All four teams in the Astros system in action with Corpus winning in a walk-off. See how the prospects performed last night.

AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (14-19) lost 9-5 (BOX SCORE)

This game was closer than the score indicates. Starting pitching Shirley only went 4 innings and allowed just 2 earned runs.

Corpus with a great walk-off win. Cy Sneed got the start and was fantastic for the Hooks. Sneed went 5 shutout innings with 0 BB/5 SO. His fastball was sitting 93-94 MPH. Corpus got their scoring started in the bottom of the 4th. Hernandez led off with a single and then Bregman sent a deep shot to left for an RBI double. Bregman thought it was a homer but no replay available. Next batter, Derek Fisher, lined a 2 run HR to LF. Frias came in relief and gave up 2 runs in 2 innings. In the bottom of the 6th inning Gattis hit a 2 run HR to LF, his 4th with CC. Corpus took a 5-2 lead to the 9th but Frisco tied the game with 3 runs. Fisher led off the bottom of the 9th with a walk-off HR to fight fiedl, his 7th of the season.

Lancaster gets back in the win column. They jumped out to an early lead scoring 1 run in each of the first three innings.

QC scored two in the top of the 4th, thanks to a couple of errors. Mizell had a big night with an RBI double in the 6th inning and 3 run triple in the top of the 9th. Duarte also added an RBI double in the 8th inning. QC was 9-4 going into the 9th and that is when the wheels fell off.
