TEXAS LEAGUE
Jordan Walden and Kasey Kiker locked horns in a nice pitching duel and, while both of them pitched well, neither came away with a decision. Collin DeLome hit his fifth HR of the season, Brett Wallace smacked a couple of hits and scored twice, and Oakland’s slugging 1B Chris Carter smacked two more RBI, while 2B Corey Wimberly nabbed four hits and scored two runs. Today’s winner, however, is yesterday’s winner Springfield catcher Steven Hill. The Cardinals backstop followed up yesterday’s virtuoso performance with a five hit barrage that included his fourth HR, three doubles and three runs scored.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE AND EASTERN LEAGUE
The Eastern League was ravished by rainouts once again so I will include data from their league with the performances from the Southern League. Top of the order speedsters Gerardo Parra and Gorkys Hernandez had big days at the plate and Tyler Flowers and Greg Halman each belted HR’s. Brett Omogrosso threw five shutout innings, striking out six, but he was outdone by Jacksonville’s lanky righthander Sean West who won his second game of the season allowing just one run in 5.1 innings while punching out eight. Congrats Sean, you are the Southern League Player of the Day!

Hits were at a premium in the Eastern region of the AA ranks. Tigers 2B prospect Scott Sizemore didn’t have any problems though, as he racked up four hits and scored two runs. Troy Patton won his second outing by tossing six shutout innings and Brad Lincoln continued his nice comeback surrendering an unearned run over five innings. That sole tally proved to be too much though as he was outdueled by the Eastern League Player of the Day Alfredo Figaro. The slender Tigers right-hander tossed a no-hitter through seven innings to extend his scoreless streak to 12.2 IP.
