AFL Update: Nov. 3, 2022
A five-run 5th, highlighted by a two-run single by Yasel Antuna, broke open a 2-1 game as the Javelinas sunk the Rafters, 5-1 yesterday in the Arizona Fall League.
Three Nationals saw game action:
- Yasel Antuna (pictured, right) batted sixth and played LF. He also singled in the 4th to finish 2-for-4 and push his Fall BA to .233.
- Brady Lindsly (pictured, below) was the No. 8 batter and caught the game. He was hitless but drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and stole second base after drawing a walk in the 8th.
- Orlando Ribalta (pictured, above) worked around back-to-back singles in the 8th to preserve his 0.00 ERA for the Fall.
The win evened Peoria’s record at 12-12, which is 2½ games off the pace set by Surprise (15-10).
The Javelinas remain home to host the Scorpions (12-12) this afternoon.
Great photos!
Orlando Ribalta was a 12th Round pick in 2019, finishing this year at Wilmington. Remarkable what he has done this year.
Thank you!!~
