr.: 0-2, 2BB

Box Score / Game Log

 

The Indians / Brewers bats combined to strike out 15 times without drawing a walk.

 

Second-year CF Bryan Dimas, a switch-hitting 18-year-old out of Panama, was 0-for-3 with three K's. Last year Dimas struck out 95 times in 169 at-bats (not a misprint). So amazingly, Dimas is off to even a rougher start in 2018.

Guess where this one was played?!

 

Wren's Grand Slam Lifts Sky Sox Over Cubs

 

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Sky Sox came away on Saturday's "Avengers Night" with a late 14-11 win over the Iowa Cubs thanks to the heroics of outfielder Kyle Wren and his two-out, eighth-inning grand slam at Security Service Field. The home run was Wren's first of the season and marked his first professional career grand slam. With the victory, the Sky Sox mark their 30th overall win in 2018.

 

The rest of the summary and detailed notes at the link above...info like this and much "Moore"

 

Swiping Bags: The seven stolen bases Saturday night by the Sky Sox ties the team record for stolen bases in a game.

 

We Want Moore: Infielder Dylan Moore has been a hot bat with the Sky Sox since joining the squad on May 10. In 19 games, the Southern California native is batting .348 (23-for-66) over 19 games with seven doubles, a triple, three home runs and 13 RBI with a .403 on-base percentage. Again Iowa in this series, he has gone 8-for-13 (.615) with four doubles, a home run, and six RBI.

That rainout was on the road, although it was still an eventful day at the Rattlers' ballpark, as most of you locals likely already know:
