Recap


            Darin Gorski didn’t give the 51s length Friday night, but he left them in a good position to come back for a win if their bats would wake up. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, as 16 of the final 19 batters were retired (and one runner was erased on a GIDP). Gorski would allow all three hits that Nashville managed in this game, but the Sounds would add another 7 base runners combined between 5 BB’s and 2 HBP’s. Teams should generally win when their pitching staff only allows 2 runs on 3 hits (especially in the PCL), but the 51s could only muster 4 hits themselves, with Matt Reynolds and Alex Castellanos providing a pair of singles each. Logan Verrett was the first to replace Gorski, and he was very good over his three innings of work, allowing only the 2 walks. Brandon Allen made two weird plays in the game, not yielding to Cory Vaughn twice, which caused a minor collision between the two the second time. The first time was on the Nashville sac fly, and it was especially weird to see Allen cut off Vaughn for two reasons: Vaughn has a much better arm, and Vaughn had a much better angle on the catch-and-throw.

Scoring Highlights


            Matt Reynolds and Alex Castellanos each had two hits, and that was it for Las Vegas. They singled in the same inning both times (4th and 6th), but Matt Reynolds got to 3B with one out in the 4th, which led to their only run – he’d reach 3B in the 6th with two outs.
