Billy walked in the third, stole second, then teamed with LaMarre on a double swipe. He's now at 138 (7 away).
Pensacola trails 2-0.
Bryson Smith (2-2, .343) drives him in. 2-1.
Juan Perez has 2 home runs and 4 RBIs. Dayton leads 5-4 after six.
Stephenson: 4 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 4 K.
And Mills drives in LaMarre to tie it for the Blue Hoos.
Todd Redmond's old teammates just lit him up for 5 in the fourth. Louisville trails 5-0.
Dayton got five innings of scoreless relief from Mugarian (2 IP), Muhammad, Dennhardt and Contreras to batten down at 5-4 victory.
Billy was later picked off and caught stealing. He also tripled. Cola leads 7-3 after seven.
Wirfin Obispo: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K.
Masset worked a hitless 9th inning ( 1 K) in Louisville's 5-2 defeat. Gregorius and Felix each had a couple singles.
Daniel Renken was pounded again. Bowe has a couple hits (.337) and Mattair has socked his 18th HR. Bakersfield trails 8-5 in the fifth.
Juan Perez's second half (46 GP): .293/ .348/ .527/ .874
A 16.5 K rate is solid, but his BB rate is only 6% in that same time.
8 HR, 4 3B, and 12 2B in his 200 2nd half ABs as well.
LH, still only 20. Plays SS (poorly, apparently) and 2B.
Underrated, IMO, and one to keep an eye on.
Hamilton (3-4, 2.88) added one more late steal. He's at 139, which means he could easily break the record (145) this week. (He's stolen 20 in the last 10 games.)
Freeman got the save. The Wahoos won, 7-3.
With an ERA like that, you'd figure Hamilton would have a better win-loss record.Quote:

In my opinion, the best position player on the 2012 Dragons. Plays the game aggressively and instinctively. Hits both LH and RH pitching. Good measure of a player in A-ball is what does he do when the opposing pitcher is really battling to get him out in a key spot, and Perez is hitting .325 with runners in scoring position. Good base runner, though not super fast. Good athlete. Does not have the arm to project as a big league shortstop, but could handle shortstop in a utility role. Should make a fine second baseman. Smart kid, good attitude, good worker, good leader.Quote:

Perez was at College of the Canyons just over one year ago.
