Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 3 Visalia Rawhide 0
A tough loss for the Rawhide in this one, especially when every player on the Rawhide except Raymel Flores had a hit. The lack of offense stings, especially with a decent start from Riley Smith, who pitched six innings, and gave up three runs (two earned) on 8 hits and 2 walks, while striking out five. The unearned run came thanks to a throwing error by catcher Dominic Miroglio in the first. Tyler Mark pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, giving up a hit and a walk, and struck out three. Tommy Eveld tossed 1.1 scoreless innings, giving up a hit and a walk as well.
The Rawhide offense showed up for work today, getting 10 hits and 3 walks, but they couldn’t capitalize on all the base runners, going 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, and 12 men left on base. Camden Duzenack and Dominic Miroglio were both 2 for 4 wih a double, although Duzenack reached base a third time by drawing a walk. Marcus Wilson reached base twice, going 1 for 4 with a walk. Pavin Smith reached base twice as well, going 1 for 3 with a walk.
Kane County Cougars 0, Great Lakes Loons 1
A really tough loss for Cougars starter Jeff Bain, who pitched six innings, and only allowed a run on three hits and a walk, and struck out seven. Erbert Gonzalez pitched two scoreless innings, giving up two hits and a walk, and struck out two.
The Cougars only reached base eight times in the game, on three walks and five hits. Ernie De La Trinidad was the only Cougars batter with any real success in the game. Trinidad went 3 for 4 with a double, the only Cougar with an extra base hit in the game. Yan Sanchez and Luis Alejandro Basebe both had a hit apiece, accounting for the rest of the hits. Yoel Yanqui, Joey Rose, and Renae Martinez each drew a walk, accounting for the rest of Kane County’s base runners.
