Durham 4 Syracuse 0

Shut down by the Bulls
Alfaro: 3 of team's 4 hits.
Matos’ spot start bad.

Box score


New Hampshire 9 Altoona 4

An offensive explosion
Dingers: Cosby, Kratz and Davenport
Jova: 4 for 5 and doubled thrice.

Ramirez went just 4
4 runs on 7 safeties and 3 walks
Bullpen bailed him out.

Box score


Dunedin 17 Sarasota 3

Like the look of this?
Cannon with a triple and 4 ribs,
Slugging .898

Arnold, Synder both went deep.
Except for Lind and Mayorson,
Every starter hit.

David Purcey cruised
5 shutout innings on 3 hits
4 walks, but 9 Ks!

Box score


Cedar Rapids 2 Lansing 1

Bottom of the ninth:
Double, 2 walks off Scott Roy;
Sac fly wins the game.

Jordan Timm pitched well.
Christian Snavely homered, but
No one else could hit.

Box score


Mahoning Valley 6 Auburn 4

Brian Grant relieved
Gave up 6 runs, got 4 outs
And that’s the ballgame

Patton’s solo shot,
Two Metropoulous doubles were
All the XBH.

Box score


Pulaski 10 Johnson City 7

Another slugfest
Al Quintana drove in 4
Tony Hatch went deep.

Box score

I don't know what to think of Purcey. He clearly has fine stuff but no control over it. You could promote him to AA and hope for the best but if he's walking 4 or 5 guys every game in A-ball then what's going to happen in AA and AAA where the batters get a lot more patient and adept at hitting cripple pitches? His pitch per inning efficiency must also be awful.
