Its your last minute, call to the bullpen, minor league update. Dunedin played a wild one last night. They started the ninth up 6-1. Florida scored six runs to take a 7-6 lead. Dunedin said we can top that, four straight singles in the bottom of the ninth gave them a walk off win. Buffalo had a nice start from Brett Anderson and a couple of long balls to win. New Hampshire also had a walk off win. Lansing continued to lose. What a contrast in Lansing. The first half had Bo and Vladdy and Brad Jones and Edward Olivares and decent pitching. Now the hitters are all in Dunedin and the pitchers were injured. From the penthouse to the outhouse in Lansing. Vancouver dominated thanks to two pitchers, Bluefield battered the opposition while the GCL Jays lost.

Brett Anderson had an excellent pitching line for Buffalo, 5.1 1 0 0 2 2. Excellent except for the strikeouts. He did have nine ground balls vs. 2 fly outs. Christian Lopes and Teoscar Hernandez each hit a home run and each had three RBI. Jason Leblebijian had two hits. His batting average is now .247. Remember all those calls for him to be promoted? Fun times.


New Hampshire won in 12 innings on the exciting walk off wild pitch. Sean Reid Foley allowed four hits and no runs through five, gave up a solo home run in the sixth and was pulled in the seventh after two singles started the inning. Andrew Case allowed both runners to score but overall it was a good start for SRF. New Hampshire had 15 hits with all the starters getting one or two. No home runs though.


As mentioned above Dunedin won in a walk off. Juan Kelly had three hits, Vladdy two and Bo one. Edward Olivares is starting to find his footing, he had two hits. Taylor Saucedo had a nice start.


Lansing lost, David Jacob had two hits.


Nate Pearson threw four innings this time, no hits, five K's. His season line is 17 IP, 4 H, 21 K's and no runs. Travis Bergen matched him with four shutout innings with five K's. Bergen gave up one hit. Vancouver did win, Norberto Obeso was 3-3.


Bluefield won a wild one 11-10. We won't talk about the pitching but the hitters had 16 hits. McGregory Contreras had three hits with a home run. Ryan Noda had two with a home run.


The GCL Jays lost 4-3. They had just six hits, Jol Concepcion started and pitched well.


Your three stars are Teoscar Hernendez, McGregory Contreras and the Nate Pearson/Travis Bergen combo.
