Flores was money today for Kannapolis. The Intimidators won 9-1 to complete a 4 game sweep over Greensboro. 5 IP, 1 ER, 3 K 0 BB, 5 H for Flores. He has been doing pretty well so far. Schnurstein helped himself out of a slump with a 4 hit night. Box Score

Look at the relief from Allen for Munoz, he is getting me excited whether or not he looks good, his stats the past 2-3 weeks have to be pretty damn good. 2 hits for Yan, Munoz now 6-0, Vets hit.

Bham wins 7-3 over Montgomery. Yan had 2 more hits and is now batting a solid .291. 3 M's with HRs: Murphy, McNeal, and Maldonado. Munoz with a nice start and a win to move to 6-0. We should have called him up. Seriously, I was pleased with how Diaz did. He showed me some good control and the Sox won, hard to argue with that. Allen had 7 Ks in 3 innings only give up a HR. He has been turning it around. Box Score

[DBAHO]

Looks like Rex won't be able to see B.J Upton this season,

 

Devil Rays No. 1 prospect B.J. Upton moved up to Durham after batting .327-2-15 for Double-A Montgomery. Considered the best prospect in the minors, the 19-year-old shortstop is quickly on his way to making his debut at Tropicana Field this season.

[Gene Honda Civic]

Munoz was terrible tonight -- He raised his ERA from 1.28 to 1.30 :puke

 

 

-------------------------------

 

Seriously though check out the stats for Brad Thompson, also in the Southern League -- 22 YO in the cardinals oganization who was in Low A ball last season. Unreal.

 

Southern League pitching leaders

[CubsSuck1]

First of all, ARNALDO F'N MUNOZ! I think he may have found his true calling as a starter. I look forward to seeing big things out of him.

 

Second of all, Anderson continues to dominate. I'm really glad he was able to rebound from his injury last year and is living up to being a first round draft pick.

 

Kudos to all of the minor leaguers, though, they all seem to be doing well. Except maybe Wright :puke

Cheat you trying to work my kind of sarcasm? lol

 

On a side note, I am not sure, but I think Munoz set a Southern League record for most consecutive wins by a pitcher with tonight's win.

 

I take that back........ he tied the record with 12 straight wins....

I was disappointed when I heard that yesterday... even made a post about it on another board..

 

I did see him Monday when I made a trip down to Montgomery. Unfortunately, he had a death in the family the one time Montgomery was in Birmingham and he missed the series. So one game is all I got.

[Gene Honda Civic]

Rex,

 

I'd be interested to hear your toughts on this Thompson kid on Tennessee(Cardinals) if you get the chance to see him -- I had never heard of him before tonight, but I looked at the Southern League Pitching stats, and was amazed by his record(5-0), K/BB ratio(10:1) and ERA(0.00), I then looked up his past stats to see he spent all but 2 games in Low A ball last season.

Tennessee doesn't come to Birmingham until June 30, so if he is still there, I will try and catch him then. Like the Majors, the Southern League has an unbalanced schedule and June 30 - July 3 is the only time they come to town all year.

Avalanche holds off Warthogs in ninth

 

Winston-Salem's rally comes up just short; Hogs going on the road

 

 

By Dan Collins

JOURNAL REPORTER

 

The Salem Avalanche got out of Ernie Shore Field one step ahead of the broom last night.

 

Reliever Mark McLemore fanned Brian Becker and Ricardo Nanita with the bases loaded in the ninth to preserve the Avalanche's 10-9 victory and avoid a sweep of the three-game series. In doing so, he denied a desperate, if belated, bid by the Warthogs to reach the .500 mark for the first time this season.

 

Down 10-6 going into the bottom of the ninth, the Warthogs pushed across three runs, with two coming on a one-out, bases-loaded double by Brian Anderson. But after Manager Russ Nixon of the Avalanche chose to have Casey Rogowski walked intentionally, McLemore struck out Becker and Nanita with the potential tying run only 90 feet from home plate.

 

The Warthogs will embark on a seven-day trip to Lynchburg and Salem before returning on May 21 for a three-game home series against division leader Kinston.

 

"You can't give up 10 runs and hope to win," Manager Ken Dominguez said. "Our kids battled and never quit, which has been their M.O. the entire season.

 

"They don't quit and they don't give up. We're one hit away from stealing a victory right there."

 

The Warthogs rapped 15 hits - including three doubles - and had two sacrifice flies, yet battled uphill from the time the Avalanche grabbed a 7-1 lead in the third off struggling starter Byeong Hak An. The Avalanche chased An in an unsightly five-run third during which the Warthogs made two errors, walked two, threw a wild pitch and gave up two stolen bases and three hits.

 

An, a left-hander from Bu Chun City, South Korea, fell to 0-4 as his earned-run average soared to 6.61. The statistics stand in contrast to those of last year, when An was 13-7 with a 3.58 ERA while splitting time between Winston-Salem and Birmingham of the Class AA Southern League.

 

Dominguez said An's dropoff has been a source of concern for J.R. Perdew, the Warthogs' pitching coach.

 

"I just don't see the same guy right now," Dominguez said. "I know J.R.'s working with him, trying to figure out this thing. I don't know if it's focus, or it's mechanics right now. He's just not getting anything down in the zone and he's not commanding anything right now."

 

The Warthogs chipped away against starter Jason Hirsh (2-3) and relievers Jailen Peguero and Daniel Freeman, scoring three in the third, one in the sixth and another in the eighth to pull to 10-6. But when Freeman retired Carlos Lee on a grounder for the first out of the ninth, the Avalanche appeared ready to cruise out of Ernie Shore Field with the victory.

 

Then Pedro Lopez, Tommy Nicholson and Andy Gonzalez singled in succession to load the bases and prompt Nixon to pull Freeman in favor of left-hander McLemore to face Ryan Sweeney, a left-handed hitter. Sweeney grounded to second, but shortstop Ryan Stegall dropped the throw from Jon Helquist as the Warthogs scored a run and kept the bases loaded.
