Eddie's Farm: May 24

Round Rock

The Express enjoyed a 6-run 3rd inning and then held on with four scoreless innings of relief for a 9-6 win over Las Vegas. Wesley Wright continued to struggle, allowing 11H/6ER, 2K:0BB in 5IP, but got the win. Wright has allowed 15ER in his last 13.1IP. Jonah Bayliss threw 3IP, 3H/0ER and Casey Daigle threw a perfect 9th for his fifth save. Jason Bourgeois was 3x5 and Chris Johnson and Yorman Bazardo had two hits each. Drew Locke got a triple and 3RBI, and Jason Castro hit his first homer of the season. Encouraging news from Castro, as he has hit safely in nine of his last ten games for a .316/.422/.421 line in that time frame.

Man of the Match: Drew Locke

Corpus

Corpus took a 5-0 lead on Midland and held the Rockhounds to three runs on ten hits for an 8-3 win. Jeremy Johnson threw 5IP, 7H/2ER, 0K:4BB for his first win of the season.

The JetHawks let High Desert get out to a 7-0 lead going into the bottom of the 5th, came back to tie it, and then let it go in the top of the 9th for a 9-7 loss. Shane Wolf gave up 10H/6ER in 4IP, while Leandro Cespedes and Ashton Mowdy combined for 4IP, 2H/1ER, 4K:0BB (Mowdy had a perfect 8th inning). David Berner allowed 3H/2ER in the 9th for the loss.

Jay Austin and Ebert Rosario were both 2x4, and Brandon Barnes hit a two-run homer in the 5th inning. Freddy Parejo also added two RBI sac flies.

Lexington was pretty much dominated, losing at West Virginia 3-0. Juan Minaya held WV to 4H/3ER, 3K:3BB in 5.2IP and Zach Grimmett closed it out with 2.1IP, 1H/0ER, 2K:1BB in the losing effort. The Legends were held to four hits - two of them by Jiovanni Mier, and the others courtesy of Jose Altuve and J.D. Martinez. Kody Hinze didn't get a hit, but walked twice.
