Saturday's Game --

 

[WV Brew]

Carolina 9, Salem 0

 

Mudcats Smash Salem in 9-0 Shutout Win

Carolina totaled nine runs and 14 hits in a rain-shortened victory on Sunday

 

 

This game was called in the 7th inning and I don't think either team was too unhappy about that. Christian Taugner threw a 6 inning shutout in his Mudcats' debut giving the bullpen a much needed rest. Four Mudcats had multi-hit games led by Cooper Hummel and Ryan Aguilar who had three apiece. Cooper Hummel is hitting .301/.411/.496/.908 in the second half and really has hit very well ever since Tucker Neuhaus went down.

 

Christian Taugner: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

 

Demi Orimoloye: 2-4, 2B

Cooper Hummel: 3-3, BB

Ryan Aguilar: 3-4, 2B

Robbie Rojas: 2-3, 2B

Nick Roscetti: 1-4, 3B, 3 RBI

Biloxi Shut Out in Rubber Match

Jankins Turns In Quality Start For Shuckers

Biloxi Box Score

 

Another lackluster day at the plate by Biloxi gets them shutout for the second consecutive game. The Shuckers managed only six hits and a walk, and went 0-6 with runners in scoring position. Blake Allemand had a pair of hits to lead the Shuckers.

 

The Tennessee Smokies weren't much better at the plate - just six hits and three walks - but they strung their damage together to score some runs (several extra base hits, including an HR, didn't hurt their cause).

 

On the mound, Thomas Jankins didn't have a bad day, giving up three runs in 6.1 innings of work. He gave up only three hits and three walks, but took the lose.

 

The Shuckers have lost 10 of their last 14 games while scoring only 27 runs.

Final: Helena 5, Grand Junction 0

 

Bullock Blanks Rockies As Brewers Earn Split

Righty Allows Just Two Hits Over Career Long Six Inning Performance

By Greg Mroz / Helena Brewers

 

 

Grand Junction, CO - In search of his first win of 2018, Brewers righty Justin Bullock turned in the best performance of his young career. The former 16th round pick allowed just two hits over a career long six innings, not allowing a run in the process. Helena took the lead in the fourth and never looked back, as Bullock, Chad Whitmer, and Michael Mediavilla combined for the two hit shutout of Grand Junction, winning 5-0. The third Helena shutout of the season earned the Brewers the series split.

 

Bullock retired the side in order in the first on just seven pitches. After issuing a leadoff walk in the second to Grant Lavigne, Lavigne was caught stealing and Bullock faced the minimum again in the second. He didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning, a two out double to Lavigne, but got Javier Guevara to pop out to end the inning.

 

After Rockies starter Ryan Feltner threw up zeroes in the first three innings, the Brewers took advantage in the fourth against reliever Rayne Supple. Jesus Lujano drew a leadoff walk, and David Fry singled Lujano to second on a controversial call. It appeared that center fielder Daniel Montano caught Fry's fly ball in deep center after bobbling it, but field umpire Rene Gallegos ruled that the ball hit the wall before it bounced back into Montano's glove. Helena took advantage of the break, as two batters later, Bryan Torres skied a ball down the left field line that barely fell fair. Both runners scored as Torres ended up at second with a double. Torres later scored as Mike Alescio got himself into a two out rundown, allowing Torres to score.

 

Bullock issued just a two out walk in the fifth, and a leadoff single in the sixth from Hunter Stovall was erased immediately on a double play ball hit into by Coco Montes. His outing ended after six innings, with just 70 pitches on his line.

 

Helena added key insurance runs in the eighth, as Torres reached on a single and stole second with one out. Alescio stepped in with two out, and launched a ball over the right field wall for his first career home runs, extending the Brewers lead to 5-0.

 

Whitmer and Mediavilla faced the minimum over the last three innings, with the only runner to reach base coming on a leadoff walk in the seventh.

 

The Brewers head to Orem tomorrow for their first series of the year with the Owlz. Joel Pinto takes the ball for Helena, making his first start. First pitch is at 7:05, with the pregame show hitting the airwaves of helenabrewers.net at 6:45.

Helena Box Score

 

Michael Mediavilla has a little bit of Quintin Torres-Costa in him, except Mediavilla is half a foot taller. I saw him pitch both times against Grand Junction and he checks the boxes for crafty lefty: weird delivery, good sink on fastball, and spins a pretty decent slider. When he throws out of the wind-up, he twists his torso nearly perpendicular to the pitching mound and then spins around crossfire. No idea how a LHB would pick up the ball out of Mediavilla's hand, at all. Especially considering how big he is. Just arms and legs and them, wha-bam the ball is there. Didn't get a velocity reading but I'd guess he tops out around 90.

 

Chad Whitmer spins a pretty good curveball. Justin Bullock had the results, but there wasn't a lot that he did that stood out.

 

Brice Turang looked great in the field today and has looked great right up to the point of the mental errors he's made. David Fry looked more comfortable at third than he did a few days ago. Je'Von Ward has grown on me a bit.
