Final: DSL Dodgers Guerrero 5, DSL Indians/Brewers 4 (Game Two)

 

The other game was a makeup of a rainout from July 10th and it wound up going extra innings. Tied at 1-1 through seven frames, the co-op squad plated three runs in the top of the eighth, only to get walked off when they surrendered four runs in the bottom of the eighth. 19-year-old Venezuelan righty Ricardo Velasquez pitched well, going 3.2 innings of relief and giving up just one run. Leadoff hitter Reidy Mercado reached base three times, going 2-for-3 with a walk while designated hitter Eduin Lugo added a double.

Greg Young has been on top of this in the Mudcats media notes -- Hummel walked twice in the Carolina loss Tuesday, so the numbers continue to grow in an ever-increasing sample size:

 

Cooper Hummel is hitting .318/.432/.500 with a .932 OPS (35 H, 19 R, 14 2B, 2 HR, 16 RBI) and a Carolina League leading 14 doubles since replacing an injured Tucker Neuhaus in the fourth inning of a home game versus the Keys on July 6. Hummel ended up going 1-for-2 with a two-run home run (eventual game winner in the seventh) in that same game and has not missed a start since (33 consecutive games).

 

***

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Hummel get a chance behind the plate in Biloxi next year, he threw out 30 of 88 the prior two seasons before the focus on outfield play in 2018.

Box Score / Game Log

 

K.J. Harrison on base five times inched his OBP closer to 30%, now at .298.

 

Harrison replaced Payton Henry behind the plate to start the bottom of the 6th as Henry exited, not sure exactly why.

Suspended after four innings: Colorado Springs 1, Iowa 0

 

Very encouraging four shutout innings from Brandon Woodruff. Domingo Santana an RBI single.

Final: Helena 4, Orem 3

 

Brewers Edge Owlz To Win Fourth Straight

Helena Throws Out Tying Run At Third To End Game

By Greg Mroz / Helena Brewers

 

 

Orem, UT - On a night where the Brewers offense was stifled by Owlz pitching, Helena's two run rally in the sixth gave them a 4-3 lead, their first of the night. Helena's bullpen held the Owlz scoreless through the next three, but Orem got the tying run on to start the ninth. Cam Williams singled to left center with two out, and Connor Fitzsimons tried to go first to third. He though was thrown out at third by Pablo Abreu to end the game and give the Brewers the 4-3 win. Helena has won four straight, their longest winning streak all season.

 

Orem scored in the first inning for the second straight night, as Jordyn Adams walked and Kevin Maitan singled with one out. Livan Soto's fly out moved both runners up, and Nonie Williams plated both with a single to left.

 

Helena cut the deficit to one in the third inning, as with a runner at second and one out, Yeison Coca popped a ball into shallow left center field that dropped after Adams and Williams collided with each other. LG Castillo then singled, and Coca tried to score, but was thrown out at home as Castillo drew himself into a rundown.

 

The Owlz extended the lead back to two in the third as a leadoff double from Rayneldy Rosario scored on a one out single from Livan Soto. Helena though got that run back in the top of the fourth, as Luis Avila's fielder choice with the bases loaded and one out brought home a run.

 

The Brewers turned the tide in the ballgame in the sixth inning, as with Bryan Torres at first and one out, Matt Leon threw a wild pitch to Jesus Lujano that moved Torres to second. Before Leon could throw the next pitch, he was called for balk, scooting Torres to third. The infield then came in, and Lujano poked a ball through the hole in the right side, plating Torres to tie the game at three. Lujano stole second with two out, setting up Avila who singled to center to score Lujano, giving Helena the 4-3 lead.

 

Brewers starter Joey Matulovich went the first five for Helena, allowing just the three runs, walking just one while striking out six. Michele Vassalotti pitched a scoreless sixth, and Tyler Tungate fired two scoreless innings, stranding the tying run at second in the seventh. Michael Mediavilla came on for the ninth in a one run game, and hit Connor Fitzsimons to start the inning. He retired the next two before Cam Williams' single, and Pablo Abreu's throw to third was on the button to nail Fitzsimons and end the game.

 

Helena goes for the sweep tomorrow as Caden Lemons takes the hill. First pitch is at 7:05 PM, with the pregame show hitting the airwaves of helenabrewers.net at 6:45.

Hummel is one of those guys I have liked on the stat lines.

 

I've proposed dealing Nottingham before, and this guy is one of the big reasons: Switch-hitting catcher, good bat.
