Round Rock got a solid start from Ron Chiavacci on Friday night in route to a 5-3 win.

“I’ve been sitting in the stands the last three games seeing what these guys like, so it was easy to have a game plan,” Chiavacci said. “(Catcher J.R. House) and I were on the same page, especially the last five innings. I don’t remember waiving him off very often.”

Saturday, the Express went down 6-3. Sunday, Jack Cassell continued his dominance of the PCL leading the Express to a 6-2 win. Monday, the Express broke out the bats and beat Sacrameno 9-3.

Round Rock got two homers each from Val Majewski and Ray Sadler in their 16-1 shellacking of Fresno.

“We picked some good pitches and got some swings on his fastball in the zone,” said Majewski, who has been with the Express for a week after a promotion from Double-A Corpus Christi. “I just want to get some good swings and do what I can to keep myself in the lineup.”

Things have been busy down on the farm and I am behind a day so let’s play some catch up.

Round Rock has had a rough couple of days dealing with the Fresno Grizzles. Tuesday, they gave up 6 unearned runs in a 10-3 loss. Last night, they saw Chance Douglas make his first start since May. He pitched 3 shut out innings but that was about the only highlight as RR lost 5-1. J R Towles went 0-4 with 2 Ks in his return to the Express.Read More

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.”
