Farmers Only Memorial Day Weekend Harvest: Isabel and O’Grady Dinger Dingers

Brandon Larson Honorary Star Of The Weekend

Me - For actually reading the box scores and writing all of this during a 8-4 Reds loss. It was not particularly fun.

Friday

Louisville Bats 6, Toledo Mud Hens 12

Rob “Poopin” Wooten gave up seven earned runs while only getting one out so this was bad from the beginning. Cody Reed, Jimmy “Eat World” Herget, and Jesus Reyes all pitched a scoreless inning of relief near the end but it didn’t matter. Herget struck out two and Reyes one. Nick “Bong Rip” Longhi hit his 7th dinger of the year with 4 total RBI on a 2 for 2 with two walks night. Rob “Umpsnyder” Refsnyder went 2 for 3 with two walks and two runs scored.

Chattanooga Lookouts 7, Birmingham Barons 11

Jordan “Brat” Johnson gave up 5 earned (8 total) in 4.1 innings. Bad. Ty “Lancing” Boyles struck out three over 1.1 innings. Jesse “Bathroom” Stallings pitched a scoreless inning.

Christian Colon went 5 for 5 with a dinger, double, and three RBI. Nick Longhi went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI.

Chattanooga Lookouts 8, Birmingham Barons 4

Tony Santillan was stable. Tony Santillan was good. Santillan gave up three runs (two earned) over six innings on eight hits, one walk, and six strikeouts.
