Memphis vs. Colorado Springs: Dakota Hudson
Palm Beach vs. Ft. Myers (2)
Peoria vs. Quad Cities: Ian Oxnevad
State College vs. Williamsport: Jonathon MulfordPalm Beach’s postseason is one of the reasons why I love baseball. Unexpected players step up and come through.
In this case it’s Thomas Spitz. He accounted for all three runs in game one and in game two he gets plunked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th for the walk-off win. I love it!
Congrats to the Palm Beach Cardinals on their co-championship. (And I’m also really happy the Yankees’ farm club lost their side of the co-championship after winning game one.)
uc… Peoria also won the first game of their play-off series with Quad Cities in the home half of the ninth when Evan Mendoza walked it off when he cued a single off the 2nd baseman’s glove. Mendoza had a great stint with State College (.370 20xBH OBP=.431.) before moving up to the Chiefs. He started out slow but picked it up quickly and has hit .472 in his last 8gms. The 6′-1″ 3rd baseman was picked this year in round 11, he should be making our top-50 list somewhere in the late 30’s early 40’s.
I saw Peoria won in a walk-off as well. I think it was Mendoza that Goold mentioned in one of his more recent chats as impressing him in Spring Training.
And Memphis keeps rolling along despite having the better part of their team in St Louis.
UC, can you imagine that their opening day rotation when Weaver was hurt in game 1, was Lyons-Ellis-Mayers-Zeid-Poncedeleon. At the time, I thought that to be a pretty solid bunch. NOW they go with the likes of Hudson-Helsley-Gallen-Pearce and Herget. Talk about turnover.
Mendoza looks to be quite the 11th round pick, made this June and signed for $150K.
The St. Louis Cardinals minor league system went 3-1 on Wednesday, with Palm Beach crowned co-Florida State League champions. Player of the Day Aledmys Diaz homered twice as both Memphis and Peoria won their playoff openers.
