Farm Report - 4/12/13

AAA - Memphis 10 Oklahoma City 6

The RedHawks (5-3) banged out 16 hits, but stranded 11 men on base as a late rally fell short against the Redbirds, and they fell by a score of 10-6. Jake Elmore led the offensive attack with 4 hits including a pair of doubles as he raised his average to .500 (16/32) through 8 games. Brett Oberholtzer was saddled with the loss as he was knocked out of the game after just 3 innings. Josh Zeid was the only Astros pitcher who didn't get scored on, as he tossed a scoreless 9th with 2 strikeouts. In three shutout innings this season, Zeid has yet to allow a hit, and has fanned 7.

AA - Springfield 6 Corpus Christi 3

Springfield jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 2nd inning, and the Hooks (6-2) never recovered dropping just their 2nd game of the year by a score of 6-3. George Springer was 2 for 4 with a pair of rbis and Ben Orloff added two hits, but the Hooks never got closer than 4-3. Matthew Heidenreich (1-1) allowed 4 runs in 2 innings of work and was saddled with the loss.

Advanced A - Modesto 4 Lancaster 1

The high-powered JetHawks (6-2) offense was limited to just 4 hits and a sacrifice fly as they dropped a low scoring affair to the Nuts 4-1. Luis Cruz, a 9th round pick back in 2008, was absolutely dominant for Lancaster in his first start of the season fanning 9 in just 4 2/3 innings. Cruz now has 15 strikeouts in just 8 2/3 innings this year. Aaron West (0-1) took the loss in relief.

Low A - Peoria 4 Quad Cities 1 (10 innings)

The Chiefs pushed across 3 runs in the top of the 10th with an assist from a Rio Ruiz error as the River Bandits (6-2) fell in extras by a score of 4-1. Quad Cities brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the tenth, but cleanup hitter Jesse Wierzbicki struck out looking and Terrell Joyce grounded out to first to end the game. Teoscar Hernandez led the offense with 3 hits and 2 steals raising his average to .394, and Mike Hauschild pitched 5 strong innings allowing just 1 run on 3 hits.
