Josh Jung hits his first Sally League home run

The Hickory Crawdads had Ronny Henriquez on the mound today, and the 19 year old righthander had some problems, getting knocked out in the second inning. He allowed 6 runs on 7 hits and a walk in 1.1 IP, striking out 2. Jesus Linarez had a very nice outing in relief of him, throwing 4.1 IP, allowing 2 hits and 3 walks, striking out 4 and lowering his ERA to 1.99.

Josh Jung had a big game for the Crawdads — the Rangers first rounder had a single, a home runs and a pair of HBPs. Tyreque Reed had a home run, Jonathan Ornelas had a pair of walks, and Miguel Aparicio had a single and a double.

Joe Palumbo got the start for Nashville this evening. He went 5 IP, allowed one run on 3 hits (1 a homer) while walking 1 and striking out 7. Wei-Chieh Huang went 2 IP, striking out 3. Eli White had to leave the game after three after fouling a ball off his knee. Nick Solak had a single and a homer.

Tim Brennan allowed one run for Down East in 5 IP, giving up 2 hits (1 a home run) along with 1 walk and 4 Ks. Down East had 3 hits (and no runs) — the hits were singles by J.P. Martinez (who also had a steal), Curtis Terry and Sherten Apostel. Bubba Thompson had 2 walks and a stolen base.

Jonathan Hernandez started for Frisco but only worked 2 innings, continuing to give us reason to believe he’s being viewed as a reliever right now. He allowed 0 runs, 0 hits, 1 walk and 1 K. Demarcus Evans pitched for the third time in four nights and allowed a hit, an intentional walk, an unintentional walk, and struck out 3.

Destin Dotson threw 6 innings for the AZL Rangers, allowing 1 run on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 2 Ks. He has a 1.47 ERA.
