Eddie's Farm: June 16

Round Rock

Yes. That's seven losses in a row after yet another 1-run loss. By now you've probably figured out the Express lost last night 3-2. It's the fourth 1-run loss in the last five games. Polin Trinidad threw 6IP, 5H/3ER, 5K:2BB allowing two solo homers. Yorman Bazardo and Jonah Bayliss threw two scoreless innings. The Express were 2x10 w/RISP and left ten on base. Bogusevic - batting third - was 2x4, and Marcos Cabral and Drew Meyer had two hits each. Jason Castro had an RBI double, with Meyer providing the other RBI. Bogusevic scored both Express runs.

Man of the Match: Brian Bogusevic

Corpus

Corpus scored a run in the the first inning, and didn't score again. Lucky for them, San Antonio didn't even score, and the Hooks won 1-0. Jeremy Johnson threw 5IP, 5H/0ER, 5K:4BB for his second win of the season. Edwin Walker and Henry Villar threw 4IP of 1H/0ER relief, with 4K:1BB. Shuck (also 2BB), Sutil, Clemens, and Fixler each had hits - with Clemens collecting the sole RBI of the game. Clemens and Steele also struck out three times each.

Man of the Match: Jack Shuck

Lancaster

The JetHawks had an 8-0 lead in the 5th, and then had to hold on for the 8-6 win. It's the first time the JetHawks have won back-to-back games since May 18-19 (going 4-21 in the 25 games between two-game win streaks). Ross Seaton threw 7IP, 6H/3ER, 2K:1BB. Brian Wabick, in his first game back in Lancaster, gave up four hits and a walk for three earned runs in 1.1IP. David Berner closed out the last two outs for his 9th save of the season. Jay Austin (also stealing his 28th base of the season), Albert Cartwright, and Ebert Rosario had two hits each (both of Cartwright's were doubles), and Brandon Barnes had a 2-run triple.

Man of the Match: Jay Austin

Lexington

A six-run 6th inning can help erase a walk-off walk from the night before, and the Legends cruised to a 10-3 win over Lakewood. Juan Minaya won his 2nd game of the season, throwing 5IP, 4H/2ER, 2K:3BB with Colton Pitkin allowing 2H/1ER over the final 4IP of the game. Jose Altuve (2RBI) and Rene Garcia had three hits each, while J.D. Martinez (2RBI) and Grant Hogue (1RBI) had two hits each. Also contributing multiple RBIs were Jake Goebbert and Jonathan Meyer. Jiovanni Mier was 1x5 with a double, walk, and an RBI, but also committed his 17th error of the season. He'll only be 20 in August, so let's not blow this too far out of proportion, but he is hitting .138 against LHPs, and is 7x40 in his last ten games.

Man of the Match: Jose Altuve
