Loading ...Louisville Bats
The Bats were off yesterday.
Chris Valaika and Tonys Gutierrez each went 2-4 in the game and scored 3 of the Lookouts 5 runs. One of Valaika’s hits was a double. Shaun Cumberland hit his 7th homerun of the season and Eric Eymann added 2 more rbis to his total, giving him 10 in 2 games.
Ben Jukich had an oustanding start, giving up 1 run on 6 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings pitched. Ben struck out 8. He is now 4-2 with a 2.25 ERA in 56 innings pitched.
There wasn’t a lot of offense in this one for the Reds. The club managed just 5 hits, 1 of which was a 2-run homer by Jason Louwsma, his 3rd homerun of the season.
This game was pretty much over in the 4th when Brevard County scored 7 runs. Daniel Guerrero gave up 7 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 3.2 innings pitched to pick up the loss.
It was mentioned in the game thread last night, but I think Matt Klinker needs to add “Posting on Redleg Nation” to his pre-game routine! Matt pitched 7 shutout innings yesterday, scattering just 3 hits and striking out 6 to improve to 3-2 on the season. Matt had struggled in his previous two starts, but was outstanding yesterday.
Reds #1 pick, Devin Mesoraco, hit his first homerun of the season in this game. Devin continues to struggle to this point, batting just .154/.214/.269 in 26 at-bats.
I really appreciate you guys keeping us up to date with the farm system. I do have one suggestion, though: perhaps put the team’s overall record up with the report each day.
I enjoy the Down on the Farm posts as well. Keep up the great work guys.
