Yeah, so not much baseball to report on. I am hitting four games in CT this weekend, Binghamton at New Britain doubleheader today and Monday, and Brooklyn at the CT Tigers Sunday. If you are at any of the games, feel free to hit me up to chat prospects or whatever. I'm usually somewhere behind home plate taking copious notes. I'll have a report on Familia, Den Dekker, Taijeron, and some others up early next week.
AAA - Buffalo Bisons (29-43)_______________________________________
In what would become the theme of the evening, Buffalo and Scranton Wilkes Barre had their game postponed due to rain.
AA - Binghamton Mets (31-55)_____________________________________
The B-Mets and Rock Cats were rained out and will play a doubleheader today. Which means I get to go to an extra game for free!
Hi-A St. Lucie Mets (8-5 // 46-37)________________________________________
"Oh and it never rains around here, it just comes pouring down."
Make-up game is part of a doubleheader tomorrow. I don't get to go to that one.
INJURY REPORT: SS/2B Robbie Shields has missed the last few games with back stiffness, and RHP Nick Carr is back on the 7-day DL.
Actual baseball after the jump...
Lo-A Savannah Sand Gnats (13-3 // 52-33)__________________________________
SAVANNAH 11, GREENSBORO 4 (Box)
The Sand Gnats nipped their little two game losing streak in the bud as the bats took care of business against the Grasshoppers. C Albert Cordero had a night for the ages, falling just a home run short of the cycle amongst his five hits. 3B Aderlin Rodriguez drove in four and didn't make an error, the latter being more noteworthy at this point. All in all, Savannah pounded out 18 hits in support of LHP Angel Cuan. Cuan was roughed up in the third inning to the tune of four runs, which put Greensboro ahead 4-3, but the bats took over from there, Cuan settled down to finish 6 innings and record his seventh win of the year. Savannah improved to a league best 13-3 in the 2nd half, as they continue to run roughshod over the South Atlantic League.

- 3B Aderlin Rodriguez: 3-4, 4 RBI, R, BB

Short Season A- Brooklyn Cyclones (11-10)_______________________________________
"Now there's three things you can do in a baseball game: You can win, you can lose, or it can rain."
It was a very wet day on the Eastern seaboard. No make-up date announced for Brooklyn and Vermont. Anyone with a ticket to this game can exchange it for any other Cyclones home game.

- OF Gregory Pron: 2-4, 2B
- RHP Jacob Lugo: W, 5 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 5 BB, 3 K; DIPS theory FTW.

- C Jeyckol De Leon: 0-2
- RF Gilbert Gomez: 2-3, 2B, 2 RBI, R, BB, K
- 1B Ryan Hutson: 0-3, R, BB, K
★ Star of the Night ★
On night's like these, when there's only a few teams playing, sometimes it is difficult to find a star that was particularly bright. Sometimes you just have to find a guy who went 2-4 with a couple of RBIs or something. Last night that was not an issue. Savannah C Albert Cordero would have been the star on pretty much any night this year.
