This week had a tough start for the Surprise Saguaros in the AFL. In back-to-back games their pitching allowed a combined 31 runs in a pair of losses. On Wednesday, things went more how the Saguaros would like to see them go as they took out some frustrations on the Mesa Solar Sox, 13-2.
Aidan Miller went 3-for-6 with a double, a run scored, a stolen base, and three RBI in the game. Nori, who has started slowly but is showing signs of coming around, was 2-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored, and two runs driven in. Surprise pounded 14 hits, including three doubles, a triple, and a home run. Nori’s average is now at .154, up from his low of .091 two weeks ago. Miller is now hitting .333 in the AFL season.
None of the Phillies pitchers on the team pitched in Wednesday’s game. Estibenzon Jimenez (5 ER, 1.0 IP) struggled on Monday and Ryan Dromboski allowed four runs in three innings on Tuesday. Andrew Walling was the one success story over the two previous games when he threw a scoreless inning Tuesday.
Luke Davis went 1-for-3 for Scottsdale in the Scorpions 4-0 loss to the Salt River Rafters on Wednesday.
Venezuelan Winter League
Rafael Marchan has gone 0-for-8 in his last two games with La Guaria, dropping his average to .219 (7-for-32) in nine games. La Guaria lost to Caracas 9-2 on Wednesday.
In his last two games for Aguilas, Juan Villavicencio is 3-for-8 with a double and two singles. The downside is that all five of the outs he has made during that stretch have been strikeouts. Giussepe Velasquez pitched four innings, allowing one earned run on six hits and two walks for Zulia. The right-hander is now 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in four games (two starts) with a 0.86 WHIP and opposing hitters are averaging just .167 against him.
Mexican Pacific League
Orlando Gonzalez pitched pitched a scoreless inning, needing just eight pitches, five of which were strikes, for the Naranjeros on Wednesday in a 5-3 loss.
Dominican Winter League
Outfielder Steward Berroa went 3-for-4 for Aguilas Cibaenas on Wednesday. Berroa is now hitting .211 (4-for-19) in six games with three runs scored and three RBI.
