82 pitches for Guzman through 4. Three walks to his two strikeouts.

 

Theriot's RBI double makes it 4-0.

 

And then a Pie bomb!

Pie with home run #9! 6-0 Iowa!

[otis89]

Festovich for the Restovich! Home run #15 is a 2-run shot! 8-0 Iowa!

Restovich crushes a 2-run HR to center. 8-0.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Give some to Deardorff then. He struck out to end the inning.

[Jon]

Not a great outing for Guzman, but not much damage: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 5 BB, 2 K, 4-7 GO-FO, 104-59.

[Flames24Rulz]

Make it 4 ER's for Guzman as Walrond allows a grand slam. 8-6 Iowa after 4 1/2.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Samardzija finishes with 5 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 3 BB and a K.

 

A great recovery after the first: 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, K

 

Peoria down 4-0.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Oh how I love the Pie chart.

[Flames24Rulz]

Mesa lost 5-3. Renshaw went 4, giving up 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 BB, and struck out 2. Alburquerque took the loss as he pitched 2/3's of an inning, giving up 2 hits, 2 runs, 2 BB's, and striking out 1. Bennett pitched an inning and a third giving up 1 hit, 0 runs, 1 BB, and struck out 2. Walters pitched 2 innings allowing 1 hit, 1 run, 0 BB's, and struck out 1. Heredia was 3/5 with an RBI, a run scored, and 2 more SB's (now at 15 on the season). Murphy was 3/4 with a run scored and a stolen base. Pererz was 1/5 with a double and an RBI. Rundle, Hackstedt, and Tirado were 1/4 with Tirado having an RBI. Andersen was 1/3 with a walk and a run scored.

 

Felix singles to lead off the 6th for Iowa...now at 3/4 on the day. Iowa leads 9-6 in the bottom of the 6th.

 

Peoria down 4-0 in the bottom of the 8th.

[Flames24Rulz]

Iowa won game 1, 13-6. After Guzman, Walrond went an inning and 2/3's allowing 3 hits, 2 runs, 0 BB's, and struck out 1. Pignatiello pitched a scoreless 7th allowing 1 hit, and striking out 1. Pie went 3/4 with a single, a double, a HR, 2 RBI's, and 2 run's scored. Restovich was 1/3 with a HR, 3 RBI's, 1 BB, and 3 runs scored. Jose Reyes was 2/4 with a double, 2 RBI's, and a run scored. Hoffpauir and Fontenot were each 2/3 with a walk for both of them. Hoffpauir added an RBI. Buck Coats was 2/4 with a run scored. Deardorff was 1/3 with a double and 2 RBI's. Theriot was 1/5 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored.

 

Obviously a lot of offense for the I-Cubs in game 1. Let's hope the offense is just as good in game 2.

 

Peoria lost 4-0. Samardzija definitely settled down after the 1st, but took the loss. Muller pitched 2 innings allowing 3 hits and 1 run. Rayborn pitched a scoreless 8th, only allowing 1 hit. Peoria only had 5 hits: Carter and Chirinos had doubles, and Garcia, Reynolds, and Lilly had singles.

[Illini Iceman]

Won't it be a little tough on the Iowa staff to have a double header on the same day they lose two of their top relievers to the big league team?

[Flames24Rulz]

Fontenot doubled and Buck Coats homered to give Iowa a 2-0 lead in the 1st :)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Won't it be a little tough on the Iowa staff to have a double header on the same day they lose two of their top relievers to the big league team?

 

Minor league doubleheaders are 7 inning games, so they aren't as bad.

[Flames24Rulz]

Restovich walked in the 4th and Soto homered driving in Restovich as well. 4-0 Iowa after 4. Williams' line: 4 IP, 3 hits, 0 ER's, 0 BB's, 2 K's.

[Flames24Rulz]

Pie doubled following a strikeout by Williams to start the 5th. After a Fontenot K, Buck Coats walked, which set up Restovich hitting a 3-run homer to give Iowa a 7-0 lead :D

[Flames24Rulz]

Iowa wins game 2, 7-0. Williams pitched a complete game shutout, allowing just 5 hits, 0 BB's, 0 runs, and struck out 2. Why isn't he starting over Ryan O'Malley?

 

Every position player besides Deardorff had 1 hit. Restovich was 1/2 with his 16th HR of the season, 3 RBI's, 1 BB, and 2 runs scored. Buck Coats was 1/2 with his 5th HR of the season, 2 RBI's, 1 BB, and 2 runs scored. Soto was 1/3 with his 2nd HR of the season, 2 RBI's, and a run scored. Fontenot was 1/3 with a double, and Felix, Hoffpauir, and Ojeda were each 1/3.

 

Daytona down 4-0 in the bottom of the 2nd. They are currently in a rain delay right now. Go figure :P Sotolongo through 2: 5 hits, 4 ER's, 3 BB's, 1 K.

 

In other AAA news, Tucson is leading Salt Lake by a score of 26-4 :shock: :shock: :shock:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Nashville is playing a DH today and lost game 1. Their lead on Iowa is 3.5 games now, with one more game of the DH to go.

 

West Tenn is 1 back in the SL North.

 

Daytona is 2.5 ahead of St. Lucie in the FSL East.

 

Peoria is 3 back in the MWL East, but they won the first half and are already in the playoffs.

 

Boise is 3 up in the NWL East.

 

Mesa is horrible.

[otis89]

Wow. The I-Cubs went homer happy today. I wish the Chicago Cubs would do the same thing.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Dunedin up 4-1 on Daytona after 5. Roberto Sotolongo gave up all 4 runs and only went 2 innings. Daytona scored their run on a Jonathan Mota RBI groundout.

[Jon]

Petrick is looking good so far. He's fallen behind a few hitters but has come back with strikes just about every time. He has 5 Ks through 3 thanks to a very nice curve that is really dropping tonight.

[Jon]

Lewis triples off the wall in center to drive in a run. The center fielder made a nice try, but he just missed it. Hit about 7 feet up. A sac fly by Puello makes it 3-0.

 

Petrick's line so far: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 6-4 GO-FO. One hit was a high bouncing infield single. He's had a 3 ball count on 3 batters so far, but has yet to walk anyone. By the looks of it, his velocity looks pretty decent.

[Jon]

Petrick's 6th:

-First pitch groundout 6-3

-Single up the middle on an 0-2 hanging curve

-Single to right on a 3-2 pitch after falling behind 2-0, runner to third

-Sac fly to relatively deep center

 

And that's it for Petrick. He's responsible for the runner on 2nd.

 

Unofficial line: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 7-5 GO-FO

 

Blevins comes in and gets the batter to fly out to center to end the inning.

[Jon]

Colvin's 8th double of the season (down the first base line) drives in another run. Canzler brings him home on a sac fly two batters later. 5-1.
