Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 2, Charlotte Knights 0 (Statcast Box)
The knights (60-75) managed to surpass the shrimp, but you would not know about the scoreboard. Seven hits, a lonely double from Dominic Fletcher and a big Gansei, who go 0-out-5 with runners in score position. Twice they have a man to third place, and twice they failed. No pinching coupling.
Shane Murphy finally got the bump to Charlotte after he dominated with Birmingham for a 10-4 record and a microscopic 0.85 Whip in 120-plus innings. Welcome to Triple-A, Kid: The shrimp greeted him roughly, with a run in the first together with a single, a walk, a wipe and a pocket fly. Jacksonville started with a solo shot in the third. Murphy’s Line: Five Innings, Two Runs, Four Hits, Two Walks, Four Punchouts. No disaster, but not the spectacular debut that we also hoped for. Kyle Tyler and Jairo Iriart came from the pen and names four innings of scoreless relief.
Chatanooga Lookouts 9, Birmingham Barons 5
The barons (76-53) spent early in a hole in chasing a 4-0 lookouts lead. Eventually, in the fifth, they found their foot: Corona doubled, Nishida hit him in and then immediately stole in front of a good measure. Bergolla hit a double to the left to place Nishida and Gladney contributed with a single to score Bergolla. It was now 4-3 and the barons looked like they were in. But Chattanooga quickly extinguished that comeback by answering with two runs in their half and three more in the seventh. Birmingham tried to scrape a rally together in the ninth – two points on a few ground batters, a walk and a single – but the gap was too deep.
The competition contained a showcase for a few of the best young arms of the system. Instead, Chattanooga partyed. Tanner McDougal, the prospect of Chicago’s no. 7, which has had a collection limit since July, was hit tonight: three innings, four points, seven hits, two walks, only one K. not exactly on that jewel of August 29, when he wore the Rokies for three frames. Tyler Schweitzer, no. 29, saw his scoreless streak (dating back to July 18!) In smoke and five points (four earned) on five hits in his two innings cough. Lime it as possible dead arms in the late season. Only Jared Kelly escaped unscathed and mopped without having anyone crossed.
Augusta Greenjackets 7, Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 0
The attack of the ballers (62-67) hit Snooze and never woke up. A lonely hit by five, a few meaningless singles threw in late, and that was the story. They hit a horrible 0-out-8 with runners in a score position, and not a single ballers-hard runner as the third base.
Luis Reyes got the start for Kannapolis. The 19-year-old righthander served a Solo-Homer in the second and then looked at another point cross thanks to a throw error in the third. That was it for Reyes, three innings and done. Madison Jeffrey came up and immediately poured gas on the fire: three points, two hits, a walk, a strikeout, all in a single inning. Pierce George and Blake Shepardson followed, each threw two frames and giving up a point, just to ensure that it was good and really out of reach.
