The biggest news was the debut of last year’s first round pick, Cameron Maybin for West Michigan. Maybin was 2 for 4 with a triple. Defensively he picked up an assist on an 8-4 double play and made a diving catch. Unfortunately the Whitecaps lost 5-3.
Mudhens lose 1-0
The offense was shutdown, but there was good news and it’s name was Wilfredo. Ledezma only allowed 3 hits and 1 run while striking out nine in 4 2/3 innings.
Erie loses 2-1
The bats were quiet, but the Seawolves received a strong outing from Nate Bumstead: 5 2/3 IP, 0 BB, 6 K, 2H. Eulogio De La Cruz took the loss in the 10th inning.
Lakeland loses 6-1
And yet again, no offense. The Lakeland Tigers only managed 4 hits while committing 4 errors. Fortunately, the good news came from 5 innings with no earned runs from starter Dallas Trahern (5 K’s)
It’s going to be a lot of fun following Mabin all season. I bet he’ll be in Lakeland by mid-season and then start at Erie next year.
Lets hope you are right Scott.
If Maybin gets pushed to Lakeland this season it will mean he was absolutely great in the first half.
He has never seen quality off speed stuff so its going to be interesting if he hits well over the first half.
