5/16 Minor League Report! 420! (heh, Stoner!)

New Orleans 8, Nashville 10

Adam Bostick got BOMBED for 8 hits and 7 runs over just 3.1 innings, but the Zs rallied back to get him off the hook, and then take a brief 8-7 lead off Derrick Turnbow in the 8th, but Nate Field gave up 3 runs on 3 walks and a homer in the bottom of the 8th, providing the winning margin for the Sounds.

The offense was terrific in pounding out 13 hits and 8 runs. Every regular except Chris Aguila (0 for 5, RBI, 3 Ks, .268) got a hit, and 5 got multiple hits.

St. Lucie 2, Daytona 3

It was a very weird night in St. Lucie, with lineup changes and players showing up and playing out of position...but they still lost. Tobi Stoner continued his excellence on the mound, only giving up a run on 6 hits in 6 innings, but the bullpen, as it has most of this season, couldn't hold the lead. Casey Hoorelbeke surrendered the tying run in the 7th, and Ryan Coultas gave up the winning run in the 9th.

As I said, the lineup was ... interesting for the Mets tonight. DJ Wabick (lf), Luis Rivera (2b), Josh Thole (c), Lucas Duda (1b), Ezequiel Carrera (cf), Jason Jacobs (rf), Ruben Tejada (ss), Leivi Ventura (3b), Josh Petersen (dh). It was Jacobs first career OF appearance. Chris Fournier made a PH appearance, and Bradley Hubbert took over for Carrera in CF (he was drafted as a catcher).

None of that worked, however, the Mets managed just 6 hits and 2 runs, and lost for the 33rd time in their first 41 games. Wabick (0 for 4, RBI, .278), Carrera (0 for 1, BB, .244), Hubbert (0 for 1, K), Jacobs (0 for 4, K, .235), Tejada (0 for 3, .219), and Petersen (0 for 3, .220) took 0-fers.

Luis Rivera 1 for 4, .261
Josh Thole 1 for 3, run, K, .241
Chris Fournier 1 for 1
Lucas Duda 1 for 3, 2b, .292
Leivi Ventura 2 for 3, run, 2b, .278
Tobi Stoner 6 IP, 6 H, ER, 7 Ks, HR, 2.39 era
Casey Hoorelbeke 0.1 IP, 2 H, ER, 5.79 era, BS (2)
Edgar Alfonzo 1.1 IP, BB, 2 Ks, 6.43 era
Ryan Coultas 1.1 IP, 3 H, ER, 2 Ks, 3.75 era, L (0-3)

Savannah 4, Greenville 5

Michael Antonini had a good start tonight, going 6+, allowing 8 hits and 3 runs (2 earned), but Brant Rustich allowed 2 in the 7th, turning a 4-3 lead into a 5-4 deficit, and the Gnats lost by that count.

Richard Pena, for someone who is 20 2/3 years old really has a very good eye at the plate. He drew 3 walks tonight, and has a 12/14 BB/K ratio. His IsoD is 110. The Gnats offense only managed 4 hits, but they also drew 4 walks, and had timely hits in scoring 4 runs. Pena (0 for 1, run, 3 BBs, .237, 2 SB (4)), Casey Craig (0 for 3, run, BB, 2 Ks, .388), Jordan Abruzzo (0 for 4, run, RBI, 2 Ks, .327), Jose Jimenez (0 for 3, RBI, K, .216), Jake Elgsti (0 for 4, K, .235) and Matt Bouchard (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .216, E (15)) took 0-fers. The Gnats are now 18-23.
Greg Veloz (2b) 2 for 4, run, 2b, .237
Francisco Pena (c) 1 for 4, 2 RBI, .281
Michael Parker (lf) 1 for 4, 2b, 2 Ks, .238
Michael Antonini 6 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 Ks, 2.79 era
Brant Rustich 2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, BB, K, 9.82 era, BS (2), L (0-1)
