This is what I noted from yesterday's games.
Buffalo outhit LHV 12-10 but were out homered 3-0. Five hitters had two hits each. Spencer Horwitz was one of them, both of his hits were doubles. Vinny Capra drove in three runs with his two hits.
Julian Merryweather pitched well, Trent Thornton gave up a run in the ninth and took the loss. Graham Spraker and Colton Shaver were released as the Bisons continue to makeover their roster.
Ricky Tiedemann pitched three strong innings with five K's. Luis Quinones pitched the other five innings and took the loss but pitched well.
The Fisher Cats outhit Hartford 11-5. Davis Schneider had four hits, John Aiello, Phil Clarke and Zac Cook had two each.
Four pitchers held Everett to three hits. Trenton Wallace started and went six innings with seven K's.
The C's scored all their runs in the ninth. Leo Jimenez and PK Morris doubled in a run each. Damiano Palmegiani singled in the third run.
Dunedin have been on fire since their new guys arrived. They scored eight runs with nine hits. Roque Salinas had three out of the nine spot. Six other hitters had a hit each.
Lazaro Estrada started and threw 3.1 shutout innings. 48 of his 56 pitches were four seam fastballs, and he got ten whiffs on them. His other eight pitches were curveballs. Velocity was 92.2 on the FB so it was good to get those whiffs.
In the FCL Angel Del Rosario was recently bumped down from Dunedin and he is showing that's a mistake. He had three hits on Friday and is hitting .364 back in the FCL. Eliander Alcalde threw five shutout innings with seven K's.
