I watched this game.
RHP Micah Ottenbreit started and was very sharp going two perfect innings, he showed a fastball with strong life and both a curve and slider. Major league LHP Jose Alvarado threw a scoreless frame with two strikeouts. RHP Cam Wynne pitched two innings yielding one run on a wind aided home run. LHP Braeden Fausnaught threw two scoreless frames, he had two ground ball double plays made behind him. RHP Ethan Chenault looked really good (two perfect innings - 3 K’s) with velo, location and off speed spin.
Hendry Mendez had two hits - an RBI single and a triple off the right center field fence. Aidan Miller hit a two run home run and Eduardo Tait had an RBI single to left field. Bryson Ware stroked two singles - good looking hitter.
Mendez made a nice running catch in right field on a slicing line drive.
