Lexington won its season best 4th game in a row last night. The win gave Luis Pardo his first professional win. He had been 0-13 over two seasons coming into the game.
“It feels like about 6,000 pounds have been lifted off my shoulder,” said the right-hander, who gave up four runs, three earned, over seven innings. “It just feels great. I’ve been throwing two years for this now.”
Kyle Miller hit a solo homer for the Legends.
Corpus Christi got another solid start from Andy Van Hekken. He struck out 10 in 8 1/3 innings to lead the Hooks to a 2-0 win.
Greeneville gave up 6 runs in the 7th on bad relief pitching.
Astros starter Jose Trinidad tossed six full innings of scoreless ball, allowing five hits. He was lifted in the seventh and relief man Joel Romero loaded the bases by giving up a single to Brian Bryles and walking Luis and Beckham. That ended Romero’s night.
Nathaniel Pettus then hit Burt Reynolds with a pitch, forcing home the tying run. Two wild pitches allowed Luis and Beckham to get home, and Pettus walked Elias Otero. Sonoqui singled to plate Reynolds and Otero.
The final run of the frame came when Acosta doubled to right.
Round Rock lost on a walk off homer in the 9th. Tri Cities ralled with a 3 run homer in the 7th only to see the lead go away with a two run homer in the top of the ninth. A costly error in the 10th lead to Salem’s 7-6 loss.
