Minor League Roundup Memories from this day/past years :
I’ve been told no one reads the round ups anyways so I figured I can be a bit commemorative and introduce a new periodic segment - things that occurred on the same date that I wrote in the Minor League Roundup from prior years 🤓.
On 6/25/22 Johan Rojas had three hits ( single, double & home run) and also stole his 32nd base for Jersey Shore against Brooklyn. For Lehigh Valley Bailey Falter had the following line - 6 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 5 K’s - 76 pitches - 50 strikes in a win against Norfolk.
On 6/25/21 Mark Appel pitched five scoreless innings for LHV in a 6-3 win over SWB. Current Phillies Minor League Hitting Coordinator Jake Elmore scored two runs in the game for the IronPigs.
System Transactions :
