season winding down.....

In Louisville, the Bats beat the IronPigs, 7-4. Freddy Galvis had 2 more hits for Lehigh Valley and is up to .330 since his promotion from Reading. The book on Galvis is he is major league ready defensively, and if he can hit, he will be a major leaguer. Freddy, who won't be 22 until after the season, has had a break out season at the plate, hitting .282 overall in 128 games with Reading and Lehigh Valley.

In Reading, the R-Phils wasted a good effort from Tyler Cloyd, who went 7 solid innings, and gave up just 2 runs on 9 hits, NO walks, striking out 7, but Portland rallied for 2 in the 9th for a devastating 4-3 Sea Dogs win. Mike Spidale (.321) had 2 more hits and a walk for reading, who are now tied with New Britain for the final playoff spot, 3.5 games behind New Hampshire. The Fisher Cats dropped both ends of a doubleheader against Harrisburg, including being no-hit in the opener. In the nightcap, Anthony Gose hit his 15th home run of the year, and Bobby Korecky (3-3, 2.70) was the losing pitcher.

In Clearwater, Darin Ruf (.313) belted a double, his 16th home run (77 RBI) and walked twice as the Threshers came from behind for an 8-6 win over Lakeland. Jiwan James (2 singles, walk, 2 steals (27), RBI, 2 runs), Troy Hanzawa and Cesar Hernandez also had 2 hits for Clearwater.


In Colorado Springs, Jesus Merchan (.294) had 2 hits and a walk, and scored a run for the Sky Sox, who lost to Tacoma, 12-10............In Montgomery, Quintin Berry (.302) had 3 walks and scored 2 runs for the Mudcats, who lost to the Biscuits 12-9.................In Jackson, Darren Byrd struck out 3 of the 5 hitters he faced, recorded the final 5 outs of the Stars' 10-2 loss to the Generals.............In Midland, the Rockhounds took a pair from Corpus Christi, 2-1, and 3-2. Jonathan Villar was 2 for 6 on the day, and Josh Zeid threw 2 innings in the second game, allowing 2 runs, 1 earned on 1 hit and 1 walk.
