Arizona Fall League (AFL)

Surprise Saguaros 3 – 1 Mesa Solar Sox
Glendale Desert Dogs 1 – 0 Salt River Rafters
Peoria Javelinas 3 – 1 Scottsdale Scorpions

When it comes to baseball, sometimes, luck just isn’t on your side. The Javelinas starter, Anthony Misiewicz, tossed four scoreless innings and gave up only one hit, despite not missing a single bat! This game would remain scoreless until the top of the seventh inning.

After getting the Scorpions out of a bases loaded jam in the sixth, Gerson Bautista stayed in the game for the seventh inning and immediately got into trouble allowing a double and a sac bunt to put a runner on third with only one out. Bautista would be able to get the second out via a pop-out to third base but would give up an RBI triple one batter later to give the Javelinas a 1-0 lead before finishing off the inning.

The Scorpions would get that run back in the bottom of the seventh and called on Joe Zanghi to hold the score at 1-1. Zanghi would get the lead-off batter to fly out to start the inning, but back to back singles by top prospects Lucius Fox and Keston Hiura would give the Javelinas a chance to pull ahead. Similar to Bautista’s performance, Zanghi would get the critical second out but proceeded to give up the big hit right after. A two RBI double off the bat of Joe McCarthy would score both Fox and Hiura to give the Javelinas a 3-1 lead, handing Zanghi the loss.

With the loss the Scorpions fall to (5-4) on the season but remain in a tie for first place as Salt River and Mesa also both lost. The Peoria Javelinas improved to (6-3).

Mexican Pacific League (LMP)

Charros de Jalisco 6 – 1 Caneros de los Mochis
Mayos de Navojoa 15 – 0 Yaquis de Obregon
Tomateros de Culiacan 3 – 2 Aguilas de Mexicali
Naranjeros de Hermosillo 11 – 10 Venados de Mazatlan

Copeland had a lot of trouble finding the plate last night as he only threw 53% of his pitches for strikes. In the first inning, he walked two batters in the first inning but was able to get out of the inning with a double play and a strikeout.

In was the second inning, a double and two walks loaded the bases with two outs. The ensuing two out rally would drive Copeland out of this game as he surrender three straight singles, allowing four runs to score. Despite fifteen hits for the Naranjeros, Brentz was relatively quiet in this one. After his RBI single in the bottom of the first inning, Brentz would not contribute any further to the team’s victory.

Dominican Winter League (LIDOM)

Estrellas de Oriente 1 – 0 Leones del Escogido
Toros del Este 2 – 0 Aguilas Cibaenas

With Smith struggling to produce, the Toros started Carlos Franco at first base instead tonight. Smith would make an appearance in the bottom of the seventh inning when he came on as a defensive replacement at first base. He would get an AB in the top of the ninth inning but flied out to center field.

Gigantes del Cibao 4 – 1 Tigres del Licey

Another day, another RBI for Terdoslavich as he has registered an RBI in each of the five games he has played in so far. This one came early in the game as he grounded one up the middle and into center field to drive in a runner from second base.
