Eddie's Farm: August 20

Round Rock

Look at that! Four runs scored, all in the 9th inning, and the Astros come away with the win over Portland, 3-1. Andy Van Hekken threw 7IP, 3H/0ER, 6K:2BB; Chris Sampson got the win with a hit and a walk in 1IP, and Roy Corcoran gave up 2H/1ER for the save. German Duran was 2x4, with Shuck, Bogusevic (BB), Maysonet (RBI), and Shelton getting your other hits. Van Hekken even drew two walks. And for a guy hitting .033, this is inexcusable on the Beavers' part.

Man of the Match: Andy Van Hekken.

Corpus

Despite getting ten hits, the Hooks got whooped (and swept) 9-3 at the hands of Springfield. Jeremy Johnson threw 3.2IP, 5H/5R (3ER), 5K:3BB. Bubbie Buzachero, who had previously allowed 1ER in 11.1IP, gave up 5H/4ER in 1.1IP on four days rest. Arcenio Leon struck out three in 2IP, and Jose Valdez held Springfield to one hit in 2IP. Wladimir Sutil was 3x4 with two doubles, and J.D. Martinez was 2x4 with a double for your multi-hit games. Koby Clemens collected his 80th RBI of the season - fourth in the Texas League. Gaston and Federico Hernandez had the other RBIs. Albert Cartwright was 1x3 with a walk and a stolen base (and an error).

Man of the Match: Wladimir Sutil.
