Louisville trails 3-0 with Buffalo still batting in the bottom of the third.

[texasdave]

In action out West later on the evening, Pat Doyle will make just his third start of the season as the Blaze hope to roast the Nuts of Modesto. Game fires up at 9:45 EDT.

[texasdave]

Everyone's favorite Mustang, Robert Stephenson, is on the hill tonight for Billings. He has had a couple of impressive outings in his short stint as a minor leaguer. 9IP 7H 2BB 12K. Game begins at 9:05 EDT.

[texasdave]

AZL Reds are starting at 10:00 EDT. No starter listed.

[texasdave]

Buffalo tacked on two more in the fourth and now lead Louisville by a margin of 6-0 heading into the fifth.

[texasdave]

Jackson got a leadoff single but that runner was erased on a double play ball. Ryan LaMarre led off the game with a double. And now a walk to Brodie Greene has runners at first and second with one out.

[dougdirt]

Ryan LaMarre had a double in the first. He just went deep in the second.

[texasdave]

Soft J. breaks up the no-no with a two-out single in the fifth. Buffalo continues to score in every inning. Not a winning formula. 7-0 Bisons. Travis Webb is on in relief.

[mace]

Ryan LaMarre had a double in the first. He just went deep in the second.

Corcino's getting some early support. It's 3-0 after two.

[texasdave]

Valentino Pascucci struck out in all three at-bats against Feierabend. He will be walking to the airport after the game.

[texasdave]

Radhames Q. has given up just one hit and struck out four through four. Sean Buckley is 2-2. Dayton leads 1-0.

[Kc61]

Josh Fellhauer with a walk and a hit, two RBI, tonight. Lefty hitter with an OBP of .385. Kind of player who could help the Reds, too bad he's only at AA.

[corkedbat]

Ryan LaMarre had a double in the first. He just went deep in the second.

I'd love to start seeing more of that.

[dougdirt]

Robert Stephenson is through 2. No hits, no walks, 3 strikeouts.

[dougdirt]

Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Corcino 6.0 3 0 0 2 5 0 3.15
Pitches-strikes: Corcino 63-39.


Corcino is not exactly pounding the strikezone tonight, but so far he is avoiding the walks. Rather pitch efficient though.

[dougdirt]

David Vidal took a slow curve at the knees over the left field wall. 5-0 Blue Wahoos.

[klw]

Any hope for an Amir Garrett sighting any time soon?

[mace]

Radhames Q. has given up just one hit and struck out four through four. Sean Buckley is 2-2. Dayton leads 1-0.

Trouble is, they took him out at that point. And put in Erik Miller. Dayton now trails 5-2 in the sixth.

[mace]

David Vidal took a slow curve at the knees over the left field wall. 5-0 Blue Wahoos.

Bryson Smith has joined the parade. 6-0.

[dougdirt]

Bryson Smith has joined the parade. 6-0.

Not sure if you are watching, but it was a BLAST.

[mace]

Not sure if you are watching, but it was a BLAST.

Could he be for real?

[mace]

Make that 8-2 in the Dayton game. Miller is charged with all 8 in one inning. If he gets it together, his ERA will normalize when he's about 32.

[dougdirt]

Could he be for real?

I would like to see him outside of a hitter friendly league first. AZL/BIL/BAK are all very hitter friendly leagues.

[mace]

Stephenson is dealing.

[dougdirt]

Stephenson is dealing.

Yeah. Been a groundball machine so far this season as well.

[camisadelgolf]

I'd love to start seeing more of that.
Looks like RZ is getting kinky this Friday evening.

[mace]

Louisville managed 3 singles in an 8-0 defeat, striking out a dozen times.

[mace]

Corcino has pitched eight good innings in 90 degrees (although the eighth yielded the only run).

[camisadelgolf]

Billy Hamilton doubles, steals second (95) and scores for a 1-0 Blaze lead.
It's not often you see a guy double and proceed to steal second base. The legend grows everyday.

[mace]

Corcino left after eight and Justin Freeman nailed it down, 6-1. Bryson Smith went 3-4 with a HR.

[corkedbat]

It's not often you see a guy double and proceed to steal second base. The legend grows everyday.

