ARIZONA COMPLEX LEAGUE

Final: ACL Brewers Blue 7, ACL Giants Orange 0
Box Score / Game Log

This 7-inning game was the RHP Alexander Vallecillo show, as the 19-year old dominated with his best start of 2022 thus far – 5 2/3 scoreless innings of 4-hit, zero-walk (stunning), 7-K baseball. The Blue team improved their record to 3-8 by winning this 7-inning contest.

Offensively, 18-year old 2021 international bonus man SS Daniel Guilarte and 19-year old 2021 draftee CF Jace Avina led the 7-run, 12-hit charge by combining to go 5-for-8 with 4 doubles and 4 RBIs, thus raising their impressive early season OPS’ to .937 and .904 respectively.

The Blue’s 19-year old left-handed hitting 1B Quinton Low knocked in the first run of the game in the second inning, driving home 20-year old Eduarqui Fernandez (who’d doubled) in the second inning. The good guys then doubled their advantage in the third inning on consecutive doubles by Guilarte and Avina.

The flood gates opened with a 5-run fourth inning, with all runs scoring with 2 outs: 19-year old Jamal Zalm RBI single, infield error for a run, Guilarte RBI single, Avina 2-RBI double.

On the mound, Vallecillo was never out of rhythm, as the Giants Orange team never managed to put 2 men on base in any inning and only had one runner reach second base over his 5 2/3 innings of terrific work.

Let’s also tip our caps to 19-year old reliever LHP Junior Castillo for closing out the shutout by throwing 1 1/3 innings of hitless ball and 18-year old 2B Jonatan Guzman going 3-for-4 and scoring a run.

The staff was aided by 20-year old C Jhonnys Cabrera throwing out an attempted base stealer in the second inning, ground ball double plays in the fifth and seventh innings and zero Blue team errors in the game.

Wait, no errors, no hit batsmen, no wild pitches, no passed balls and only one walk? What is this, AAA ball?? Great job, young men.

Final: ACL Brewers Dodgers 5, ACL Brewers Gold 2
Box Score / Game Log

The Brewers Gold squad couldn’t generate enough offense against the Dodgers in this 9-inning Monday contest, though the pitching was solid. The lost dropped the Gold team’s record to 7-4.

Starting 20-year old RHP Domingo Mejia took the loss despite a solid effort – 6 innings pitched, 3 runs, 6 hits, 1 walk, 4 Ks.

After falling behind 2-0 through two innings, the Gold team battled back with 19-year old 1B Jesus Parra singling and scoring in the second inning and 19-year old CF Diego Larez being hit by a pitch, moving to third on an error and scoring on a double play ground out in the third inning. 2-2 game through three innings.

Unfortunately, the team couldn’t generate much offense the rest of the way, with their best chances coming and going as follows:

• Down 4-2 in the seventh inning, 19-year old C Blayberg Diaz led off with a single, 19-year old LF Eduarh Colina walked with 2 outs, but nothing came of it
• Down 5-2 in the ninth inning, 20-year old 2021 draftee 3B Kaylan Nicasia and 19-year old DH/INF Jose Caballero each singled with one out, but a ground ball double play ended the game

The only Gold player with multiple hits was Diaz (2-for-4) and the only RBI came via Mr. Caballero. Usual offensive bright spots 18-year old RF Luis Castillo (1.287 OPS) and 18-year old 2B Jadher Areinamo (.275 AVG) combined to go 0-for-6, but did manage 2 walks. Castillo also gunned down a runner at third base in the first inning.
