Tijuana  Bottle Rockets @ Southbend  Lynx

Series Preview: Tijuana travels into Southbend for a 6 game series.
Game #1: TIJ H.Ynoa vs SBL T.Houck

SBL open the scoring in the B1 when Fraley 2bs, K.Tucker hits a 2-run HR, and Muncy follows with a solo-HR. TIJ Ynoa settles in after that and doesn’t give up any more runs before being relieved after 5IP.

SBL T.Houck goes 5 innings giving up 3 hits, no runs, no walks, and fanning 7 before turning it over to the bullpen. SBL uses 5 relievers to close out the shutout.

TIJ C.Mullins goes 4-4 for their lone bright spot in the game.

SBL WP-T.Houck / TIJ LP-H.Ynoa

Southbend 8, Tijuana 0

Game #2: TIJ L.Gil vs SBL F.Peralta

The anticipated pitcher’s duel between the two team aces did not happen.

TIJ started the barrage in the T2 when Happ 2bs, Sanchez bbs, Vogelbach bbs, Kiner-Falefa hits into a rbi-FC, Hampson with an inf-1b (Sanchez held up at 3rd), Vanmeter then ris a 2-run 2b, Senzel follows with a rbi-1b and it’s 4-0 TIJ!.

But they’re not done as Hayes hits a SF, Mullins bbs, Happ bbs, and Sanchez knocks Peralta out of the game with a 2-run 1b.

TIJ Gil makes it to the B3 before the SBL strikes back when Canha bbs, Wynns FC, Fraley FC, Bichette 1bs, and K.Tucker hits a 3-run HR.

In the SBL B5 Canha 2bs, Fraley bbs, Bichette rbi-1b, K.Tucker bbs, and then Muncy hits a Grandslam to give the Lynx a 8-7 lead knocking TIJ Gil out of the game.

SBL stretches it lead in the B6 when Canha 1bs, Wynns bbs, and Bichette hits a 3-run HR.

TIJ gets two back in the T7 when Mullins bbs, Happ bbs, Franco groundout, and a Vogelbach 2-run 1b.

But that would be all the scoring as SBL goes to Jackson in the T8 and Steckenrider in the T9 to close out the game.

TIJ keeps it going in the T6 when Garcia hits a solo-HR and then 2 outs later Lamb hits a solo-HR to tie the game at 3-3!

But the TIJ lead is short lived as SBL come back in the B6 as Alford 1bs, moves up on a Wynns groundout, and then scores on a Canha rbi-2b, followed by an Altuve rbi-1b.

TIJ adds a run in the T4 with a Happ solo-HR.

In the SBL B5 Canha reaches 1st on a Sanchez error, Bichette hits a 2-run HR to tie the game at 3-3. SBL then gets solo-HRs from K.Tucker, Meadows, and Escobar to move out to a 6-3 lead!

TIJ shows some life in the T7 when Happ 2bs, Kiner-Falefa 1bs to CF and Cave’s wild throw lets Happ score, and then Vogelbach ties the game with a 2-run HR!

The game goes to extra innings where in the B11 Canha 1bs, steals 2nd, and after Bichette P5, K.Tucker is IW, but Altuve comes through with a game winning rbi-1b.

SBL Bichette hits a solo-HR in the B1 and that’s as close as it would get for the Lynx.

TIJ has had enough after the first 5 games and proceeds to put a major whooping on the Lynx.

TIJ adds 6 more runs in the T3 with the big hit being a Happ 3-run HR. But TIJ just keeps pouring it on with 3 in the 5th, 5 in the 6th, and 3 more in the 8th.

TIJ ends up with 20 runs on 19 hits; Hayes goes 4-6 with 4 runs, HR and 3 RBI; Happ is 4-5 with 3 runs, 6 RBI, a 2b and a HR.

Coconut Creek  Crushers @ Yonge Street  Stalkers

Series Preview: The Crushers take off to the great white north, eh?
Game #1: A nice pitchers duel. Blake Snell and Michel Pineda were strong. Lou? (Not Lee) Trivino blinked first in relief of Snell. Mike Zunino did the damage with a 2 run shot in the 8th. YSS 4 – CCC 1
Game #2: Tucker Davidson made a spot start and was shown the door quickly by the visiting Crushers. 3 runs in the first and single runs in the 3rd and 4th were plenty for CCC. The Crushers were led by Tyler O’Neill. He homered, doubled and plated 3. CCC 5 – YSS 2
Game #3: Gerrit Cole is the anti losing streak. I don’t have any facts to back that up. Sue me. He gave up 2 hits, (solo shot to Walsh), 2 walks, and struck out 8. Nick Madrigal came up with a clutch hit in the 8th. Emmanuel Clase slammed the door for his 21st save. YSS 3 – CCC 1
Game #4: After an off day, Chris Flexen spun a gem. He improved to 11-2 (2.08 ERA). Tyler O’Neill homered and plated 3 more. CCC 5 – YSS 2
Game #5: YSS had 5 hits, but they were timely. Darren Ruf’s 2 run HR was the big one. Brady Singer pitched well enough to pick up win number 4. YSS 4 – CCC 3
Game #6: An Adam Frazier 3 run shot put this one out of reach in the 6th. Ha Seong Kim and Austin Nola drove in 2 runs each for the winners. YSS 7 – CCC 2
Series Summary: The Stalkers showed a little spine versus the strong CCC staff and took 4 of 6. CCC continues their trip to SWD, while YSS heads to DAL.
