AAA - Sacramento 4 Oklahoma City 2
Andrew Simunic and Che-Hsuan Lin each had 2 hits, a double and an rbi, but the rest of the RedHawks (24-16) squad managed just 3 hits as they came up short against Sacramento, 4-2. Jonathan Villar did record his 14th stolen base of the year, but Oklahoma City's 3-4-5 hitters - Brett Wallace, Brandon Laird, and Fernando Martinez - combined to go 0 for 12 with 3 strikeouts. Ross Seaton (0-4, 9.32) failed to retire a hitter in the 5th inning and was charged with all 4 runs in the loss. Both Kevin Chapman and Jason Stoffel tossed 2 scoreless innings in relief.
AA - Corpus Christi 1 Midland 0
Jake Buchanan's days in AA have to be numbered. The 23 year old former 8th round pick out of N.C. State tossed 5 more scoreless innings - his 5th straight scoreless appearance totaling 22 2/3 innings - lowering his ERA on the year to 0.93 and improving to 4-0. Buchanan has allowed just 3 walks and 28 hits in 48 1/3 innings on the season and opposing hitters are batting just .163 against him. In 30 appearances last year between AA and AAA, Buchanan managed just a 5.25 ERA and opponents hit .320. Josh Fields continued his successful rehab with another scoreless inning, and Pat Urckfitz earned his first save of the season by recording the final four outs. Max Stassi provided the offense with an rbi double, as the Hooks (24-17) escaped with a 1-0 win.
Advanced A - Lancaster 6 Visalia 4
The dynamic duo of Luis Cruz and Kyle Hallock didn't have a repeat of their last performance, but still pitched good enough to lead the JetHawks (24-17) to a 6-4 win. Cruz tossed 5 shutout innings allowing just two hits, but Hallock was roughed up in a 4-run 7th. Travis Ballew finished the game off with a scoreless 9th for his 7th save. MP Cokinos homered and drove in 2 while Delino DeShields Jr reached base four times (2 singles, 2 walks), drove in two runs, and stole two bases to lead the offense. Telvin Nash and Preston Tucker each added a pair of hits as well.
Low A - Beloit 3 Quad Cities 1
Teoscar Hernandez was 3 for 4 with a double, and Carlos Correa raised his average to .275 with 2 more hits and an rbi, but it wasn't enough as the River Bandits (23-17) were just 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position and fell to the Snappers, 3-1. Jordan Jankowski struck out a season high 7 in 4 innings of relief, but Brian Holmes allowed a pair of solo home runs in his 4 innings, and that was more the River Bandits offense could overcome.
