A pretty boring night on the farm resulted in a couple of wins, a couple of losses, a couple of non-games............ oh, excuse me, I drifted off there for a minute. Boy, am I ever not selling the click-through, eh? But hey, at least that title is pretty good (awful).
Las Vegas 11 at Oklahoma City 6
Jose Molina? Who needs Jose Molina! Chris Lubanski did him one better, smacking five hits to lead the 51s to an incredible 11 run output which is almost always enough (though the pitching staff kept it fairly close). Robert Ray went 5 2/3, allowing three runs.
New Hampshire - scheduled day off
Dunedin 1 at Brevard County 4
The D-Jays put forth one of the most anemic offensive performances possible, hitting four singles and not walking. Also, two runners were thrown out on the base paths, leading the Brevard County pitchers to face only two over the minimum. Unsurprisingly, this wasn't enough to win the game, despite Chad Beck's efforts (6 IP, 3 ER).
Fort Wayne 6 at Lansing 4
Lansing used the old standby "Bookend" strategy, scoring only at the beginning and end of the game. Two runs in the first, one in the second and one in the ninth weren't enough, however, as Drew Hutchison was uncharacteristically imperfect in his second start for the Lugnuts; he gave up four runs (two earned) in five innings. Daniel Barnes relieved Hutchison and allowed the proverbial nail in the coffin, and then another nail in the same coffin.
Like in Dunedin, not much offense to speak of; Jon Del Campo had the only extra base hit, a double, to go along with his one-bagger, while Justin Jackson singled and walked.
Auburn - scheduled day off
GCL Pirates 0 at GCL Jays 1
The GCL Jays' aggregate pitching line: 9 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 0 R, 10 K. That's downright Morrow-esque! Nicholas Purdy, Chris Enourato and apparently-now-a-pitcher Sean Shoffitt combined to completely stifle the Pirates. The line-up provided just enough run support thanks to a solo home run by Pierce Rankin who, by the way, has an underratedly cool name if you ask me. P.S. despite Shoffitt's ERA in the 8s, he's pitched pretty well, especially the 19:3 K:BB in 14 innings.
DSL Angels 2 at DSL Jays 1
17 year old Luis Zerpa struck out 6 in 4 innings while allowing a single run.
Three Stars!
3. Pierce Rankin - solo homer, only run of game
