Down on the Farm - 5/12/13

AAA - Salt Lake 9 Oklahoma City 3

Kyle Hallock and Luis Cruz combined on a no-hitter as the JetHawks (22-15) defeated the Ports 2-0.

Cruz followed him up and walked 1 hitter in his 4 innings of work, and fanned 4. A Preston Tucker sacrifice fly and a Delino DeShields squeeze supplied all the offense as the JetHawks managed only 2 hits themselves.

Low A - Peoria 4 Quad Cities 2

Rio Ruiz hit a 2-run homer, but it wasn't enough for the River Bandits (20-15) as they came up short against the Chiefs, 4-2.
