Buffalo won 1-0 on a solo home run and eight strong innings from Scott Diamond. New Hampshire continued their winning ways with Richard Urena starring. Dunedin split a doubleheader. In the game they won, Ryan McBroom hit a grand slam and Jon Harris pitched a seven inning complete game. In the game they lost, Sean Reid-Foley had a bad, bad start. Lansing had the night off. Bluefield had the bats going and they ran up eleven runs. Vancouver were well beaten with TJ Zeuch taking the loss. The GCL Jays won, again, with some good hitting at the top of the order.
Indianapolis 0 Buffalo 1
One solo home run was the game winner. Who hit it? Montero, Dominguez, Colabello? No, it was Ryan Goins, or as Jerry Howarth might say Goins, Goins, Gone. Each team had four hits. Dalton Pompey was 1-3.
Scott Diamond was the star on the mound. He went eight innings of four hit shutout ball. He didn't walk a hitter and notched up six K's. Dustin Antolin handled the ninth in only seven pitches.
New Hampshire 7 Bowie 4
Richard Urena likes AA. Three hits, three triples and three RBI made for a great night. Urena tripled in the first and scored on a wild pitch. In the fifth he tripled for the second time and scored on a fielders choice off the bat of Dwight Smith. Smith doubled to score Urena's third triple. Shane Opitz had a two run home run in the second inning. Emilio Guerrero had two hits. Rowdy Tellez took an 0-4 but he did walk.
Wilmer Font went six innings, a two hitter, and allowed a run. He did have eight K's. John Anderson gave up a run in two innings. Alonzo Gonzalez is just up from Dunedin and he had a rocky start. He loaded the bases in the ninth and then unleashed a wild pitch. Chris Smith had to come in to lock down the win.
Dunedin 4 Daytona 5 - game 1
Sean Reid-Foley had a stinker in this game. In the first inning a double and a single gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead. Then in the second the wheels came off, a walk and five hits, two of them doubles, let the Cubs build a 5-0 lead. SRF was pulled after two. Chris Rowley took over and went the remaining four innings. He was better than SRF, two hits, no runs in his four innings.
The Jays did try and come back. Gunnar Heidt had a two run double in the third and Ryan McBroom followed with a sac fly. In the fourth, Anthony Alford had another sac fly after the Cubs loaded the bases with walks. However Dunedin went ten up and ten down from there and were unable to get the tying run on base.
Dunedin 7 Daytona 2 - game 2
Ryan McBroom took care of business in the third inning with a grand slam. McBroom singled and scored in the sixth. Anthony Alford had two hits, one of which was his seventh home run. Jonathan Davis also had two hits.
Jon Harris pitched a complete game of seven innings. He held Daytona to four hits, one walk and two runs.
Lansing - scheduled day off
Everett 7 Vancouver 2
TJ Zeuch started and went five innings. It wasn't his best start. He allowed a couple of hits in the first inning but escaped. He cruised through the second and third but gave up three runs in the fourth. He wasn't hit hard in that inning, three ground ball singles and a soft fly ball single but it did lead to three runs. In his five innings Everett had eight hits off Zeuch, six were ground ball singles and three of those were infield hits. He wasn't hit hard. Nate Abel followed and allowed two runs as did Jackson McClelland.
Vancouver did score a run in the first inning. Joshua Palacios reached on an error, moved up on a passed ball and a single, and scored when Cavan Biggio hit into a double play. Biggio tripled in the eighth and scored on a ground out. In total the Canadians just had six hits.
Pulaski 1 Bluefield 11
Urena's heroics didn't allow me to use my Alias Smith and Jones reference in the headline. Brad Jones was 2-5 with a home run and three ribbies. Lance Jones was 3-4 and Ridge Smith was 2-4 with a triple and a home run. The 23 year old Cuban, Javier Monzon, was 2-3 with a walk and a triple. Vladdy Jr was 1-5.
Kyle Weatherly went six innings and the only run he allowed was unearned. Kelyn Jose added two nice innings with three K's.
GCL Yankees West 4 GCL Blue Jays 7
The Jays bashed out 13 hits and the top three in the order had eight of them. Kevin Vicuna was the lead off hitter and he went 3-5 with a triple. He scored three runs and drove in two. Norberto Obeso was third in the order. He was 3-3 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored. In between those two was Sterling Guzman who had two hits and an RBI. Eight hits, four runs scored and five RBI from your top three. Antony Fuentes also had a three hit day, he scored and drove in a run. Hot hitting Ryan Gold had a rare 0-4.
Wilfri Aleton wasn't at his best but got the win. Aleton went five innings and escaped with three runs allowed. The Yankees had seven hits off him, plus a walk, but Aleton held them to three runs. Jared Carkuff provided good middle relief for 2.1 innings and William Ouellette registered his first save.
