AA action- Savery, Segovia both impress

The Reading Phillies rallied for 2 in the bottom of the 8th inning Friday night, to defeat Harrisburg, 2-1. Joe Savery started for Reading, turning in 6 solid innings, yielding just 1 run on 4 hits (on a home run by Edgardo Baez), while walking 1 and striking out 8. He left the game trailing 1-0. Michael Taylor and Brian Staviski each picked up their second hit of the game and drove in the 2 runs that Reading would need to pull out the win. Zack Segovia entered the game in the 3rd inning for Harrisburg, and tossed 4.1 shut out innings of relief. Zack gave up just 4 hits, NO walks, struck out 5 and was in position to pick up the win before Reading rallied off of Jack Spradlin. Antonio Bastardo pitched the last 2 innings for Reading, giving up 1 hit and 1 walk, striking out 1 and recording the victory.

In a game I overlooked from Thursday, Brian Schlitter made his debut for the Tennessee Smokies, giving up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks, recording just 2 outs in Jacksonville's 7-4 win.

Friday night in North Little Rock, Arkansas, Adrian Cardenas had a single, a double, a walk and an RBI to help Midland to a 4-0 triumph over Arkansas.
