Another day of minor league baseball in the books. See the results below.

AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (66-49) won 15-14 (BOX SCORE)

Crazy game for Fresno last night. Fresno got on the board in the first on a Reed RBI double. They got 2 in the second on a Tanielu 2 run HR and 2 more in the 3rd on a Mayfield RBI triple and Reed sac fly. Sneed started for the Grizzlies but struggled allowing 7 runs in 1.1 innings. Mayfield added a solo HR in the 5th which made it 8-6. Tucker continued his hot streak connecting on a 2 run HR (16) in the 7th to tie it at 8. Fresno then exploded for 7 runs in the 8th on a Tucker RBI single, Mayfield 2 run double, Reed 3 run HR and another run scoring on an error. The bullpen almost gave it back allowing 3 in the 8th and 3 in the 9th but Ferrell came on and got the last out to seal it.

Note: Tanielu is hitting .341 with 2 HR, 6 RBI over his last 10 games.


AA: Corpus Christi Hooks (69-45) won 4-1 (BOX SCORE)
