Minor League Update

With Day 1 of the draft over which saw a surprise pick (Colvin), a no surprise pick (Samardzija), and a son of a big leaguer (Lansford), minor league baseball still went on as well.

Iowa 3 Oklahoma 0 - Felix Pie hit his 6th HR of the year and went 2-5, although did get caught stealing dropping him to 4-11 on the year stealing bases. Les Walrond (6-1) pitched 8 shutout innings dropping his ERA to 2.16 and gave up 4 hits and didn't walk a batter. Kerry Ligtenberg continued his impressive relief pitching by finishing off the game for his 3rd save of the year. Ligtenberg's ERA sits at 1.33 after pitching in 18 games this season for the I-Cubs.

West Tennessee 1 Tennessee 0 - The D-Jaxx had only 2 hits, 1 from Chris Walker and 1 from Eric Patterson, but it turned out to be enough. Walker's hit was his 1st HR of the year in the 3rd inning and it turned out to be all that Randy Wells (3-2) needed. Wells ERA is now 1.12 on the season after he went 7 shutout innings to earn the win.

Jupiter 2 Daytona 1 - Jacob Fox went 3-4 with an RBI, although all 3 hits were singles, while Ryan Harvey went 0-4 to drop lower below the Mendoza line. Matt Holliman (3-4) took the loss going 6.1 innings giving up 2 ER, 5 hits, 1 walk, and striking out 7.

Peoria 6 Burlington 4 - Kyle Reynolds had 2 hits and hit his 3rd HR of the year, while Wes Norwood added 2 hits as well. Mark Reed moved back behind the plate and went 1-4, but drove in 2 runs. Matt Avery threw another 1.2 innings of scoreless work dropping his ERA to 1.34 on the season.
