Friday Night Split - Shuckers and M-Braves Each Win One in DH

Fry’s Double Wins Game One For Biloxi

By Garrett Greene

 

Tristen Lutz slowed down for one night, 0-for-5 with four K's, also an HBP

 

Old friend Wendell Rijo is still only just 25 somehow.

 

With Brent Diaz' arrival from AAA, Payton Henry finally got a game off (but not the night off, started Game One).

Chiefs Rally Late to Beat Rattlers 7-6

Lujano homers twice, but Wisconsin can’t hold 6-2 lead heading into the bottom of the eighth

By Chris Mehring

 

Chris goes into his usual excellent, although bittersweet detail. You'll note that Thomas Dillard caught this game. He had previously caught three innings in a Wisconsin game in 2019, but that had been it behind the dish until last night.

 

Via Chris: "Garrett Mitchell took Batting Practice"

 

VIDEO from Thursday's game via Brewers Player Development: RHP Reese Olson

 

VIDEO Tweet Thread via @BrewersFarm: Carlos Rodriguez with similar swings and trajectories for his HR, triple

 

VIDEO Tweet via the Chiefs: Walk-off loss (again). Cardinals affiliation doesn't help.

 

RH starter Zach Mort with a solid effort, but here are the two solo home runs he surrendered.

 

RH bat to left-center

 

LH bat oppo

 

A reminder that the LH bat, Brady Whalen, is the son of Brewers' amateur scout Shawn Whalen.

Remarkably, via former Voice of the Chiefs Nathan Baliva, who always endured mutual playful scorn with Mr. Mehring, produced these insights:

 

But seriously...I hope you get walked off six times this week

 

There’s one walkoff! LOL guess I brought the juju to the park today

 

That’s 2 @CMehring almost there

 

Mix in Thursday's 3-2 loss when a late lead was blown, and it may as well be three walk-offs, though not techically.

Box: Carolina 8, Down East (Rangers) 2

 

Bullock Racks Up Career High 12 Ks in 8-2 Victory

Creedmoor native Justin Bullock struck out 12 while turning in a career night for the Mudcats

 

Greg Young's summary is as sweet as the club's performance in this one. Be sure to take it all in.

 

VIDEO via WNCT: Found one sweet Justin Bullock pitch for y'all - highlights include Joey Weimer's two-RBI single

 

SS Freddy Zamora exited Thursday's game after completing a 6-3 out on the inning's final play. He did not play on Friday.

 

Might be a while before we see another affiliate start match or exceed that sweet line from Bullock.

All evening action Saturday, with the earliest start at 6:00 Central for Greg Young's Mudcat audio call.

 

Others have MiLB TV available.
