Down on the Farm - 5/31/13

AA - Arkansas 5 Corpus Christi 3

The Hooks (33-21) suffered a rare loss at the hands of the Arkansas Travelers, 5-3. George Springer hit a pair of doubles, Drew Muren had 3 hits, and Max Stassi scored a pair of runs, but the Hooks bullpen faltered allowing runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th innings. Bobby Doran started the game for the Hooks, but got a no-decision despite allowing just 1 run on 2 hits in 5 innings of work. The Hooks were just 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position in the loss and left 12 men on base.

Advanced A - Visalia 12 Lancaster 10

The Rawhide scored 8 times in the 4th inning and held on late as they snapped Lancaster's 9-game winning streak in a wild 12-10 affair. Lancaster (33-21) got homers from Brandon Meredith and Matt Duffy and 3 hits apiece from Duffy and Andrew Aplin, but couldn't overcome the big 4th inning. Jonas Dufek allowed 6 runs in just a third of an inning to take the loss. Aaron West pitched well out of the pen though fanning 6 and allowing just a run on 3 hits in 4 innings of work. Joe Sclafani went 2 for 3 with a pair of walks and scored 3 times to raise his average to .367 while Preston Tucker added a pair of rbis to give him 52 on the year.

Low A - Quad Cities 6 Beloit 3 (14 innings)

Jonathan Singleton started the night 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts, but ended the night a hero as his 14th inning 2-run homer helped the River Bandits (30-23) to an extra inning win over the Snappers. Singleton's homer was his third in as many games for Quad Cities. Carlos Correa added 3 hits and an rbi to raise his average on the year to .292. The River Bandits got solid pitching from Jordan Jankowski (5 IP 1 ER), Cameron Lamb (3 scoreless innings) and Gerardo Sanchez (4 scoreless innings, 6 Ks) in the win. John Neely got the final two outs for his 9th save.
