Round Rock
Off.
Corpus Christi
The Hooks only got five hits, and scored their lone run in the 9th inning on a T.J. Steele RBI single in a 5-1 loss to San Antonio. Jeremy Johnson allowed 5H/3ER, 0K:1BB in 4IP to drop his record to 0-3. Erik Stiller made his debut, giving up a hit and a walk in 2IP. Edwin Walker allowed three walks and an unearned run in 1IP, and Danny Meszaros put up ones (1IP, 1H/1ER, 1K:1BB). The five hits came from five different Hooks, with Jon Gaston getting the only XBH - a triple.
Man of the Match: Welcome to Corpus, Erik Stiller!
Lancaster
The JetHawks rapped out 13 hits and Shane Wolf went 7IP, 5H/2ER, 5K:3BB for the 9-2 win over Rancho Cucamonga. Ashton Mowdy got the last six outs, allowing no runs, one hit and two walks. Albert Cartwright was 3x4 with a double and two triples, while Freddy Parejo, Mark Ori, and Raul Conteras each had two hits/two RBI. Barry Butera committed his first two errors of the season.
Man of the Match: Albert Cartwright
Lexington
Lexington had a 5-3 lead, and then a 4-run Greenville 5th inning pretty much took care of that, and the Legends lost 9-5, despite Greenville Knoblauchs committing SIX errors (five throwing, one fielding). The Legends only scored one unearned run, probably because they felt bad. The pitching staff was atrocious. Juan Minaya gave up 3H/3ER, 3K:4BB in 3IP, but the bullpen of Luis Cruz, Arcenio Leon, Colton Pitkin, and Jose Trinidad gave up 6H/6ER, 4K:6BB in 4.1IP. To be fair, Trinidad threw 1.2IP, 1H/0ER, 0K:1BB. The Legends were 3x16 w/RISP, and Jose Altuve (3x5) and Jake Goebbert (2x4) had your multi-hit games. Our boy Aaron Bray was 1x4.
Man of the Match: Jose Altuve
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
