AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 7-5:

Mac Williamson(LF)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .250.
Nick Noonan(SS)- 1 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .357.
Carlos Triunfel(3B)- 2 for 4, HR(5).  BA= .278.
Tommy Hanson(RHP)- 5.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 7.71.

Third 2-hit game in a row for Mac.  Nice bounceback start for Hanson.  He needs several of these in a row.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels edged out the Altoona Curve 5-4:

Ricky Oropesa(1B)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .249.
Myles Schroder(RF)- 1 for 4, BB, 2 SB(9).  BA= .250.
Joan Gregorio(RHP)- 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 3.36.
Phil McCormick(LHP)- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.36.
Kyle Crick(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.97.

High A San Jose Giants blanked the Lancaster Jethawks 3-0:

Andrew Susac(Catcher)- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .286.
Angel Villalona(1B)- 1 for 3, HR(9).  BA= .250.
Tim Hudson(RHP)- 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Chase Johnson(RHP)- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 14 Ks!  ERA= 2.43.

Johnson now has a 0.49 ERA in 9 appearances since the Cal League all star break.  On the season, he has 111 K's in 111 IP with 34 BB and a GO/AO of 1.61.  I am thinking that Johnson deserves to be in the top tier of Giants pitching prospects along with Beede and Bickford.  His numbers are actually better than Beede's!  Christian Arroyo left this game early.  No word as to why in the game write up on the SJ Giants website. Some tweets on Covechatter suggest it may be a left arm injury suffered on a contact play at 2B.  At least it's his left arm.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets beat the Asheville Tourists 4-2:

Chuckie Jones(LF)- 3 for 4, HR(3).  BA= .276.

Logan Webb(RHP)- 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 7/2.  ERA= 4.53.
Cory Taylor(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.95.

I continue to be impressed by what Webb is accomplishing at age 18 in the NWL.
