Garrett Mitchell snapped an 0-for-25 skid in this game. He had not had a hit since August 6th, then he immediately missed a week of games, and clearly did not have a ball find a hole since his return to the lineup.

Wisconsin wins suspended game from June before rain halts game in eighth

Crazy-looking box considering all the player movement since June, and then you scroll down and see the complete game on the mound!

The work of the Rattlers' Victor Castaneda drew compliments from River Bandits Manager Chris Widger as well.

 

"He mixed up his speeds, used his change-up and breaking ball well and we had trouble making adjustments. Hopefully that was a one-day deal," Widger said.

 

More in this article, including additional news on the lineup mix-ups Chris described well himself.

Box: ACL Rangers 5, ACL Brewers Blue 4, seven innings

 

Walk-of loss on a walk in a messy final frame for RHP Oscar Castaneda.

 

The prior inning, it was the pro debut for 2021 18th round RHP Ryne Moore (Old Dominion), who survived two walks himself.

 

The Rangers pitched Jose Corniell. The Brewers pitched Alexander Cornielle. Gotta love box scores.

 

Jheremy Vargas, playing first base, singled and walked three times.

Box: ACL Indians 5, ACL Brewers Gold 3

 

LHP Ethan Small's rehab stint - One-inning start: Single, fly out, single, 3-1 groundout, K

 

Welcome back, RHP Lun Zhao - one unearned run in one inning, fanning two

 

"Hedbert!" doubled twice out of the leadoff spot

 

3B Alberis Ferrer has his OPS up to .946, just behind Hedbert's .965. Ferrer doubled, singled, and walked here.

[Mass Haas]

Box: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 4, DSL Mets #2 Squad 1, seven innings

 

RHP's Jesus Rivero and Rosmel Reyes, along with LHP Leoni De La Cruz, allowed only one hit, but combined to walk seven and hit two others.

 

In just his second professional game, 17-year-old (only turned 17 last May) Venezuelan catcher Jason Ollarve, a left-handed bat, doubled, singled, and drove in three. Ollarve signed June 25th.

[Mass Haas]

Box: DSL Diamondbacks #2 Squad 4, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 3, nine innings (scheduled for seven)

 

18-year-old Venezuelan RF Eduarh Colina hit his 2nd home run of the season, also singled.

 

True 18-year-old (meaning just turned 18 in April) RHP Gerson Calzadilla went seven innings, allowing two unearned runs - 5 H, 0 BB, 3 K.

 

Calzadilla has yet to allow an earned run in seven appearances (two starts) covering 20.1 IP (only two walks), four unearned runs allowed, a 0.64 WHIP to go along with the shiny 0.00 ERA.

 

Despite allowing the ghost runner and one additional run to score (in his second "ghost runner" inning), 19-year-old RHP Michael Perdomo has been crazy good as well: 31-to-3 K-to-BB in 21.1 IP (1.69 ERA).

 

So the other DSL game grabbed the headline with the one-hitter, but it's Calzadilla and Perdomo who deserve our focus on this night.
