Autumn Dreamin

Quick turnaround.

There it is

4 hitless, even. Barons pitching gave up just 1 hit between the two games to sweep the DH. Knights also swept their DH. Colson played both and went 3-5 for the day with a walk, 2B, and HR. Kannapolis got an early lead (4-0 through 2) before getting rained out and WS was rained out before taking the field, so it'll be their turn to play two tomorrow.

5 hitless for Iriarte, but they pulled him early due to the long layoff (6K, 1BB). Schoenle finishes it off with 2IP hitless of hit own (3K, 1BB). Barons (literally) walk it off with a bases loaded BB for the 1-0 win and abbreviated no-hitter.

ICYMI, Wolkow is no longer the tallest player on the Kannapolis roster. 22yo RHP Carson Jacobs (2023 UDFA) joined the team just before the break, and he's 6'9" (nice). Threw two hitless/scoreless innings tonight, 4K and 1BB. Batista was effective despite a rare 0 strikeout game. Still a QS (6IP, 2ER, 4H, 1BB). Wolkow finished 2-4 with a double, BB, K, and 4 RBI. Nishida 1-4 with a BB and 2K. Nishida has played 83 games, and this is just his 10th with more than 1K (he has 14 games with multiple walks, and 27 with multiple hits). 20yo CF Alvaro Aguero looks surprisingly comfortable in his first stint on a full season affiliate. 1-4 today, .393/.433/.464 with 4SB through 8 games (28 AB) so far, and he made a really excellent catch + assist for an inning ending DP.

Knights and Barons postponed, they'll both play two tomorrow.
