Chris Dominguez(LF)- 2 for 2, Assist(2B).  BA= .247.
Eric Hacker(RHP)- 7 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.71.

Chris Dominguez is hitting .359 with 2 dingers over his last 10 games...and he has a cannon for an arm.  Could he be lightning in a bottle?

AA Richmond Flying Squirrels edged the Akron Aeros 3-2:

Tommy Joseph(C)- 3 for 3, BB.  BA= .261.
Juan Perez(RF)- 2 for 4.  BA= .287.

Shawn Payne(DH)- 2 for 4.  BA= .311.

Kyle Vazquez(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.61.
Cody Hall(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(19).  ERA= 1.31.

Brett Krill was HBP 3 times in the 2 games.  Ouch!

Short Season  Tri-City Dust Devils topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 2-1:

Kentrell Hill(LF)- 2 for 4, SB(4).  BA= .267.
Joseph Rapp(1B)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .298.

Chris Johnson(RHP)- 3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.91.
Peter Tago(RHP, Dust Devils)- 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 16/3.  ERA= 5.89.

Don't panic folks.  Way too early to draw any conclusions about Stratton.  Peter Tago was a kid I liked a lot for the draft a couple years ago.  He's struggled so far in his pro career.

Rookie AZL  Giants downed the Rangers 9-6:

John Polonius(SS)- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .529.
Johnathan "Mac" Williamson(RF)- 1 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .300.

Chris Marlowe(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.59.

Williamson is showing off his power.  He should be moved up to S-K fairly quickly.  Polonius continues to impress with his play and with how he wears the uniform.
