September 14, 2034: Minor League Playoff Update
Durham: They opened their first round series at home against Louisville and it was classic playoff baseball as the game went scoreless into the 10th inning. That's when the Bulls got a walk-off homer from their "ringer", Vlad Guerrero Jr. on his rehab assignment. Mike Fields, acquired eons ago for prospect Stan Collier, has become the ace of the Bulls this year and went 6 1/3 scoreless with 9 whiffs. Prospect Jose Espinoza, whom we acquired from Seattle before the deadline, went 1 2/3 and Greg Baldwin, acquired last year when we dumped Alec Sachais (who's pitched great when healthy for the Padres this season), went the final 2 innings for the win.
Montgomery: Having beaten Jacksonville in Round 1, they will now look to beat Jackson in the finals. And they got off to a great start with a thrilling 4-3 win over the Generals which saw Marco Abrego throw out a runner out at the plate to end the game. Ricky Loya, as a pure a hitter as we have in the system, drove in a pair including a 7th-inning RBI single to break a 3-3 tie. Jose Varela, the lefty starter who was our #1 pick last year, went a solid 6 6 3 2 0 6.
