TRADE DEADLINE MOVES

Posted on July 31, 2015 by | Comments Off on TRADE DEADLINE MOVES

The MLB trade deadline has seen a number of California League players packaged in deals. Here’s a rundown of who has been sent where:

  • San Jose’s Keury Mella went to the Cincinnati Reds in the deal that saw the San Francisco Giants acquire Mike Leake. Mella was SF’s top organizational prospect.
  • The Houston Astros acquired Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers from the Brewers in exchange for a package that included Brett Phillips and Adrian Houser, who were recently promoted from Lancaster to AA. The other two players going to Milwaukee are all Lancaster alums: Domingo Santana (’12) and Josh Hader (’14)
  • The Dodgers were involved in a huge, three-team trade with the Marlins and Braves and Rancho Cucamonga’s Zack Bird, Jeff Brigham and Victor Araujo went to Miami.
  • The Astros kicked off the big moves by acquiring Scott Kazmir from the A’s for Lancaster’s Jacob Nottingham and Daniel Mengden, who both landed with Stockton.

RANCHO’S TRINKWON IS MVP OF 9-2 ALL-STAR GAME WIN

Posted on June 24, 2015 by | Comments Off on RANCHO’S TRINKWON IS MVP OF 9-2 ALL-STAR GAME WIN

asg logoA sold-0ut crowd at LoanMart field in Rancho Cucamonga saw Quakes 2B Brandon Trinkwon earn MVP honors in the California – Carolina League All-Star Game Tuesday night. Trinkwon went 2-for-3 with 2 RBI and 3 runs scored as the Cal League won by a score of 9-2. 10 Cal League pitchers gave up just two runs with Visalia’s John Omahen earning the win with a perfect inning in the third.

The teams traded runs in the first two innings, but the Cal League kicked it into gear with two runs in the 3rd, three in the 4th and three more in the 6th to make it comfortable.

Just about everybody contributed to the Cal League’s 13-hit attack. Trinkwon’s Rancho Cucamonga teammate Cody Bellinger had a double and two RBI. The Modesto Nuts contributed four hits from Raimel Tapia (1-for-2, run scored), Jordan Patterson (1-for-4, run scored) and Ryon McMahon (2-for-4, 2b, 2 runs scored).

Trinkwon, normally a top-of-the-order hitter in the Quakes’ lineup, did his damage out of the #9 hole. Lancaster’s Brett Phillips led off and San Jose’s Hunter Cole batted second before the big bats in the Cal League lineup. Trinkwon was inserted at the end of the batting order and it paid dividends for RC manager Bill Hasleman.

The All-Star break continues today before a full slate of games on Thursday.

JETHAWKS TAKE 2014 CHAMPIONSHIP

Posted on September 16, 2014 by | Comments Off on JETHAWKS TAKE 2014 CHAMPIONSHIP

lancasterjethawksnewThe Lancaster Jethawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead early and pulled away with a five-run sixth inning to clinch the California League championship Monday night with a 10-2 victory over Visalia at The Hangar. Leadoff man Brett Phillips went 3-for-4 and scored three runs while driving in two to be the catalyst for the Jethawk attack.

If was a 4-2 game after four innings. Visalia’s starter, Blake Perry, had been lifted after 3 2/3 innings and Lancaster’s starter, Kyle Westwood, came out after allowing the first two Rawhide hitters to single in the top of the fifth. From there, Tyler Brunnemann and Daniel Minor went five scoreless innings out of the Jethawks bullpen.

Alex Glenn and Socrates Brito each went 2-for-5 for Visalia while Rudy Flores and Ryan Gebhardt each added a pair of hits.

Minor took to the hill in the bottom of the ninth with a 10-2 lead and allowed a one-out single to George Roberts. He then induced a lineout to center from Glenn before striking out Brito swinging to end the game and the season, clinching Lancaster’s second league championship in three years. 1,861 fans were in attendance.
