Eddie's Farm: July 2

Round Rock

Despite outhitting Memphis 7-4, the Express fall 2-1. Josh Banks threw an 88-pitch, complete game 8IP, 4H/2ER, 4K:1BB (and a stolen base, apparently), and got the loss. Tommy Everidge got three hits, while Bogusevic was 1x2 with 2BB. Brian Esposito was 0x4 with 4Ks.

Man of the Match: Josh Banks.

Corpus

The Hooks are mired in what you would call a "losing streak" to the tune of nine games after a 6-3 loss to Tulsa. Jeremy Johnson threw 5.2IP, 7H/3ER, 6K:1BB. Fernando Abad allowed 3H/2ER in 1IP for the loss, and Danny Meszaros gave up an unearned run in 1.1IP. Michael Affronti was 2x4, and Jon Haston was 1x3 with a 2-run triple, and Jhon Florentino added your other RBI.

Man of the Match: Jon Gaston.

Lancaster

Brutal loss for the JetHawks as San Jose scored three in the bottom of the 9th for a 4-3 win over Lancaster. Dallas Keuchel had thrown 7H/1ER, 6K:0BB until the 9th. After getting two outs, but loading the bases, Mike Modica gave up a three-run double to Juan Perez, clearing those bases. All three runs were charged to Keuchel. Andy Simunic was 2x4, while David Flores was 1x3 with an RBI and a walk. Federico Hernandez added the other RBI.

Man of the Match: Dallas Keuchel, despite the loss.

Lexington

The Legends almost got more errors than hits in a 5-0 loss at Hickory. Jose Cisnero threw 6IP, 7H/4R (3ER), 5K:2BB, while Mike Schurz allowed 1ER in 3H, with 2K:0BB in 2IP. All four errors belonged to 3B Miguel Arrendell (fielding, throwing, throwing, throwing). Rene Garcia was 2x4, while Brian Kemp was 1x4 with the only extra-base hit. Jose Altuve and Jake Goebbert added the other two hits.
