Eddie's Farm: May 10

Round Rock

That didn't go well. The Memphis Redbirds scored the final nine runs of the game for a 12-4 win, and a split of the four-game series. Errors by Shelton, Johnson, and Polin Trinidad led to four unearned runs. Trinidad got the start, throwing 5.1IP, 7H/5R (1ER), 4K:2BB, while Sam Gervacio took the loss with 0H/0ER, 2K:2BB in 1.2IP. Jonah Bayliss and Evan Englebrook combined for 8H/7ER, 1K:1BB in 2IP of relief. Chris Johnson was in the lineup for the first time tonight, and went 1x4 with an RBI double, but Matt Kata was 3x4 with an RBI, and Bogusevic continued his hot streak with a 2x4 day.

Man of the Match: Matt Kata

Corpus Christi

Corpus jumped on San Antonio early for a 5-0 lead after two, and rode it out for the 8-1 win. Doug Arguello needed 108 pitches for the complete game, throwing 9IP, 3H/1ER, 5K:2BB and lowering his ERA to 2.93. Big-time offense, including a 4x5, 3-double, 5RBI day from Koby Clemens, and a 3x4 day from Wladimir Sutil. Jack Shuck and Lou Santangelo also had multi-hit games.

Men of the Match: That's right. Plural. Goes to both Clemens and Arguello.

Lancaster

Nice win from Lancaster, who scored the last three runs of the game (including one each in the 8th and 9th) for the 4-3 win over Inland Empire, on Barry Butera's walk-off RBI single - scoring Jordan Comadena, who had led off the inning with a walk. Leandro Cespedes was pulled after 3IP, 5H/3ER, 3K:4BB, but Schurz (3IP), Mowdy (1IP), and Godfrey (2IP) combined for 1H/0ER, 4K:6BB in 6IP. Butera (2x5), Ori (2x2, 2BB), and Barnes (2x4) each had two hits, while Jordan Comadena was 1x1 with 2BB.

Man of the Match: Barry Butera

Lexington

Despite getting outscored 12-18, Tanner Bushue and Kody Hinze came up big in a 2-1 win to get the series split. Bushue threw 7IP, 2H/0ER, 5K:0BB, while Jose Trinidad threw 1.2IP, 2H/1R (0ER), 2K:0BB and Kirk Clark closed it out for the save, though he gave up the hit that scored Greensboro's run in the top of the 9th. Kody Hinze hit a 2-run jack for his SAL-leading 8th homer, and 33rd RBI of the season. J.D. Martinez was 2x3 to raise his average to .356, while Jiovanni Mier was 0x4 with an error to drop his average to .191.

Man of the Match: Tanner Bushue
