The Doubledays in each of the first five innings as they neutered the Muckdogs, 9-1 to end an eight-game losing streak. Yonathan Ramirez threw five scoreless innings with one hit and two walks allowed for his second win for Auburn. Jared Brasher was somehow awarded as he came in with a five-run lead and only one runner on base and got the last seven outs. Omar Meregildo was a triple shy of the cycle as he went 3-for-4, scored twice, and drove in two to lead the Auburn attack. Roster moves: RHP Jeremy McKinney reassigned from the GCL, OF Nick Choruby (18th Rd., Texas A&M) assigned from Washington.

9 Commments

  1. I guess Peric will be crying, JD Martin got released. Where are you Seth Bynum and Jorge Padilla?

  2. The trimming continues. Austen Williams next ?
    Many of these college outfielders added seem like org. Guys .

    1. JD Martin could not master the knuckled or vice versa??
      The kid from Baylor known for have bat will travel ??

      1. The subject discussed about prospects mastering a level
        Leads me to another question :
        mills to Potomac or other guys buy time at one level up as a guy like mills totally masters low A ball???

        1. I am sure brass wishes they have some future pitchers who advance in mastery like Fedde did as in the likes of Crowe , Mills, Braymer, Troop,etc.

          1. Maybe this draft class plus several of the Latin signees turns the tide in slow maturity through the farm .

        2. Mills is certainly deserving, but Sterling Sharp has also been very good. I wouldn’t mind if Sharp got promoted before Mills. But that just brings up back to yesterday’s conversation about the bottleneck of talent in Hagerstown, and the dearth in Potomac and higher.
