Minor League Scorebook
News
This is not, strictly speaking, minor league news, but I have to admit I find it amusing that contemporaneous to today's 17-inning snoozer in San Diego, the Dirtbags ended up winning a 14-inning marathon game with a five-run rally in a game that lasted 5:45. Long Beach starter Omar Arif didn't last two innings, and so it was a relay race to the end, as nominal closer Bryan Shaw was used early; Daniel Wolford got the win in a game where Jason Corder drove in five runs all by himself.Scores

Figgins: 2-3, 1 2B
Gorneault: 0-0, 1 BB
Murphy: 1-3, 2 RBI
Morales: 0-4, 2 K
Mathis: 0-4
Evans: 1-3, 1 BB, 2 K
Liriano: (L, 1-3), 4.2 IP, 5 R, 5 ER, 8 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 3 HR, 7.94 ERA
Chone Figgins went 2-3 with a double as the DH in a loss to Sacramento; the story was really Pedro Liriano, who surrendered home runs to River Cats Jason Stokes, slap-hitting former Dodger prospect Antonio Perez, and J.J. Furmaniak in a five-run fifth. The fusillade included a double by former Angel Lou Merloni; Matt Wilhite came in to restore order. Marcus Gwyn struck out the side in the top of the ninth.

Here's something weird that you may have missed: Terry Evans has mainly been batting sixth this year, as he did today. He's behind even Jeff Mathis in the lineup these days, who normally bats fifth. It's a strange place to be for a guy who's still managing to put together a .313/.340/.521 line in the six hole, and .305/.348/.524 overall.
2007-04-29: Wichita 1, Arkansas 5 #
Sandoval, F: 1-4, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K
Rodriguez, S: 0-3, 1 BB
Wilson: 0-2, 1 BB
Collins: 0-3
Adenhart: 7.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 6 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 0.80 ERA
Edwards: (W, 2-1) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 3.65 ERA
Freddy Sandoval's grand slam got the Travs a win as neither team could bust through the starters. It wasn't one of Nick Adenhart's best outings (only four strikeouts in seven innings), but he got the job done, giving up no runs on six hits and a walk. Bill Edwards was the lucky recipient of Sandoval's gift, giving up one earned run in relief.

Mattison: (BS, 1)(L, 0-2) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 1.15 ERA
Tim Mattison took the loss for allowing a solo homer to überprospect Justin Upton. The dinger was his fifth in five days. Jebus.

2007-04-29: Lansing 8, Cedar Rapids 5 #
Smith: 0-5, 4 K
Phillips: 3-5
Pettit: 3-5, 2 2B, 1 K
Trumbo: 1-4, 1 2B, 3 RBI
Sweeney: 2-3, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Perez: 2-4, 1 RBI
Mount: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
Schoeninger: (L, 3-1), 7.1 IP, 6 R, 4 ER, 12 H, 6 K, 0 BB, 2 HR, 2.86 ERA
Browning: (BS, 1), 0.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 6.43 ERA
As a former NCAA pitcher, Tim Schoeninger ought to be blowing these guys away considering he's a little older than most of them. This is the second time this season he's surrendered 12 hits in a game, and this time two of them left the yard. He also didn't help his own cause by throwing away a pickoff toss, one of three Cedar Rapids errors that proved harmless.
Phillips: 3-5
Pettit: 3-5, 2 2B, 1 K
Trumbo: 1-4, 1 2B, 3 RBI

Stantrel Smith went 0-5 with a golden sombrero at the leadoff position; he's now batting .162. P.J. Phillips and Christopher Pettit both went 3-5, Pettit with a pair of doubles. Mark Trumbo drove in three of Cedar Rapids' five runs on a double, marking the first time since April 10 with a hitting streak of any kind.

Abreu: 1-5

Kemp: 1-4, 1 2B
LaRoche: 1-4
Kuo: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 4.50 ERA
Houlton: (L, 2-1) (in relief), 5.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 2.28 ERA
Brazoban: 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
D.J. Houlton got his strikeouts, but it was the longball what killed him, as former Mariners shortstop-of-the-future Mike Morse blasted one out of the yard and went 3-for-4 punishing the 51's pitching staff. Morse was one of the returns in 2004's Freddy Garcia trade, and got some sizeable playing time in 2005. He has since had discipline problems, including multiple suspensions, one of which was for using over-the-counter banned substances. He's fallen off the Mariners' radar and needs to re-establish himself as a prospect.

Hong-Chih Kuo started the game and Houlton took over in relief in the top of the third in what appears to be a tandem start. James Loney drove in the game's only run for Las Vegas on an RBI single. Yhency Brazoban also made an appearance, striking out two.

Troncoso: (W, 3-0) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 1.23 ERA
Better late than never: Down 4-3 in the bottom of the tenth, the 66ers staged a three-run rally that got Ramon Troncoso off the hook for the one run he allowed in the top of the frame. Adam Godwin got a leadoff walk, and Ivan De Jesus moved him over with a sac bunt. But then Ryan Rogowski singled and stole second during Lucas May's at-bat. May then drove a walkoff homer over the left field wall. May drove in five of the 66ers' six runs.

Not to be forgotten was Javy Guerra's excellent outing, seven strikeouts while allowing only two hits and three walks. Guerra has started six games so far this year, but has lasted five innings or more in only two of them, and of course in his only shutout game, he finds himself ineligible for the victory. Such is baseball.

Scary that a ranked team would need 14 innings to defeat Pacific, which is winless in the Big West
