Mauricio Dubon SS- 1 for 5, HR(20).  BA= .302.
Cristhian Adames 3B- 2 for 4, 3B, SB(2).  BA= .299.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels outscored the Erie Seawolves 7-6:

Bryce Johnson LF- 3 for 5.  BA= .249.
Joey Bart C- 4 for 5, 2B.  BA= .259.
Heliot Ramos CF- 2 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .217.
Zach Houchins 3B- 2 for 4, HR(10).  BA= .242.
Sean Hjelle RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 7.08.
Sam Moll LHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.65.
Jamie Callahan RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 0.00.

It's taken awhile, but Joey Bart and Heliot Ramos seem to be acclimating to AA.  Hopefully this sets them up for a strong start next season.  Giants are going to have some interesting roster decisions this winter.  Sam Moll was a minor league phase Rule 5 draft pick, which I think makes him a minor league FA this winter if he's not added to the 40 man roster.
