Minors Recap, 6/18

Scranton was postponed.  Again.

Trenton blanks Connecticut, 2-0

• Ryan Pope got the start, giving up 5 hits in 5 2/3 scoreless, and striking out 4.
• Wilkins Arias, JB Cox, and Amaury Sanit combined for 3 1/3 perfect innings.
• Austin Krum, recently promoted, was 1 for 2 with a walk and a steal.
• Noah Hall was 1 for 3.
• Eduardo Nunez was 1 for 4.
• Chris Malec was 1 for 2 with 2 walks.
• Jesus Montero, catching, was 1 for 2 with a double before leaving the game with what I have heard is a minor injury to his left (non-throwing) hand.  Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
• Marcos Vechionacci was 2 for 3.

Tampa falls to Palm Beach, 5-1 (7 innings, game 1)

• DJ Mitchell pitched the complete game, giving up 5 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings, and striking out 7.  The runs allowed aren’t great, but the strikeout to walk ratio is very nice.  On the season, his k:bb ratio is well over 3:1.

• Austin Romine was 1 for 3 with a double.

Tampa defeated by Palm Beach, 3-2 (7 innings, game 2)

• Mitch Hilligoss was 1 for 3.
