homer · July 20, 2005

Corey Hart gets a mention in BA's Daily Dish:

Triple-A Nashville outfielder Corey Hart belted a 12th-inning walk-off homer off Memphis righthander Bill Pulsipher as the Sounds defeated the Redbirds, 5-4 Tuesday. Hart, an 11th-round pick in 2000, has been mashing all season for Nashville, hitting .302/.369/.494 in 344 at-bats. He's also been efficient on the basepaths, especially for a 6-foot-6, 200-pound right fielder. This season, Hart has 23 steals in 29 attempts.

bork · July 20, 2005

Looks like they kept Ben in there 1 inning too long. He was lights out through 7.

PeaveyFury · July 20, 2005

Hart with another HR, and Stetter with his first AAA win.

Great win for Indy.

Mass Haas · July 20, 2005

Great win for Indy.

I'll give you a mulligan on that one, Peavey http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Looks like they kept Ben in there 1 inning too long. He was lights out through 7.

Doesn't this seem to be his m.o. I mean, he seems to cruise until the end of his start. Can they not find the right time to bring him out of the game?

Final: Nashville 7, Memphis (Cardinals) 6

These Cardiac Sounds are truly "The Incredibles"!

Nashville Site Game Summary:

Bottom Of Ninth Rally Nets Sounds 7-6 Win

NASHVILLE ? The never-say-die Nashville Sounds scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to erase a 6-4 deficit and score a 7-6 victory over the division-rival Memphis Redbirds on a wild Wednesday afternoon at Greer Stadium.

With the victory, Nashville (55-43) improved to a season-best 12 games over .500 and, more importantly, increased its lead in the PCL American Conference Northern Division to a season-high six games over the Redbirds.

Trailing 6-4 after Memphis second baseman Tim Hummel hammered his second home run of the afternoon, a two-run shot off Sounds reliever Mitch Stetter in the top of the ninth, Nashville quickly got to work in the bottom of the frame. Nelson Cruz, Mike Rivera, and Chris Barnwell opened the inning with consecutive singles off Redbirds reliever Ricky Stone to load the bases. Steve Scarborough followed with an RBI infield single to pull the Sounds within a run at 6-5.

With the bases still loaded, pinch-hitter Tony Zuniga hit a grounder to third baseman Scott Seabol, who threw to the plate to force Rivera for the first out of the inning. Memphis catcher Brad Cresse threw to first in an attempt to complete a double play but his throw sailed over the head of first baseman John Gall and into right field, allowing Barnwell and Scarborough to score the tying and winning runs.

The victory was Nashville?s 20th last at-bat win of the year and their second in as many days against the Redbirds. In addition, the win was the Sounds? 16th victory in a game in which they trailed in the seventh inning or later.

Every Nashville starter except Prince Fielder, who contributed an RBI, recorded a hit in the contest.

Nashville?s Corey Harts combined to net the Sounds a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Corey D. Hart led off the contest with a double to right, was sacrificed to third, and scored on All-Star Corey Hart?s sacrifice fly to left.

Hummel evened things in the third with a leadoff solo homer to left off Sounds starter Ben Hendrickson. The roundtripper was his second of the season and first of two on the afternoon.

The Sounds plated single runs in the sixth and seventh to up the lead to 3-1 behind Hendrickson. Fielder picked up an RBI in the sixth before Rivera swatted his second home run of the series and seventh overall on the year in the seventh, touching up Redbirds reliever Josh Pearce.

Memphis rallied in the eighth against Hendrickson, tying the game with runs coming on a Skip Schumaker sacrifice fly and a Gall RBI single. Nashville right fielder Nelson Cruz -- who recorded a hit for the 15th time in 16 Triple-A contests -- made a spectacular leaping grab at the wall in right on Schumaker?s ball, robbing the Redbird of his sixth home run of the season and temporarily securing the Sounds? lead.

After Hendrickson exited the ballgame following Gall?s knock, the Redbirds grabbed a 4-3 lead when Rivera was unable to handle a Stetter offering and Bo Hart, who extended his hitting streak to a season-high 14 games earlier in the inning, scampered home on the passed ball.

Outfielder Corey Hart continued to produce big hits for the Sounds in clutch situations against Memphis, belting a two-out solo homer off Josh Kinney in the bottom of the eighth to square the game at 4-4. The blast, his tenth of the year, came less than a day after his game-ending 12th-inning bomb on Tuesday night.

After Seabol drew a walk to open the ninth, Hummel touched Stetter for a go-ahead two-run blast, his second dinger of the day, to give Memphis its short-lived 6-4 advantage.

Stetter (1-0) picked up his first career Triple-A victory for Nashville, while Stone (0-1) took a loss in his first decision of the year after allowing the three bottom-of-the-ninth tallies (one earned).

