Daily Farm Round-Up: 5-12-13
Highlighted by Rodney Daal’s perfect night at the plate, the TinCaps put up a crooked number on the board and beat the Dragons 13-7. The Storm have been a mess this year and they continued to struggle as they were shutout 8-0. Matt Wisler made his San Antonio debut and performed well as he collected the victory. Tucson won a close one against the Round Rock Express largely due to a start by Sean O’Sullivan in which he threw 5 innings with 0 earned runs.

Matt Lollis-RP: 1.0 IP, H, 0R
Notes: Really nothing positive about this game; the Storm could only collect 6 hits and couldn’t scratch across a run, the pitching staff allowed 8 earned runs and the defense collected 2 errors. For a club that was hyped to seemingly have a top prospect at every position at the start of the season they have been extremely disappointing. With the loss tonight, their record fell to a dismal 12-24.

Notes: Rodney Daal was an absolute monster tonight; he tripled his home run total and drove in 4 runs all while having a perfect night at the plate. Jeremy Baltz also had a nice night at the plate as he drove in 3 runs; he’s done a nice job driving in runs this year as his RBI total is now at 25 over just 30 games.
