Eddie's Farm: August 31

Round Rock

I don't know that I've ever seen "Completed Early" as a reason for only playing 4 1/2 innings, but it was an official game, and it's a good thing for the Express. Omaha wins a shortened game, 7-0. Jordan Lyles threw 4IP, 12H/7R (5ER), 4K:0BB. The Express committed more errors (3) than they got hits (2). Matt Kata and Collin DeLome provided your hits, while Edwin Maysonet, Lyles, and Drew Locke were charged with errors. The Express have lost ten of their last eleven.

Man of the Match: Nope.

Corpus

Corpus came pretty dang close to a shutout over Frisco, but had to settle for a 4-1 win, instead. Matt Lindstrom threw a rehab inning to open the game, striking out one, hitting a batter, and throwing a wild pitch. Then Polin Trinidad took over and threw the next eight innings, allowing 7H/1ER, 4K:1BB, and a wild pitch. Corpus got 12 hits, but only one with runners in scoring position. David Cook, Albert Cartwright, Mike Affronti (HR), Wladimir Sutil, and Federico Hernandez had two ehits each. Koby Clemens was 0x4 with 3Ks and an RBI.

Man of the Match: Polin Trinidad.

Lancaster

Lancaster took an early 1-0 lead, but Lake Elsinore scored the next five runs on their way to a 7-3 win over the JetHawks. Kyle Greenwalt threw 6IP, 8H/4R (1ER), 4K:1BB and was tossed in the 6th. Brian Wabick allowed 6H/3ER, 2K:1BB in 3IP. Jay Austin committed the error leading to three unearned runs, but was 1x5 with a double. Jose Altuve was 1x3 with a double, walk, and 2RBI.

Man of the Match: Jose Altuve

Lexington

Lexington scored in five of their eight innings for a 10-7 win over Hagerstown. Zach Grimmett threw 3IP, 5H/2ER, 5K:1BB. Brad Dydalewicz got his first win for the Legends with 3IP, 1H/0ER. Dydalewicz has allowed three earned runs in his last 18 innings, showing a marked improvement over the rest of the season. Wander Alvino allowed 3ER in 2IP and Kirk Clark gave up 2ER in 1IP. Jimmy Paredes was 4x5 with a double and 2RBI. Rene Garcia was 3x4, Jiovanni Mier was 2x5 with 2RBI, and Jonathan Meyer provided 2RBI, as well. Ben Heath hit his fourth homer for Lexington.

Man of the Match: Jimmy Paredes

Tri-City

Tri-City is peaking at the right time. Last night's 4-0 win at Lowell put them at 35-34, and a half-game clear of Connecticut for 1st place in the Stedler division. David Martinez threw 7IP, 8H/0ER, 7K:0BB, and Joan Belliard closed it out with two perfect innings. All eight of the ValleyCats' hits were singles, but Tyler Burnett had two of them. Austin Wates was 1x3 with 2BB and three runs scored.

Man of the Match: Austin Wates
