Another day of baseball in the books. See how the teams and prospects performed in their games last night.

AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (15-23) lost 4-1 (BOX SCORE)

Coleman started last night for Fresno and started the game well tossing 3 scoreless innings but ended up allowing 4 runs over 5.2 innings. The offense struggled to get anything going and was being shutout until they got a run in the 9th on a Tucker sac fly. Comer and Thompson both had scoreless outings in relief.

Note: Comer has a 0.47 ERA with 22 K in 19 innings for Fresno.

AA: Corpus Christi Hooks (17-20) lost 4-0 (BOX SCORE)

Really rough night for the offense as they managed just 2 hits, a Ferguson double and a Stubbs single. Dykxhoorn got the start and allowed 4 runs on 10 hits in 5.2 innings. Ferrell tossed 2.1 scoreless innings with 3 strikeouts, very nice to see after his has struggled recently.

Note: After a slow start, Ferguson is now hitting .299 this season.


A+: Buies Creek Astros (23-15) won 4-2 (BOX SCORE)

The game was scoreless going into the 7th but Hermelyn broke the tie with a 2 run HR. Myrtle Beach tied the game with 2 in the bottom of the 7th but bounced right back with back to back RBI doubles from Martin and Straw to take a 4-2 lead. Garza tossed 2 scoreless innings to close it out.

Note: Valdez has a 2.56 ERA with 36 K in 31.2 innings this season.
