Ryan Wright (2-2) and Juan Perez have homered. Kyle Waldrop is 2-2 with a triple. Billings leads 5-1 in the fourth with Ismael Guillon pitching.
Just back from the Bats game. Francisco continues to rake and Mesoraco was flat out unconscious tonight. Devin's 2nd HR tonight went 471 feet, the 6th longest in Louisville Slugger Field history. Quite a towering majestic shot too, if I may say so.
Sulbaran's night: 5 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K. Bakersfield is tied 2-2 after five.

Muhammad and Pinckard preserve a 5-3 win for Billings and Guillon.
Juan Perez went deep for the Mustangs. Perez started the year playing for the Arizona Reds. His .920 OPS performance earned him a promotion to Billings. In limited playing time in the Pioneer League he is OPSing .988. He 19-year old shortstop out of junior college was drafted in the 26th round.
Valencia- Cougar sophomore second baseman Juan Perez was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday afternoon. He was picked with the 805th selection in the 26th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
The 6’1″, 183 pound sophomore out of Cleveland High School earned first team all-conference accolades and was named the Western State Conference player of the year after leading the Cougars on both offense and on defense.
Perez completed his sophomore campaign finishing second in the conference with a .397 batting average and 54 hits. The infielder led the Western State Conference with a stellar .479 on base percentage. Perez also racked up 33 runs, 13 doubles, 2 home runs, 35 RBIs and 15 stolen bases.
Anyone remember Ramon Sambo?
Hamilton collected four singles and also stole two bases, giving him nine steals in his last four games. He has 91 stolen bases on the season, most in professional baseball since 2001 and tied for the 16th highest total in Minor League Baseball history. Hamilton is seven stolen bases short of the all-time Cincinnati Reds organizational record set at 98 by Ramon Sambo of Cedar Rapids in 1988.
An earthquake and a Joseph save in the same day. What is this world coming to!Originally Posted by mace
No, but if he flipped the first letters of his name around, we'd all have a cedar rapids "Rambo" jersey hanging in the closet.
Slidin' Billy had a rough start at the plate but has turned it around since the ASG.
Pre-ASG OBP - .292
Post-ASG OBP - .375
Nice.
I looked him up, he was a 25 year old in his 7th minor league season and still playing A ball. Let's hope Hamilton works out a tad better.
