Slidin' Billy singled and stole in the first. He's two away from Coleman.

Pensacola didn't score. Corcino is pitching.

Dan Langfield is off to a mighty fine start tonight for Billings: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K.

Brandon Dailey's double is the only hit of the game.

Edit: That was all for Langfield. Jordan Remer takes over.

Good to see the numbers here. Awesome start by Villarreal.

[Vottomatic]

Corcino a good night except for the 4 walks. 6 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 4 walks, 5 K's, 1 wild pitch so far. 3 ground outs 7 fly outs.

Hamilton K'd in his third at bat.

[Vottomatic]

Billings in a 1-1 struggle in the top of the 8th.

Dan Langfield pitches 3 IP, 0 Hits, 0 ER, 1 walk, 7 K's.

Bottom of the 8th, Carlos Sanchez triples in Pigott and Amaral. Billings up 3-1.

Michael Salter's first start, two weeks ago, involved 5 scoreless, 2-hit innings. His second start, tonight: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K.

The Mini Reds lead 3-1 in the fifth. Brent Peterson and Adam Matthews are both 2-2.

[Vottomatic]

Hamilton at the plate. Pensacola being shut out. 1-0 in the top of the 8th. Billy singles with 2 outs in the inning.

A 2-run triple by Carlos Sanchez in the bottom of the eighth has given Billings a 3-1 lead. It's quite weird that Sanchez is considered exceptionally slow, yet this was his 10th triple on the season.

[Vottomatic]

Hamilton caught stealing. 3 outs.

[mace]

Mo Wiley fans the side to close out a 3-1 win for Billings. The Mustangs chalked up 15 K in the game: Langfield 7 in 3 IP; Remer 1 in 1 IP; Ramos 3 in 2.1 IP; Lucas 1 in 1.2 IP; Wiley 3 in 1 IP.

[Vottomatic]

Long injury delay in the Wahoos game. Not sure what's happening.

Long injury delay in the Wahoos game. Not sure what's happening.

Brodie Greene and Andrew Means collided going for a ball. They were both down for a long time, not moving. Means eventually got up and sat in the dugout. Brodie was down for a long time and eventually got taken off the field in an ambulance, very scary.

[Vottomatic]

Gerson gets lit up at Bakersfield for 4 IP, 8 hits, 5 ER. Yikes.

Bakersfield down 10-2.

A lot of guys on this team struggling just to get a hit! I dont know if they are worn down or what. Henry Rodriguez batting .240 and Didi .243. Phipps is batting about .200 but he has come alive lately getting some hits!

[dougdirt]

Didi is suffering from some low BABIP.

HRod is suffering from poor plate discipline. A lot more strikeouts than walks. Very unlike him.
