Games of Friday, May 28
The Mace Minor League Player of the Day is Little Nicky Delmonico, AAA Louisville DH. Delmonico st(e)aked the Bats to a first inning lead with a two-run single and added a run-scoring double in the 4th inning to lead Louisville to a win over the Mud Hens of Toledo. His 2 - 4 night with 3 RBI is just enough to eke out a POD award, as two Red squads were squashed (squished?) by the rain.
Honorable Mention, on a day that saw the Red minor league ladder go 1 - 1 with few standouts:
Brantley Bell, AAA Louisville RF: 2 - 4, SB, 2 R, RBI, BB. Bell's been serviceable as a utility guy in Louisville this season. He had a good game but didn't quite toll for me.
Phillip Diehl, AAA Louisville LHRP: Dropped his ERA to 1.17 (7.2 IP) with an inning of 2K, one-hit adequacy.
Alejo Lopez, AA Chattanooga 2B: Another day, another mention on the Hot Sheet. Lopez had two safeties and a SB on the night.
Miguel Figueroa, AA Chattanooga RP: 1 IP, 1 H, 2 K. Again, there's not much that happened on the farm. Shrug.
