Round Rock
Chad Reineke lasted only 3 1/3 innings for the second consecutive start. The Express couldn’t dig out of the hole and lost 6-1.
Corpus Christi
Brian Bogusevic pitched six solid innings but got no decision. New acquisition, Jose Oyervidez, was the man of the hour putting out the 2 on, nobody out fire in the 9th with only 6 pitches to preserve a 3-2 win.
The Hooks bats are warming up and a few are even streaking:
Manzella (five), Paz (six), outfielder Ray Sadler (four) and Sutton (six) extended hitting streaks on Tuesday. Sutton, who is batting .375, has hits in all 11 of his starts.
Salem
The Av’s are nothing if not competitive. Five of Salem’s six wins have been by one run. So have 4 of their 5 loses. Last night it was one of the loss variety. Polin Trinidad pitched 6 perfect innings, then he came out for the 7th and ran out of gas. In the 7th he sandwiched a double between two walks to load the bases with no one out. He was relieved by Jason Dominguez who walked in a run and surrendered a sac fly to tie the game up at 2. Fredrick scored in the 12th for the victory.
Trinidad was very effective according to the Key’s players:
“He kept on pounding his fastball inside and we couldn’t do anything with it,” Davison said.
Lexington
The Legends took advantage of some Crawdad errors in the first to build a 3-0 lead. They held on for the 6-4 win. Carlos Ladeuth got his first win of the season going six innings allowing only one earned run on six hits, one walk with six strike outs. Matt Cusick hit his second home and his forth double of the season during the game. Brandon Barnes is struggling in a mighty way. He went 0-4 with 4K’s last night bringing him to 20K’s in 36 AB.
