Iowa loses 5-1. A 9th inning solo shot by Augie broke the shutout. Peoria trails 6-5 late. Carter hit his 12th HR of the season and Taylor gave up 5 runs (2 earned) over 5.1 IP. Pina gave up 4 runs over 2.2 IP on 6 hits, 1 walk, 1 K, and a HBP. It's tied 5-5, though.
Aww. MiLB.com decided to ruin my night by changing Taylor Parker to Blake Parker. Booo. Holden pitched two perfect in relief. Castillo is now in to pitch. And Ligtenberg blows the save after Emanuel gave up 2 earned in his inning of work.
Pie is now 3-3 with a walk. The I-Cubs lead 7-4. Here's Wells' line so far: 5 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K Mesa is tied 2-2. Dollis has given up both earned through 3.2.
Iowa loses game 1 4-2. Pie went 0-4 with a K. The Diamond Jaxx are under a rain delay. They trail 1-0 in the 4th. Daytona trails 1-0 in the 6th. Holliman went 6.1, giving up a run on a solo HR. He gave up 6 hits, 1 walk, and 5 Ks. The Chiefs are up 4-1 in the 5th. Atkins is looking good.
Odd. Only just now has his velocity returned to normal. He was sitting mostly 90-91 for the first few ABs. And only just now is he throwing non-fastballs. Playing the infield IN? How about outs, Dusty?
Wow. Just got around to listening to it. I cringed a bit when he said "horses," emphasized injuries a bit too much, and wished he had gone further and critiqued the small ball decisions that Dusty and other managers make, but still refreshing.
