ROAD TRIP: MODESTO

Posted on May 5, 2014 by | Comments Off on ROAD TRIP: MODESTO

IMG_4662This past Saturday night was my first trip of the season up to Modesto with the Nuts taking on the first-place Bakersfield Blaze. The home team had dropped the opener, 8-4, and had Matt Flemer going against Bakersfield’s Wandy Peralta to try to even the series.

Modesto is second in the Cal League in average attendance, behind only Lake Elsinore, and the fans came out for this one 3,923 strong. There was a cold wind as the sun went down but John Thurman Field was mostly full for this matchup of clubs at the opposite ends of the North division standings. Continue reading →

2012 top overall pick Carlos Correa was in the Lancaster Jethawks’ starting lineup tonight after missing seven games with a shoulder injury. Correa DH’d and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Lancaster’s 6-3 victory over San Jose at The Hangar.

Drafted out of Puerto Rico in 2012 at the age of 17, Correa has had four minor league stops, with last season at Quad Cities being his first full pro season. There the lanky, athletic shortstop showed his advanced skills at his young age with a line of .320/.405/.467.

In Correa’s absence, Carlos Perdomo has played SS for the Jethawks and he has had a good run with a .375 batting average and a homerun that came off of a Rancho Cucamonga Quake named Kershaw.

With the win, the Jethawks improved to 17-12 and pulled to within a half-game of first-place Lake Elsinore, pending the outcome of the Storm’s game with Inland Empire.
