Down on the Farm - 4/21/13

AAA - Oklahoma City 10 Albuquerque 7

Brett Wallace kicked off his demotion with a home run and was part of a 15-hit attack as the RedHawks (10-7) outslugged the Isotopes 10-7. Jimmy Paredes added 3 hits and a homer, Marc Karuss slugged his 4th homer of the season, and Robbie Grossman added 3 hits and a pair of rbis to lead the offensive explosion. Newly acquired Eric Berger picked up his first win as a member of the Astros organization, and Josh Zeid, Kevin Chapman and Jose Valdez each tossed scoreless innings to close out the game. Valdez now has 5 saves and has yet to allow a run. Trevor Crowe went 1 for 4 and extended his hitting streak to 15 games.

AA - Frisco 7 Corpus Christi 1

Jonathan Meyer was the only member of the Hooks (9-7) to get more than one hit as the RoughRiders cruised to a 7-1 victory. George Springer was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk, and Austin Wates reached base twice, but Corpus Christi was just 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Matthew Heidenreich (1-2) pitched 5 innings and allowed 4 runs on 8 hits to take the loss.

Advanced A - Lancaster 6 Bakersfield 5

Andrew Aplin doubled home Nolan Fontana with one out in the bottom of the 9th to send the JetHawks (11-6) to a walkoff win over the Blaze. Aplin finished 2 for 5 with 3 runs batted in, and Chris Epps slugged a two run homer, his first of the year to lead the offense. Travis Ballew got the win in relief after striking out the side in the top of the 9th. Ballew now has 15 strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings of work and he's struck out the side in each of the last four innings he's pitched.

Low A - Quad Cities 12 Wisconsin 5

Carlos Correa snapped out of his recent slump in a big way with 2 homers, 3 rbis and 4 runs scored as the River Bandits (10-5) defeated the Timber Rattlers 12-5. Correa had seen his average dip down to .205 before tonight's 3 for 4 showing raised it back up to .256. Jesse Wierzbicki added a homer and Rio Ruiz and Jordan Scott both knocked in a pair as part of the 12-run outburst. Michael Dimock earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief while Vincent Velasquez threw 4 shutout innings to earn his second save.
