6/24 Minor League Report! EVANS, TEJADA, Antonini, Cleto!

New Orleans 4, Omaha 5

Willie Collazo's defense betrayed him today, he gave up 7 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings, but only one was earned, as the useless piece of shit known as Abraham Nunez committed 2 errors which led to 3 UER off Collazo. The offense tried to come back a few times, but fell short by a run.

Argenis Reyes, Val Pascucci, Raul Gonzalez, Gustavo Molina and Anderson Hernandez all took 0-fers. The Zs had just 5 hits, but drew 8 walks.

The game wasn't as close as the score indicates, this was a 6-0 game heading to the bottom of the 9th, the Mets put up 4, but Mike Nickeas grounded out with the tying runs on base to end it. Nick Evans and Caleb Stewart had multi hit games, while Mike Carp, Ambi Concepcion (0 for 3, K, .245), Mike Nickeas (0 for 4, .250) and Jon Malo (0 for 3, .227) took 0-fers.

St. Lucie 3, Sarasota 2

Ruben Tejada capped off his big day with a walkoff single in the bottom of the 9th, scoring Ezequiel Carrera (who'd doubled), and giving the Mets a 3-2 victory. Tejada had 3 hits, and is now batting .387/.439/.493/.932 in his last 75 ABs (6/2-6/24; 29 for 75, 12 runs, 3 2b, 3b, HR, 9 RBI, 7/4 BB/K, SB). Not bad for an 18 year old in the FSL after playing in the VSL/GCL last season. The top 3 in the order (Carrera, Tejada and Duda) were a combined 7 for 12 with 2 runs, 2 2b, 2 RBI. Josh Thole and Jordan Abruzzo continued the catching tandem of death routine they've been perfecting the last few days, going 4 for 8 with a run. Victor Mendez (0 for 4, .296), DJ Wabick (0 for 4, .275), and Luis Rivera (0 for 4, .233) took 0-fers.

Michael Antonini had another fine outing for St. Lucie, his 3rd in a row. He has yet to fail to go at least 6 innings, and he has yet to give up more then 2 runs in any outing. Tonight was no exception, he went 6.1 innings, allowing 6 hits and 2 runs to raise his ERA to 2.37. However, he is getting the Angel Calero treatment, he took another ND. Emary Frederick got the win in relief with a scoreless 9th.
