Louisville is batting in the bottom of the 12th.
Carolina has resumed and leads 3-2 on a 2-run HR by Phipps.
Jordan Smith made another one-inning start for the AZL Reds, and now it's Daniel Tuttle. They lead 2-1 after four.
Brandon Dailey, 1/2, is at .426. Juan Perez, 2/2, is at .389. Not a bad pair in the middle of the infield.
Mesoraco triples with one out in the 13th
Can't wait to see that, a catcher hitting a triple.Originally Posted by HalKing
Following the 3-bagger by Mesoraco and an intentional walk to Hermida, Frazier wins it with a grounder to 2b... throw to the plate was too late to prevent Meso from scoring
Slow roller to 2b or does Mes have above avg speed for a catcher?
I'd rate him above average "catcher speed" but this was something of a high chopper. Looked like the second baseman considered trying for the inning ending DP prior to coming home with the throw. That split-second hesitation did the trick
Brandon Dailey, 3/4 with a triple, now checks in at .449. And our young stud reliever, Alejandro Chacin, has spun two more scoreless innings. The AZL Reds are tied at 4 heading to the bottom of the ninth.

He actually hit the first batter of the inning.
That Arredondo ERA is misleading. That's who I'd get rid of for him.
This was the most bizarre Mudcats game I have ever witnessed. Ok, so the game goes into a rain delay against the Suns in the fifth inning. After heavy, heavy rain, the Mudcats decided to go ahead and do the firework show before the game resumes. A halftime show, if you will. So The long blast show commences and there is cardboard all over the field. It takes almost an hour (plus some more light rain) before the game resumes. Gus takes the mound and gets the Mudcats out of the inning. Denis Phipps his a two-run bomb to take a 3-2 lead. Fast forward to the eigth inning and the Mudcats give up the lead. Then in the tenth the Mudcats give up two runs, making it 5-3 Suns.
Bottom of the 10th: Kris Harvey goes in for his third inning of work. Denis Phipps leads it off with a single into left. Quntin Berry then walks. Chris Hatcher replaces Harvey. Mike Costanzo pops out, one away. James Skelton walks. Bases are loaded, one out. Naftali Soto strikes out. Two away. With the bases loaded and two strikes on second baseman Henry Rodriguez, Pollo (Rodriguez's nickname) singles back up the middle, scoring Phipps and Berry. Game tied. Hatcher throws a wild pitch, moving the runners up to second and third. Then outfielder Felix Perez punches out at 12:52 AM. The umpires and the managers get together and suspend the game for the morning. It will continue tonight (Tuesday) at 6:15 in the top of the 11th with it 5-5. I have never seen anything stranger then these events that occurred on Monday night.
Also, Mudcats catcher Yasmani Grandal did not return after Monday's rain delay due to tightness in his throwing forearm.
Dales is on an absolute tear and says he's quite happy with the move to 2nd. He's cut down on his strike outs quite a bit since the 4th game which is essential for a lead-off guy.
