Down on the Farm - 4/5/13

AAA: Memphis 9 Oklahoma City 0

Memphis scored 8 times in the bottom of the 5th to send Oklahoma City to a 9-0 loss in the Opening Game of a doubleheader. Jordan Lyles' 2013 struggles continued as he couldn't get through the 5th allowing 4 runs in 4 1/3 innings of work. Brandon Laird paced the offense with two hits in three trips in a losing effort.

AAA: Oklahoma City 8 Memphis 7

The RedHawks (1-1) survived a furious 7th inning rally by the Redbirds and held on for their first win of the season in Game 2 of their season opening doubleheader. Brandon Laird homered and drove in 4 runs, while Robbie Grossman and Trevor Crowe each drove home a pair as the offense erupted following their earlier shutout loss. Paul Clemens started and earned the win, while Jose Valdez got the final out for his first save. Former Astro J.R. Towles had 2 hits and 2 rbis for Memphis

AA: Springfield 2 Corpus Christi 0

The Hooks (1-1) were held to just one hit as the Cardinals evened their two game series at one game apiece. Austin Wates led off the game with an infield single, and that was pretty much it for the offense as they went 0 for 26 with 6 walks the rest of the way. Nick Tropeano was the hard-luck loser allowing just a run on three hits in five innings of work.

Advanced A: High Desert 7 Lancaster 3

Lancaster (1-1) jumped out to an early 3-1 lead, but couldn't hang on and fell to the High Desert Mavericks 7-3. Preston Tucker clubbed a two-run homer, and Brandon Meredith added two hits in a losing effort. Brady Rodgers started the game for JetHawks and got knocked out in the 4th and was saddled with the loss.

Low A: Quad Cities 4 Kane County 1

The River Bandits (2-0) scored three times in the 8th to break a 1-1 tie highlighted by a Rio Ruiz two-run double. Lance McCullers started and threw five scoreless innings, but didn't factor in the decision. Daniel Minor (1-0) earned the win in relief.
