Oklahoma City
OKC took a 4-2 lead in the 4th on Jon Homerton's three-run jack, but a 5-run Omaha 6th gave the Storm Chasers the margin for a 7-4 win at OKC and a 2-0 series lead. Four unearned runs allowed by the defense made this one a little tougher. David Martinez threw 4.2IP, 4H/2R (0ER), 3K:3BB; Eric Berger took the loss, giving up 4H/5R (3ER), 1K:2BB in 1IP; Andrew Robinson (2IP, 1H/0ER) and Wade LeBlanc (1.1IP, 1H/0ER) closed out the loss.
Seven OKC hits were recorded by seven different players. George Springer (2BB, run) and Raoul Torrez were the only ones to not get a hit. Jon Singleton was 1x3 with the three-run homer and a walk.

Carlos Quevedo scattered five hits over 1.1IP but was able to get out of the jam, thanks to Kyle Hallock and Cameron Lamb, who inherited two runners and got the final two outs.

Greeneville @ Kingsport: Game 2
Facing elimination in the Best-of-Three series with Kingsport in the Appalachian League playoffs, a loss would send Greeneville home.
In the bottom of the 2nd with two outs, Kingsport's Michael Bernal doubled, Amed Rosario walked, and a wild pitch put runners on the corners, but Champ Stuart popped out to preserve the scoreless tie. Greeneville answered immediately with an Ariel Ovando homer to lead off the 3rd, followed by a Thomas Lindauer double, a Brett Phillips bunt single, and a Tanner Mathis double to make it 2-0. Consecutive sac flies put Greeneville up 4-0 in the 3rd.
Kingsport left runners on the corners again in the 4th, and Tanner Mathis homered in the 5th to make it 5-0 Gastros, and they would go on to win 7-2.
Chris Lee threw 5IP, 5H/1ER, 4K:2BB, 2WP; Austin Chrismon allowed 3H/1ER, 5K:0BB in 3IP; Gerardo Ramirez threw a perfect 9th.
Thomas Lindauer was 3x4 with a double; Tanner Mathis was 2x4 with a homer, 2RBI and three runs scored; Ariel Ovando was 1x2 with a homer, 2RBI, and a walk.

27th round pick Tanner Mathis going back to Ole Miss
27th Round pick Tanner Mathis announced, in no uncertain terms, that he would be returning to Ole Miss for his senior season in 2013:
It's been an honor to be drafted by the Astros' but I'm coming back to lead the Rebels to OMAHA!! #RebsBSB #OMAHA2013startsNow #OMAHA2013

Thursday morning draft updates
*Jonathan Mayo praised the Astros' draft class:
It might be easy to give credit to the team with the No. 1 overall pick, but it's not just Carlos Correa that gives the Astros a good Draft grade. Getting Correa, though, made it possible for Houston to feel confident it could draft and sign Lance McCullers, a first-round talent, in the comp round. The Astros didn't stop there, however. After taking some solid college talent, they took high-end high schoolers like 3B Rio Ruiz and OF Brett Phillips.
*3rd Round pick Brady Rodgers signed last night, and while terms were not disclosed, Rodgers knew all along he would sign:
"I knew what I wanted to do. With the Astros drafting me, it was pretty easy. The hometown team, the team I grew up loving. It's pretty simple. It was either sign or sign."
*22nd Round pick Kenny Long will sign:
“It’s something I’ve been working at for pretty much my whole life. It really hasn’t sunk in yet that I’ll be playing professional baseball, but it’s something I’m so honored to do.”
*25th Round pick Ryan Dineen doesn't know what position he'll play, but it'll be with the Astros:
"They said we'll have you come down and play wherever we need you, short, second or third. They're thrilled I'm versatile, and I'll play any one of those spots in the game for them."
*26th Round pick C.J. Hinojosa wasn't picked where he would have preferred, but it was still nice to get drafted. Will he sign?:
“I honestly don’t know. I have to sit down with my family and talk with my adviser and see what will happen.”
*27th Round pick Tanner Mathis isn't sure if he'll return to Ole Miss for his senior season, or sign with the Astros:
"As far as what happens from here, I have no idea. We'll just play it by ear. I'll be in contact with them, talk to the coaches. We'll find out what will happen pretty soon."
*28th Round pick Angel Ibanez is going to sign, after talking with his parents:
“They think it’s time. I’m going to go ahead and do that, start new.”
*29th Round pick Christian Garcia almost missed his name being called due to a jacked up internet connection, but looks like he'll sign.
