Author ArchiveBatavia was the only team scheduled to play a game tonight. That game was postponed. Here is a couple discussion topics in its place.
Only four teams laced upthe cleats last night and it didn’t go well for three of them. Boone Whiting was a tough luck loser despite a great start and John Gast pulled himself together with a great start of his own. Let’s get to the good stuff…. There was a little bit of everything down on the farm last night. There were good pitching performances by Scott Gorgen, Ryan Sherriff and Ben O’Shea.

Overall the farm went 6-2 on the night. Let’s get to the good stuff….. Springfield, who has been receiving a nice contribution from Mike O’Neill, was the only farm team to post a win on the night.

Matt Williams, Casey Rasmus and Jeremy Patton all had a nice day at the plate which helped power Quad Cities to a victory. Johnson City posted a win and Ben Freeman had a nice start for Batavia though his bullpen let the victory slip away. Let’s get to the good stuff…. Quad Cities posted a win and Johnson City swept a doubleheader. Brandon Dickson, Sam Gaviglio and Stalyn Lopez performed well on the mound and Oscar Taveras carried a big stick but did not speak softly. Let’s get to the good stuff….
