12 p.m. - Continuation of Worcester's game from yesterday. Down 1-0, bottom 2nd, 1st & 2nd no out, Stephen Scott up.

They list game 2 at 1:05 p.m. but that seems foolish. Brian Van Belle is scheduled to pitch.

1:35 p.m. - Portland (CJ Liu 4.57 ERA) v. Richmond (Murphy 4.67 ERA)

2:05 p.m. - Greenville (Bradley Blalock 3.24 ERA) v. Bowling Green (TBD)

3:05 p.m. - Lynchburg (TBD) @ Salem (Noah Dean 7.53 ERA)

Story is done for the game. Worcester got a walk from Scott then scored a run on Hernandez's GIDP. Norwith Gudiño is pitching.

Some foolish AAA player tried to test Reese McGuire & got caught stealing.

Apparently Jake Alu thought he was a big deal after going 16 of his 18 on AAA steals this season.

He is now 16 of 19.

Núñez became the 2nd straight WooSox pitcher to pitch less than half their pitches for strikes, but still pitch a scoreless inning. Mosqueda was 10 of 21 & Núñez was 8 of 18.

If we could go ahead & have some pitchers learn to throw some strikes that would be a wonderful thing.

CJ Liu threw a scoreless 1st with a walk, a strikeout, & only 7 of 16 strikes.

Hit Jeter Downs
Mosqueda 10 of 21 strikes
Núñez 12 of 31 strikes

I guess we're Moneyballing out strike throwing. But Garza has pitched 1.2 scoreless.

Bradley Blalock allowed a 2-run homer in the 1st for Greenville, but both runs were unearned as the inning would have been over but for Eddinson Paulino's 13th error of the season. Paulino got a hit in the 2nd inning...& then got caught stealing for the 6th time. At least we don't need to worry about protecting him?

On the bright side, ROMAN had a lead off single.

Ok, I take back the Paulino slander. He hit a 2-run homer to tie it at 2.

Really good relief work by Dylan Spacke to let Portland catch up.

2.1 scoreless & hitless innings, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, ERA down to 2.84. He was the Red Sox 21st round pick in 2019.

Brendan Celluci is in.

Interesting outting from Noah Dean. Threw a ton of pitches over the next 3 innings & was done after 4 innings & 70 pitches. Allowed only 1 hit (a solo homer), 2 walks, 7 strikeouts. Hopefully he's turning a bit of a corner.

Nathanael Cruz in. Salem down 1-0 t5.
