Talking Chop

Sorry about no recap last night. I have no excuses.

Gwinnett 9, Rochester 1

• J. Schafer 0-5 RBI, 2K
• W. Timmons 2-4 2 2B, 2 BB, K
• B. Canizares 3-4 2B, RBI, BB
• C. Sammons 4-5 3 2B, 3 RBI, K

I still think there is something wrong with Jordan Schafer that he won't own up to. But we won't know until he...owns up to it. Lots of other offensive heroes in this game though. Canizares is back up to .332 for the season and is rolling with a .914 OPS. Vladimir Nunez started this game and was followed by a motley crew of relievers to hold a solid Rochester offense to 4 hits and 5 BB.

West Tennessee 0, Mississippi 2

• W. Cabrera 2-3 HR(3)
• J. Venters 6IP 6H 0R 2BB, 4K

So Mississippi only managed 3 hits and 2 walks for the entire game and still managed to win the game with some solid pitching from Jonny Venters and three 1 hit innings from the bullpen. Cory Gearrin got his first save in a Mississippi uniform.

Myrtle Beach @ Winston Salem - Postponed

Augusta 5, Rome 0

• L. Sumoza 1-4 2B, 2K
• J. Thompson 6.2IP 7H 5R 3BB 4K

Not much offense from a team that can be a little weak with the bats from time to time. Jacob Thompson has had a pretty rough season thus far. He has only had three games where he has given up less than 3 runs and he has allowed 74 hits in his 64 innings. His strong ground ball ratio is encouraging and some of this could be due to his weak defense but Zeke Spruill has only had problems in  a couple games. Spruill has better stuff from what I have heard though.
