Around the System - another two-fer

Triple-A: Scranton 5, Lehigh Valley 4; Lehigh Valley 6, Scranton 2
Eduardo Nunez went nuts on Sunday, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs. Kevin Russo also had a good day, going 2-for-4 with a triple and two runs scored. With a scoreless inning of work, Kevin Whelan picked up the win and lowered his ERA to 13.50. Zach McAllister took his first Triple-A loss on Saturday, allowing six runs on 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings. Chad Huffman connected on his second longball with Scranton.

Double-A: Portland 9, Trenton 5; Portland 5, Trenton 2
If you read the blog at all, then you know the story on these games. Bad pitching from Ryan Pope and Noel Castillo led to two big losses at home to the Sea Dogs. Brandon Laird hit his second home run of the season on Saturday, the combination of Marcos Vechionacci, Dan Brewer and Luis Nunez went 5-for-13 with a triple and an RBI.

High-A: Tampa 5, Lakeland 3; Lakeland 13, Tampa 7
Adam Warren turned in another fine performance yesterday, and the T-Yanks got some revenge for the beating the Flying Tigers put on Hector Noesi the night before. Warren, a 2009 draftee from the University of North Carolina, scattered nine hits over 6 1/3 one-run frames. He lowered his ERA to 1.16 in the process. On Sunday, Melky Mesa, Myron Leslie, Mitch Abeita and Jack Rye each had two hits. On Saturday, Corban Joseph went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a home run.

Low-A: Charleston 3, Rome 2; Charleston 4, Rome 3, 11 innings
Starting pitching stole the show in these two contests, especially Graham Stoneburner on Saturday. Stoneburner, a Clemson alum, retired 20 straight at one point during eight innings of three-hit baseball with eight strikeouts. Sean Black followed Stoneburner on Sunday and turned in 7 1/3 innings of two-run work. He allowed just five hits and struck out four.
