All day in meetings and no free wireless at the hotel where the meetings were held has delayed this edition of “From the Bus Stop”.
Let’s start our quick trip around the farm with the only team that won last night.
Lexington Legends
Santo Luis climbed onto the mound to face his old team, Lexington, last night. Luis, claimed by the White Sox in the minor league portion of the rule 5(V)(five) draft last winter, did well but didn’t factor into the decision. Russell Dixon knocked in Max Sapp with a double in the top of the ninth to give the Legends a 2-1 win.
Dixon went 3 for 3 for the night and knocked in both Legends runs. So far, he is hitting .343 for the month of June.
Salem
The Avs let one get away late. They were up 4-0 after 6 innings. They gave up one run in the 7th, one more in the 8th and then 3 in 9th. The final was a disheartening 5-4.
Corpus Christi
Speaking of disheartening losses. How about a 15-0 shellacking? That disheartening enough for you? To make matters worse, Tip Fairchild left the game in the 3rd inning with an undisclosed arm injury.
Round Rock
The Express, like Salem, had a comfortable lead after 6 innings. They were up 6-2 and ended up losing 7-6.
Tri Cities & Greeneville should release their rosters tomorrow.
