Before we get to the goods, one of our readers was at Monday’s Hall of Fame game (you know, the one between the Padres and Cubs that got rained out) and took some photos, as well as a video of Trevor Hoffman playing catch with one of his sons. Pretty cool…

Triple-A — Portland 4, Tucson 3

Matt Antonelli: 2-for-4, BB, SB
Peter Ciofrone (3B): 1-for-5
Chip Ambres (RF): 1-for-5
Brian Myrow: 1-for-4, BB
Will Venable (CF): 3-for-4, 2B
Nick Hundley: 1-for-5
Vince Sinisi (LF): 0-for-4
Luis Rodriguez: 1-for-2, 2B, BB, 2 E
Josh Geer: 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 0 HR, 4 BB, 2 SO
Enrique Gonzalez: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 2 SO

Antonelli extends his hitting streak to six games. He’s 10-for-24 during that stretch. It may not be much, but it’s a start…

Double-A — Corpus Christi 7, San Antonio 2

Drew Macias: 2-for-4
Chad Huffman: 0-for-3, BB
Kyle Blanks: 2-for-4, E
Seth Johnston: 1-for-3, HBP
Colt Morton: 0-for-4
Craig Cooper: 0-for-2, E
Will Inman: 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 5 SO, WP
Paul Abraham: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 4 SO
Mike Ekstrom: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO

Rare bad outing for Inman…

High-A — Rancho Cucamonga 9, Lake Elsinore 6

Eric Sogard: 0-for-4, BB
Keoni Ruth: 1-for-4, HR, BB
Cedric Hunter: 0-for-4
Mitch Canham: 1-for-3, 2B, SF
Rayner Contreras: 3-for-4, SB
Kellen Kulbacki: 2-for-4, 2B
Javis Diaz: 0-for-4
Corey Kluber: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 0 HR, 4 BB, 5 SO

Sogard moved up to the leadoff spot, with Hunter dropping to the #3 hole. Interesting… The Storm led 6-4 headed to the bottom of the eighth before entering Full Bullpen Implosion mode… Kulbacki is hitting .317/.432/.667 in June (74 PA).

Low-A

No games scheduled in the Midwest League.

Short-Season-A — Eugene 9, Boise 4

Jeudy Valdez (SS): 1-for-5, HBP
Sawyer Carroll (RF): 3-for-6
Logan Forsythe (3B): 1-for-4, 2B, HBP
Logan Gelbrich: 0-for-3, 2 BB
Pablo Menchaca: 4.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 2 SO, E
Anthony Bass: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO
Robert Musgrave: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 0 BB, 4 SO

As I mentioned in the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual, Valdez was born on my 20th birthday… Two pro games for Carroll, three hits in both… Gelbrich was taken with the 1065th pick overall in the 2008 draft, but he’s a USD guy so I’ll be pulling for him… Bass was taken at #165, Musgrave at #435…

I’m trekking up to Oregon at the end of this month, and I’ll get to catch an Emeralds game as well as a Beavers game. Here’s hoping first-round pick Allan Dykstra is in uniform and playing games by then.
