[DOWN ON THE FARM]
Desmond Jennings Lost For Season
Norfolk 8, Durham 2. Jeff Niemann dropped to 6-3 despite striking out 7 in 6 innings. He allowed 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits and 3 walks...Fernando Perez finished 2-3 with a walk and stole his 27th base...Joel Guzman was 0-4 with a strikeout.

Montgomery 4, West Tenn 3. The Biscuits scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 9th on a wild pitch...Jeremy Hellickson was strong but did not factor in the decision. He allowed only 1 run in 6 innings on 5 hits. He struck out 5 and walked 1. The 1 run scored on a 4th inning solo home run.

Vero Beach 5, Fort Myers 2. In just his 3rd start, Chuck Tiffany picked up his first win, going 5 innings and allowing 2 runs. He did walk 4 with only 1 strikeout...Cesar Suarez finished 2-4 and stole his 14th base.

Columbus 7, Kannapolis 5. Reid Fronk's first hit of the night, was his 9th home run of the season and ended the game in walk-off fashion with 1 on and 1 out in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th...Jesse Darcy gave up 4 runs in 5.2 innings. He struck out 5 and walked none...Quinn Stewart was 3-4 with a double and he drove in 2. He is hitting .307.

Hudson Valley 5, Tri-City 2.

Princeton (off-day)

NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM
...
  • David Price was named the Southern League's pitcher-of-the-week. [Biscuits' Batter]
  • Desmond Jennings will have shoulder surgery and will be out for the rest of the year. Jennings has played only 24 games this season and in three years as a pro has yet to play 100 games in a season. [Rays Report]

Have to comment on Neimann's performance last night. It was a real meltdown that the box score doesn't quite reflect. First he walked a guy. Then got an easy comebacker he promptly threw into the dirt in front of the second baseman. Men on first and second. Then he walks another guy (bases loaded). Grounder to 2nd, one out. Run scores. Men on 1st and 3rd. Man on 1st steals second (off Niemann, catcher didn't have a chance). Niemann issues 3rd walk (bases full again). Sac fly, 2 runs score. So, basically 3 walks, throwing error, and stolen base in one inning. This after a really terrific game on the 2nd of July. Doesn't look like he's ready for prime time.
