We Could Be Heroes

Salt Lake beat Tucson 7-5 on a Chris Prieto homer. Snakes prospect Conor Jackson picked up his 32nd RBI, leading the league.
Arkansas whipped the Wranglers 9-1. Kendry Morales went 1-3 with two walks and three RBIs. Joe Saunders (7-5, 3.65 ERA) got the win on two hits through five innings, walking two and striking out four.
Bakersfield edged Rancho Cucamonga 6-5 despite an offensive effort that saw three Quakes homer. Each of catcher Bobby Wilson, RF Aaron Peel, and 3B Matthew Brown had solo home runs. Howie Kendrick went 2-5, both doubles.
On the strength of good outings from Drew Toussaint and Josh Leblanc (both 2-3, Toussaint with a walk), Cedar Rapids beat Ft. Wayne 4-3.
Three errors by Casper contributed to a 6-0 Orem win. SS Hainley Statia, recently reassigned from Rancho (no surprise, given the presence of Wood there) walked three times.

Jacksonville had the night off.
Vero Beach blanked Sarasota 8-0. Five Dodgers had multihit games including .331/.359/.448 2B Tony Abreu, who walked, doubled, and tripled. Danny Muegge (5-2, 3.43 ERA) got the win, giving up four hits in six innings, striking out seven.
Columbus lost 6-3 to Hickory. Travis Denker went 3-4, all singles. Blake DeWitt (2-4, 2 RBI), Lucas May (2-4), and Gabriel Gutierrez (2-3, 1 BB) all had multihit games in the loss.
