And that's 'cause they didn't play. At least this thing's almost over.
Las Vegas 4 Portland 5
Well, J.P. Arencibia's nice little hot streak came to a crashing halt with an 0-for-4 with 3 Ks. Brian Dopirak's didn't, though as he went 2-for-5 with 2 RBI, which gives him 102 across two levels.
Fabio Castro wasn't all that fabulous in his final start of the season going 5 innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and five walks. He did strike out five, though. Davis Romero went the final three and allowed two runs while striking out four.
New Hampshire 6 Portland 7
The Sea Dogs won this one thanks to two in the 8th off Leon Boyd and another in the 9th off Zach Dials. Sean Smith started and allowed four in four innings thanks in large part to six walks.
David Cooper was the offensive star of this one due to a 3-for-4 performance which included a double, RBI and run scored. Not to be outdone, Darin Mastroianni went 2-for-3 with a double, walk, run scored, two RBI, and his 36th AA stolen base and 70th (!) overall.
Dunedin 1 Lakeland 4
I'm shocked that the D-Jays only managed one run. It's so unlike them. Anyway, Eric Thames had a nice night going 2-for-4 with a double and a triple with an RBI. Everyone else: Not so much.
Robert Bell continued his fine pitching with seven innings allowing a run on two hits while striking out five. Bell's been pretty much brilliant since the beginning of July. And then Daniel DeLucia blew it all up with three runs (two earned) over his two frames.
Lansing did not play
Auburn 1 Williamsport 3
Two hits for the Doubledays. One from Ryan Schimpf and the other off the bat of Eric Eiland. And both were singles. That's it.
The only worthwhile pitching performance was from 20 year-old Nestor Molina who went three shutout innings in relief, striking out six.
Three Stars:
3rd Star: David Cooper; 3-for-4, 2B, R, RBI
2nd Star: Darin Mastroianni: 2-for-3, R, 2B, BB, 2 RBI, SB (70)
1st Star: Robert Bell; 7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
