Louisville - Nashville breaks through against Takahashi with a two-run shot. They lead 2-0 in the bottom of the 6th.

Louisville hitters are struggling to put much of anything together.

[texasdave]

Chattanooga - Chattanooga hitters are having no problems tonight putting runs on the scoreboard. The Lookouts lead 9-2.

Salinas out after five. Figueroa in.

Wilson Garcia singles. Mark Kolozsvary and TJ Hopkins walk to set the stage. Braxton Lee doubles and lots of runs score.

Dayton - Runs are crossing the plate now, but not Dragons runs. It's 3-0 Lansing.

David Duarte walked 4 in his 1.1 innings.
Matt Gill is getting worked over as well.

Dayton stuck on one hit, a double by Quin Cotton.

[JaxRed]

Daytona - Lakeland is intent on snapping the Tortugas win streak tonight. They lead 6-2.

Every pitcher that has worked tonight for Daytona, should have called in sick.
Nick Howard is back for his first outing since May 26th. He has been in the organization for 6 years, and has missed three complete season. A for persistence though.

Nick Hanson....

[texasdave]

Daytona - Jake Gozzo is mad at the world. That's the only explanation for him hitting the first two batters he faced here in the 9th. Lakeland still leads 9-2, but double digit runs is well in sight.

[texasdave]

Nick Hanson....

Both have been Nicked Up for most of their careers. Neither is making the Show.

Both have been Nicked Up for most of their careers. Neither is making the Show.

I bet Nick Howard does. With someone.

Louisville - Trailing 2-zip heading into the 7th, something clicked for the Louisville offense. 7 runs later, they had themselves a 5-run lead, 7-2.

Chris Okey slapped a 2-run single.
Jose Garcia Barrero launched a 3-run rocket (2).
Rocky Gale doubled home runs 6 and 7.

Quin Cotton slapped the lone hit - a double.
Mariel Bautista walked twice.

[texasdave]

Daytona Recap - That snapping sound was Daytona's four-game win streak. They succumbed 7-2.

At least Jake Gozzo's run was interesting: HBP, SB, ERR, HBP, SF.

Ivan Johnson singled and doubled.
Austin Hendrick doubled, walked.

[texasdave]

El Paso is beating Albuquerque 16-0. And, it's a no-hitter on top of that.

[texasdave]

Louisville Recap - When you score all of your runs in one inning, you normally lose. But, not if you score 7 of them. Bats prevail 7-3.

Jose Barrero homered (2), walked, and was hit by a pitch. The home run was a 3-run blast.
Alfredo Rodriguez singled and tripled.
Rocky Gale singled and doubled.

Cedrola's production through 50 games and 200 ABs has been a pleasant development. If he can continue to work on base stealing and continue his present .475 SLG, the kid should not only make the majors, but could earn short-side platoon or fourth OF ABs.

He, Lopez, and Friedl have helped themselves quite a bit this season. (Rey did early, struggled after his promotion to AA, but looks to be righting the ship currently.)
