Minor League Recaps: 6/9 - 6/12

Richmond Braves (23-41, 13.5 GB)

6/9: Richmond 1, Rochester 6 (Box Score)
Trey Hodges (0-2) allowed four runs in 4.1 innings, taking the loss in this 6-1 defeat by the Red Wings. The offensive impact was minimal, once again, as the decimated roster could only get one run on five hits. Scott Barnes had a 2-for-2 night with 2 walks.

6/10: Richmond 3, Rochester 1 (Box Score)
The R-Braves scored three quick runs and had good pitching by Seth Greisinger (3-4) and Macay McBride (SV, 2) to earn the victory on Friday. Greisinger allowed no runs on four hits in six innings. He walked none and struck out three. James Jurries' first inning two-run home run (9) was all the Braves needed in this one.

6/11: Richmond 3, Syracuse 4 (Box Score)
The R-Braves were looking for back-to-back wins, but the bullpen blew this one late (allowing all four runs in the eighth and ninth innings). Chris Mears (3-3) allowed the winning run in the top of the ninth. This bullpen implosion blew a great start by starter Zach Miner, who threw six scoreless innings. He allowed four hits, one walk, and struck out six. The offense had ten hits, but all were singles. Esix Snead, James Jurries, and Billy McCarthy had two hits a-piece.

6/12: Richmond 6, Syracuse 10 (Box Score)
The R-Braves and Sky Chiefs battled all night long, but the Chiefs ended up with the knockout blow (with three runs in the ninth) and the victory. Jeremy Ward (2-3) was credited with the loss coming out of the 'pen. Scott Pratt was 2-for-5 with a double and a triple. Scott Barnes and Esix Snead each had two hits.

Mississippi Braves (32-30, 3.0 GB)

6/9: Mississippi 4, West Tennessee 9 (Box Score)
The MissBraves fought hard to overcome an early deficit, but the DiamondJaxx were just a little too much for them in this one. Starter Matt Coenen (2-3) took the loss, allowing six runs in 4.1 innings. Casey DeHart allowed the final three runs to cross the plate. Wes Timmons was 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI. Iker Franco also had two hits and an RBI.

6/10: Mississippi 11, West Tennessee 8 (Box Score)
Even though the pitching was a little shaky, the offense exploded for the MissBraves victory. Onil Joseph and Jeff Francoeur each had great nights. Joseph went 2-for-3 with two triples and five RBIs. He's now hitting .253 after his rough start. Francoeur went 2-for-5 with three RBIs. Wes Timmons hit a solo home run, #4 on the season. Jonathan Schuerholz also had a great night, going 3-for-5 and is now batting .279. Starter Chuck James had his worst start at AA, allowing five runs (four earned) in two innings. Ryan Basner (1-5) pitched four scoreless relief innings to earn the win. Jorge Vasquez earned his 10th save with a scoreless ninth.

6/11: Mississippi 1, West Tennessee 2 (Box Score)
The Braves lost a rain-shortened eight inning game to the DiamondJaxx on Saturday. Starter Brian O'Connor (4-3) took the loss despite pitching well. O'Connor allowed two runs on five hits in seven innings. Luis Hernandez had the only Braves hits in this game. Hernandez was 2-for-3 with a triple and scored the only run.

6/12: Myrtle Beach 1, Kinston 2 (Box Score)
The Pelicans lost a pitching duel to the Indians last night, 2-1. Sean White allowed one run in six innings, getting the no decision.
