Minors Recap, 5/4

Scranton defeats Indianapolis, 7-5

• George Kontos, recently promoted to Scranton, struggled a bit.  In 4 1/3 innings, Kontos gave up 5 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 4.
• Zach Kroenke, Anthony Claggett, and Brett Tomko combined for 4 2/3 innings of 2-hit, shutout relief.
• Kevin Russo was 4 for 5.  He’s hitting a torrid .436 on the season (albeti in only 39 AB’s).
• John Rodriguez was 2 for 4 with a double and a homer.
• Shelley Duncan was 1 for 5 with his 10th homer of the season, and is hitting .347 overall.
• Juan Miranda was 2 for 4 with a walk.
• Austin Jackson was 2 for 5, although he also k’d 3 times.

Trenton’s game against Bowie was postponed

Tampa blanked by Daytona, 6-0

• Lance Pendleton started, giving up 6 runs on 9 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings, and striking out 2.
• Jesus Montero, catching, was 0 for 2 with a walk.  According to Mike over at RAB, he apparently left the game in the 8th with a leg injury.  Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
• Damon Sublett was 0 for 3 with a walk.
• Brandon Laird was 2 for 3.
• Austin Romine was 1 for 4.
• Mitch Hilligoss was 2 for 4.

Dance Flick the movie

Charleston falls to Greenville, 4-2

• Brett Marshall got the start, giving up 3 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 4 2/3 innings, while striking out a season-high 4.  His season ERA is an unimpressive 6.66.
• Pat Venditte did his usual thing, striking out 3 and allowing just 1 hit in 1 1 1/3 innings of relief.  His numbers on the season: 11 2/3 IP, 7 h, 0 BB, 0 ER, 21 k’s.  Just absurd.  Get him to Tampa stat.
• Ray Kruml was 1 for 4 with a double and a steal.
• Taylor Grote was 1 for 4.
• Brian Baisley was 1 for 2 with a walk.
• Melky Mesa was 2 for 3 with a double, a walk, and an outfield assist.
• Carmen Angelini and Garrison Lassiter were each 0 for 4, but were also errorless.  Kudos, but I’d like to see some more offense from Angelini.
