Hintzen kept the Scottsdale bats at bay, Lun Zhao registered a tough luck blown save (costly error) and Joe Gray Jr. continued his AFL nightmare.

Hamilton has had a really nice stint in the AFL and the dude has elite speed. Exciting, under the radar prospect.

I was just about to post a similar sentiment. He really has come on all season. A showing in the AZL really has my ears perked up. This kid seems to have entered 'the conversation'.

Rafters Lose Finale 8-0 to Javelinas. Jarvis, Hintzen Solid in Defeat

 

Two Peoria pitchers held Salt River to 2 hits, while a 6-run 4th inning propelled the Javelinas to victory.

Losing pitcher Brian Metoyer (Mets' 25-year old) allowed 7 batters to reach (3 hits, 1 walk, 3 HBPs) and 6 runs, while retiring just 1 hitter.

 

- David Hamilton - 2B - 0-3

- Mario Feliciano - C - 0-3

- Justin Jarvis - started - 2.0 innings, 0 runs, 0 hits, 0 walks, 2 Ks

- J.T. Hintzen - 1.2 innings, 0 runs, 1 hit, 0 walks, 3 Ks