The teams wrap up the series with a 7 p.m. meeting on Thursday evening at Greer Stadium. Right-hander Mike Meyers (3-3, 6.17) will make a spot start for Nashville and face Memphis right-hander Mark Nussbeck (3-4, 2.57).

IIAY · July 20, 2005

From yesterday's recap:

Nashville?s Nelson Cruz made a game-saving, over-the-shoulder catch in the top of the 10th inning on a ball hit deep to right center by Scott Seabol. Cruz then turned around and doubled up Chris Duncan to end the inning and the Redbirds scoring threat.

From today's recap:

Nashville right fielder Nelson Cruz -- who recorded a hit for the 15th time in 16 Triple-A contests -- made a spectacular leaping grab at the wall in right on Schumaker?s ball, robbing the Redbird of his sixth home run of the season and temporarily securing the Sounds? lead.

So is anyone still upset about the Ginter trade? Anyone? Bueller? Man I hope Nelson gets a legitimate shot at making the big club out of ST next year. And if Lehr can contribute to the Brewers like he has been lately at AAA...

I think Mark A. better lock up DM thorugh 2010. If I get time one of these days I will try to write an article detailing all of the major moves Melvin has made over the past 3 years.

JoeHova · July 20, 2005

I look forward to reading it, IIAY, if you ever get the time.

Also, I hope Nelson Cruz gets a legit chance this year. He looks like he'd be a great platoon partner for Jenkins, plus he could spell Lee and maybe Clark one in a while too. It looks like he's ready for MLB.

huntsvillefan · July 20, 2005

Sounds like Nelson Cruz could play CF from those exploits. I'm beginning to think they just don't turn it on in Huntsville - maybe its all the Southern Cooking

Final: Brevard County 3, Daytona (Cubs) 1

Brevard County Box Score:

RHP Tim Dillard's awesome season continues, he just turned 22 yesterday -- do you realize his WHIP is 0.96?! Dillard threw 77.2 IP in 2004, his previous pro high. He's now at 134.1 innings in 2005, and it's not even August yet -- just don't see how he can maintain a starter's pace for much longer, it's just not smart; 3B Adam Heether on base three more times -- excellent Florida State League numbers; Steve Sollman only 12 for 23 in SB attempts, Steve Moss not much better at 12-for-21...

Errorless ball nets another win; Manatees should have scored a heck of a lot more than one run in the first...

www.minorleaguebaseball.c...x_breafx_1

Katuluu · July 20, 2005

Dillard looks like someone who would benefit from something like pitches per inning, as he has such absurdly low pitch counts for his outings. Looking strictly at innings pitched is probably not the best indicator of how much work he is doing.

Final: West Virginia 5, Lakewood (Phillies) 2

West Virginia Box Score:

Josh Brady's HR the Power's lone extra-base hit; Grant Richardson on base three times, we've said that often lately; Josh Baker a fine four innings -- too bad we haven't seen consistent outings from him...

Inman gives up four dingers in the 3rd. Yikes.

Mass Haas · July 20, 2005

Young Mr. Inman, the favorite quotesmith for a few of you, just gave up four HR's in a single inning out in Ogden...

Ando Calrissian · July 20, 2005

gave up four HR's in a single inning

and what's even more amazing is tha the HB are actually winning the game at the moment. seem to be some fellas that like to hit the ball up there at the moment.

BRADY'S HOMER LIFTS POWER IN VICTORY

Charleston, WV ? On Wednesday night, Josh Brady hit his first home run since June 4th, helping the Power beat the Lakewood BlueClaws by the final score of 5-2 at Appalachian Power Park.

Grant Richardson knocked in the first run of the game on a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the first inning. Brady hit his fifth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the bottom of the fourth to provide the Power with a 4-0 advantage. Chris Klemm scored the first run of the game for the BlueClaws on Derek Brant?s RBI groundout in the top of the fifth inning to make it a 4-1 game. The Power answered in the bottom of the sixth inning on Nestor Corredor?s two-out RBI single to take a 5-1 lead. Lakewood scored the final run of the game in the top of the eighth inning on Jason Jaramillo?s RBI single. The BlueClaws grounded into three double plays throughout the game.

As of 10:00 PM Central, listen in:

In progress: Huntsville 1, Mobile (Padres) 1, after ten innings

BayBears waste chance after chance, the Stars have had virtually no chances to waste...

DHonks · July 20, 2005

nice night for the system. Undefeated thus far, with 2 to finish. That's not counting Milwaukee though.

Still, good to see. Also nice to see Mr. Pereird (sp?) with a nice outing. Baker with a nice outing, too.

And someone maybe should have told Brady this is full season ball, meaning you're supposed to begin playing well in April, not July. Better late than never