You may not see it often, but he just did it again. Doubled and stole 3rd for #96. :laugh:

This time he drove in Dominic D'Anna for a 2-0 lead. D'Anna was PRing for Devin Lohman who had walked. No explanation for why Devin left the game after stealing his 20th base. Hope it isn't anything serious.

[corkedbat]

Gettin' downright fugly in Goodyear. The Royals score 5 more in the fifth and lead 12-0. The Walk to Washington the triple for Paula and singles by Fahier and Reynoso have been the only base runners for the Reds through 5 complete.

Ugly pitching line for lefty Richard McCaffrey tonight in 3.0 innings work

AZL Reds

It's still ugly, but Tanner Rahier has hit his second professional HR. He's 2-3.

[corkedbat]

A bit of good news from Goodyear. The Reds are on the board on Tanner Rahier's 2nd HR of the season in the bottom of the 5th. Reds still trail 12-1.

So far tonight for Rahier:

2-3, R HR RBI - now hitting .310 for the season.

[corkedbat]

You may not see it often, but he just did it again. Doubled and stole 3rd for #96. :laugh:

This time he drove in Dominic D'Anna for a 2-0 lead. D'Anna was PRing for Devin Lohman who had walked. No explanation for why Devin left the game after stealing his 20th base. Hope it isn't anything serious.

Billy also scored on a 1 out GO by Donald Lutz.

The Nutz got one back in the Top of the 4th. 3-1 Blaze.

[texasdave]

It's not often you see a guy double and proceed to steal second base. The legend grows everyday.

He actually reverse stole first on the previous pitch. I think he wanted to steal both second and third but didn't get the opportunity. And as a quick aside, only players with special athletic abilities can double and then proceed to steal second.

:)

You know that was allowed pre 1900... wish we could do it at times now when they are going to IW Votto.

[mace]

Pat Doyle pulled off a pretty nice magic act tonight for Bakersfield. In 3.1 IP, he gave up six hits and three walks . . . and somehow, just one run.

[corkedbat]

With one out in the bottom of the 5th, Steve Selsky doubled and Juan Duran singled but they couldn't bring them around. Still 3-1 Blaze after 6.

[texasdave]

Hard to believe but Billy Hamilton doubled. Again. Stole second (96). Again. And scored. Again.

[corkedbat]

The AZL Reds scratch for 2 more in the bottom of the 8th, but there still just a quarter of the way there. 1-2 Royals going to the 9th.

AZL Reds Bottom of the 8th

Ty Washington strikes out swinging.
Avain Rachal strikes out swinging.
Tanner Rahier walks.
With Ronald Bueno batting, wild pitch by Torey Deshazier, Tanner Rahier to 2nd.
Ronald Bueno doubles (1) on a fly ball to right fielder Alex Hudak. Tanner Rahier scores.
Jonathan Reynoso reaches on throwing error by shortstop Diego Goris. Ronald Bueno scores.
Wilfrel Estevez flies out to left fielder Lance Harper.

[Kc61]

Hard to believe but Billy Hamilton doubled. Again. Stole second (96). Again. And scored. Again.

Once Hamilton gets his hundred steals, or latest at the major league all star break, he's in Pensacola. Seems clear.

[corkedbat]

Modesto makes it a 1-run game with a run in the top of the 7th. 3-2 Blaze.

[corkedbat]

The AZL Royals play add-on in the top of the 9th. The Reds trail 13-3 heading to their last hurrah.

[corkedbat]

The Blaze play payback. D'Anna doubles and Billy brings him around with his 3rd double of the game, but is picked of before he can steal 3rd again. 4-2 Blaze after 7.

[corkedbat]

Billy's night:

3-4, 2R, 3 2B, 2 RBI, 2 SB - now hitting .330

Of the four runs scored by the Blaze so far, Billy has scored two and driven in the other two (both scored by Dominic D'Anna).

[corkedbat]

The Blaze go out in order in the bottom of the 8th. Kyle McMyne on to try and nail down the save.

Amd he does. A 1-2-3 top of the 9th (the final out was a K). Blaze win 4-3.

[corkedbat]

The Blaze win gives the farm a .500 record on the night.

Pensacola, Bakersfield and Billings win.

Louisville, Dayton and Goodyear lose.

[klw]

Gettin' downright fugly in Goodyear.
