Greenville L 6-8 (In 15)
Can't imagine those 6 scoreless innings did the hitters any good. Oh well, here we go...
Reymond Fuentes: 1-8, 2 K, SB
Derrik Gibson: 0-6, BB, 2 K, SB
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 2-6, BB, 3 K, SB, A
-On a pretty good tear for a while now. Looking like it was just the DL sapping his stuff. Don't sleep on Hazelbaker.
Michael Almanzar: 1-6, BB, 3 K, PO
Kendal Volz: 5 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
-Not sure what caused the delayed start, but oh well. Way too many well-hit balls tonight. Not just a matter of defense. Everything on a line or in the air.
