Only three games on Sunday but that doesn't mean there wasn't good news for Jays fans.
Omaha 2 Las Vegas 6
Brett Wallace is really knocking on Toronto's door, isn't he? As Lyle Overbay hovers around the Mendoza Line, Wallace continues to assault the PCL. On Sunday, he launched his 11th homer of the year, a solo shot, as part of a 2-for-4 day to bump his average to .310. Five other 51s had two hits including Kyle Philllips who doubled twice and scored a pair, as well.
Reidier Gonzalez started and won for Las Vegas. He sports the fairly odd season line of 4-2 with a 7.78 ERA. Gonzalez went six frames allowing just a run on three hits though he walked five against four punch outs. Sean Henn and Jeremy Accardo, with a perfect ninth, preserved the victory for the 51s.
Portland 4 New Hampshire 3
After knotting the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the 8th, the Fisher Cats dropped Sunday's game thanks to an RBI double off Danny Farquhar in the ninth. Farquhar's been struggling with his command so far with 15 walks in 16 innings. Three of those came on Sunday (though two were intentional). Randy Boone started and went 5.1 allowing a run on four hits and four walks against, yup, four strikeouts. Adrian Martin and Tim Collins, with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings, also got some work in.
Adam Calderone continued his scorching play of late with his 7th homer of the year and fourth in his last four games. Shawn Bowman and Jonathan Jaspe each picked up a pair of hits.
Of note, there was a weird play in the bottom of the ninth. Well, at least weird when recalled in point form. After Jaspe singled to lead the inning off, Darin Mastroianni pinch ran and was bunted up to second. The next play appears as this:
