CHATTANOOGA - UNDERWAY - 7-4 - Hunter Greene is matched up against Shane Baz for the second time this series. Baz allowed 1 run over 4 innings, Greene 2 over 5. Call it a draw.

The Lookouts have jumped out to a 2 - zip lead in this contest, courtesy a two-run shot off the bat of Lorezon Cedrolla (1).

DAYTON - FINAL - 8-4 - Dayton finishes up its 6-game set with a 3-3 record against Lansing, losing 3-1.

Eduardo Salazar pitched respectfully for 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. He walked 1, and fanned 4 batters.
Sam Hellinger added 2 scoreless frames.
Karsen Lindell worked a shutout 9th.

Dragons' bats were pretty much silenced today, as they managed just 4 safeties. Three came off the bat of Brian Rey, as he continues his torris start to the season. (.450 BA. 1.467 OPS).

CHATTANOOGA - The Biscuits mount a rally, but can't dent the scoreboard: two infield singles and a walk load the bases with one down. Hunter then muscles up and strikes out the next two hitters.

LOUISVILLE - FINAL - 3-8 - The Bats blow a 4-1 lead, falling 5-4. The starting pitcher Ashton Godeau had an off start: 4.2 IP, 5 H, 3 ER. 3 R, 5 BB, 4 K. Braden Shipley (1.1), Brad Brach (1) and R.J. Alaniz (.1) were unscored upon out of the bullpen.

CHATTANOOGA - Alejo Lopez is 2-2. Jose Garcia has singled and a double.

Jose Garcia TOOTBLAN's to end the top of third. Standing on first with two away, Wilson Garcia hits one that sends the rightfielder to the wall. Jose, thinking its at least off the wall, takes off. The ball is caught with the outfielder pinned against the wall. An easy lob to first completes the double play.

CHATTANOOGA - Leadoff double off Greene to start the third. No problem. Hunter strikes out the next hitter, picks off the runner on second, and gets out number three swinging. 6 Ks through 3 innings.

[texasdave]

DAYTONA - UNDERWAY - 6-5 - The Dragons will attempt to even up their series with St. Lucie at 3 games each today. They send Carson Rudd to the mound. Rudd has come out of the pen 3 times here in 2021. This is his first start for the 'Tugas.
He has faced the minimum 6 batters through his first two innings today, and has punched out 4 of them.

CHATTANOOGA - Hunter Greene continues to mow down opposing stickmen with 8 Ks in four innings. He has thrown just 59 pitches, with 42 of them being strikes. Greene's ERA is down to 1.93 and falling.

Greene tossing 6 innings of three-hit, two-walk (10 K) shut-out baseball might be the best happening of the day.

Greene and Lodolo-- with Santillan, O'Brien, and Gutierrez-- give me some hope for the next couple of seasons. Garcia looks like a keeper as well.

Hendrick, Callihan, and company are further away. Maybe Rey and Cerda join that company. Maybe not.

Probably the best story of the whole minors, which is really saying something since Jose Garcia has a 1.168 OPS. Too bad this side of the board has shed a lot of activity over the last few years because even the deep cynics would have be impressed at the moment.

Nah.

They'd find something to be dismissive of.

I'm still around. Definitely happy.

[UKFlounder]

The OP says he gave up 2 runs in 5 innings.

What am I missing or misreading?

Was there just one out when that happened?

These two pitchers matched up in the first game of the series. I was saying that Hunter gave up 2 runs over 5 innings in that first meeting. Sorry for any confusion.
