Down on the Farm - 4/23/13

AAA - Albuquerque 12 Oklahoma City 2

Starting pitcher Jordan Lyles lasted just one inning surrendering 8 hits and 5 runs as the Isotopes cruised to a 12-2 win over the RedHawks (10-9). When the dust had finally settled, the Isotopes had banged out 21 hits (19 singles!) off of 4 Oklahoma City pitchers. The RedHawks managed 9 hits of their own, but went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position. Robbie Grossman (2/5), Jake Elmore (3/5) and Jimmy Paredes (2/4 with a homer) led the offense in a losing effort. Grossman was called up to replace the injured Justin Maxwell after the game.

AA - Corpus Christi 7 Midland 6 (10 innings)

Ben Orloff's sacrifice fly drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th, and Pat Urckfitz struck out the side in the bottom half to close out a 7-6 win for the Hooks (10-8). George Springer was poised to be the hero after going 3 for 4 with a pair of homers and 3 runs scored, but closer Jason Stoffel couldn't protect a 2-run lead in the 9th forcing the game into extra innings. Hooks pitchers struck out 17 in 10 innings of work.

Advanced A - Lancaster 5 Lake Elsinore 4

Nolan Fontana had three hits and catcher MP Cokinos drove in two runs as the JetHawks (12-6) hung on for a 5-4 win over the Lake Elsinore Storm. Brady Rodgers started and threw 5 solid innings allowing just two runs to earn his first win of the season, and Kenny Long made his 2013 debut with a perfect 9th to earn the save.

Low A - Wisconsin 9 Quad Cities 1

Wisconsin broke a 1-1 by scoring 5 times in the 6th off of reliever Colton Cain and went on to beat the River Bandits (11-6) by a score of 9-1. The big inning wasted a strong start by Mike Hauschild who allowed just one unearned run in 5 innings of work to lower his ERA on the year to 2.93. Chase Davidson hit his first home run of the season to provide the River Bandits only offense. Carlos Correa went 0 for 4 with a pair of strikeouts lowering his average to .238.

Down on the Farm - 4/8/12

AAA - Nashville 1 Oklahoma City 0

The Sounds held Oklahoma City (3-2) to just 4 hits as the RedHawks fell 1-0 on the road. Jake Elmore followed up his 5-hit performance against Memphis with 2 more hits raising his average to .450 on the season. He also stole a base. Rudy Owens was the hard-luck loser, as he allowed just an unearned run in 5 innings of work. Jose Cisnero added 3 scoreless innings in relief in a losing effort.

AA - Corpus Christi 4 Tulsa 3

George Springer drew a two-out bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, and Michael Burgess followed that up with a walkoff single to send the Hooks (4-1) fans home happy. Burgess finished the night 3 for 5 accounting for half of the Hooks' six hits while Springer had a pair of hits and drove in two. Pat Urckfitz earned the win in relief after tossing 2 1/3 scoreless innings.

Low A - Quad Cities 12 Burlington 3

Quad Cites (5-0) scored 11 times in the first three innings as they cruised to a 5th straight win to start the season. Teoscar Hernandez led the offensive attack with 4 hits, Chase Davidson had 3 hits and 3 rbis and Jesse Wierzbicki drove in 5 runs as the River Bandits continue to get contributions from up and down the lineup. Joe Bircher (1-0) started and went 5 strong innings in earning the win and Vincent Velasquez retired all 12 hitters he faced, 6 of them by strikeout to earn his first save.
