RHP Kyle Haynes and RHP Dillon McNamara have been bumped up a level to Triple-A Scranton and Double-A Trenton, respectively, report Shane Hennigan and Matt Kardos. I assume Haynes will start Game Five for the RailRiders, if necessary. Right now their Game Five starter is TBA.
Triple-A Scranton (7-4 loss to Gwinnett) they trail the best-of-five Championship Series one game to none
- CF Mason Williams: 0-5, 1 K — first hitless game of the postseason
- LF Clint Frazier: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K — threw a runner out at third
- 3B Donovan Solano: 0-4, 1 BB, 1 K
- 1B Chris Parmelee: 0-3, 1 BB
- C Kyle Higashioka: 1-3, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — had a two-run single as part of their three-run seventh inning rally, which made the game a bit more interesting
- RF Jake Cave: 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — hit a solo homer for their first run
- 2B Cito Culver: 0-4, 1 E (fielding)
- LHP Jordan Montgomery: 0.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1/1 GB/FB — 24 of 38 pitches were strikes (63%) … brutal start to close out his season … he allowed four runs in 44 Triple-A innings before this game … the RailRiders held Lehigh Valley to three runs total in the first round of the postseason, and Gwinnett matched that in the first four batters of this game
- RHP Eric Ruth: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 3/2 GB/FB — 39 of 64 pitches were strikes (61%) … nice job giving them some distance after Montgomery’s dud
- RHP Matt Wotherspoon: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 15 of 28 pitches were strikes (54%)
- RHP Mark Montgomery: 1 IP, zeroes, 1/0 GB/FB — ten pitches, seven strikes
- LHP Tyler Webb: 1 IP, zeroes, 3 K — 13 pitches, 12 strikes
- RHP Johnny Barbato: 1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/0 GB/FB — 21 of 27 pitches were strikes (78%)
Double-A Trenton (6-3 loss to Akron) they trail the best-of-five Championship Series one game to none
- SS Tyler Wade: 1-4, 1 K — got picked off first
- CF Dustin Fowler: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K
- 3B Miguel Andujar: 1-4, 1 R, 1 3B — having himself a nice little postseason so far
- DH Mike Ford: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB — gave them a 2-0 lead with a first inning homer
- LF Mark Payton: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 3 K
- 1B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-4, 2 K
- RF Billy McKinney: 2-3, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB — fourth straight two-hit game … only one strikeout in those games too … sure would be cool if he got back to where he was last year
- 2B Abi Avelino: 0-4, 1 K
- RHP Ronald Herrera: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 8 K, 2/2 GB/FB — 55 of 93 pitches were strikes (59%)
- RHP Travis Hissong: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 2/1 GB/FB — 27 of 44 pitches were strikes (61%) … allowed all three of the runners he inherited from Herrera to score when he gave up the go-ahead grand slam
High-A Tampa lost the Florida State League Championship Series while both Low-A Charleston and Short Season Staten Island lost their first round postseason matchup. Their seasons are over.
The season is over for Rookie Pulaski, Rookie GCL Yanks East, and Rookie GCL Yanks West. None of the three teams qualified for the postseason.
