Las Vegas- Scheduled Day Off
Chad Jenkins was effectively wild on Thursday pitching 6.2 shutout innings and striking out 8 against five hits and four walks. He induced eight ground ball outs against just two in the air.
The offense was fairly stagnant. Travis D'Arnaud went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI while Kevin Howard had three hits.
Bradley Glenn did much of the damage in this one going 3-for-4 with his 23rd homer. Other than that, it was pretty spread out. Ryan Goins did have two hits. So there was that.
Andrew Liebel started and his line was pretty much 4. He lasted 4.2 innings and allowed four runs on four hits against four strikeouts. He also surrendered four hits.....times two.
Asher Wojciechowski had one of his better starts going 5.2 and allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits without walking anyone. He struck out three.

Myles Jaye and Aaron Sanchez tandemed it up to smother Princeton. Jaye went five and allowed a run on four hits with no walks and three punchouts while Sanchez went the final four and allowed a run on five hits. He didn't walk anybody and struck out one.
