Down on the Farm: 4/26/2014

Catch up time.  I was at conference in Vegas from Friday evening through about noon today.  My Gosh!  What a awful place!  I was off the strip in the Embassy Suites.  Got a few posts in between meetings between my iPad and the hotel business center, but its a lot easier to post on my own computer.  Traffic was awful coming back.  It seemed like all of SoCal must have been in Vegas for the weekend and all headed back at the same time!  Enough complaining!  On with the report from Saturday's minor league games:

AAA  Game 1  Albuquerque Isotopes edged the Fresno Grizzlies 1-0:

Nick Noonan(SS)- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .429.
Mitch Lively(RHP)- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 6.95.
George Kontos(RHP)- 2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.40.

AAA Game 2  Albuquerque Isotopes topped the Fresno Grizzlies 2-0:

Edwin Escobar(LHP)- 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.88.

AA Game 1  New Britain Rock Cats beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-4:

Tyler Graham(CF)- 3 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .377.
Adalberto Mejia(LHP)- 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.50.

AA  Game 2  Richmond Flying Squirrels got past the New Britain Rock Cats 5-2:

Kyle Crick(RHP)- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.84.
Derek Law(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, Save(4).  ERA= 1.08.

Crick threw 53 pitches in the 1.2 innings, so I am surmising he went over 30 in the second inning and that is why he got pulled.

High A  Bakersfield Blaze outlasted the San Jose Giants 6-3 in 11 innings:

Jesus Galindo(CF)- 1 for 3, 3B, BB.  BA= .348.
Joe Biagini(RHP)- 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K's.  ERA- 2.57.

Low A  Asheville Tourists topped the Augusta Greenjackets 3-2:

Ryder Jones(SS)- 2 for 4.  BA= .269.
Matt Lujan(LHP)- 6 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.19.
Dan Slania(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.12.
