YotD: May 18

Round Rock
Off Monday.

Corpus Christi
The Hooks lost 1-0 in 12 innings to the San Antonio Missions last night. This was accomplished mainly by Brandon Backe's eight innings of scoreless baseball, allowing five hits and one walk with five strikeouts and throwing 74 of his 98 pitches for strikes. But rehab assignments don't make you eligible for the YotD. Drew Meyer got two of the Hooks' three hits last night.

Lancaster
Lancaster was dropped by Rancho Cucamonga 2-1 last night, going 2x11 with RISP. Lancaster's YoTD Leandro Cespedes threw 6IP with 6H/2ER, 6K:1BB (ERA now 1.64) and the JetHawks got multi-hit games from Chris Minaker and Koby Clemens.

Lexington
The Legends came out on top of another 1-run game for the Astros' farm system last night 2-1. Brian Pellegrini scored the first run of the game in the 7th inning with a solo home run. But your YotD goes to pitcher Jordan Lyles: 7IP, 3H/0ER, 8K:2BB
