Wednesday Pebble Report: Colorado Springs' Brandon Hynick throws perfect game

Colorado Springs, W 2-0
All hail Brandon Hynick! He threw a seven-inning perfect game. Twenty one up, twenty oe down. He needed only 88 pitches to twirl the gem, sixty of them for strikes. He struck out six. Mike McCoy and and Jonathan Herrera drove in the runs.

More from the CS Gazette.

Tulsa: The Texas League had the night off.

Modesto, L 1-13
Ethan Hollingsworth made his first start for Modesto with poor results. He allowed six runs in 6 1/3 innings and struck out five. Two of those runs scored when Carlos Luna was on the mound, who allowed seven runs himself in 1 2/3 innings. Maikol Gonzalez walked three times, and Lars Davis and Jay Cox each hit a double.

Asheville, W 4-1
Scott Robinson ripped a three-run double in the seventh inning to break the 1-1 tie. Beau Seabury collected three hits, drove in a run, and stole his second base of the season. Dan Houston allowed that lone Savannah run in the first inning and saw six base hits over his six innings pitched. He also struck out six and walked three. Adam Jorgenson struck out two on his way to his 13th save.

Tri-City, W 6-5 in 10 innings
Down 0-3 in the sixth inning, the Dust Devils scored five runs to take the lead. Kent Matthes hit a two-run homer (1) and Mike Zuanich followed that homer with one of his own (5). Austin Rauch had a two-run single to put his team ahead 5-3. Joe Sanders went 4-for-4 with two doubles and drove in the game-winning RBI in the top of the 10th.

Sheng-An Kuo was charged with three unearned runs as a result of Matt Sanders' two-out error. A double and a single scored the three runs. Charlie Ruiz blew the save in the ninth, but picked up the win. Kyle Walker struck out three and walked one in the bottom of the 10th to record his first save.

Casper, L 9-12
A night of firsts for some in Casper: David DiNatale and Jeff Squier hit their first professional home runs, solo shots each; Squier and Hines each had their first doubles; and Dominic Altobelli stole his first base. Eliezer Mesa went 4-for-6 with three RBI and had an outfield assist on an out at third base.

Jonathan Vargas surrounded six runs on five hits and four walks in four innings. Chad Rose allowed two unearned runs and struck out four. One of those runs scored when Billy Volpinek was on the mound, which resulted in a blown save in the sixth inning. Trevor Gibson gave up the other four runs.

Casper struggles out of the gate to a 1-6 record

Hopefully they’ll regroup and lay the beatdown on Sugar Ray Marimon tonight.

That’s right, the opposing pitcher’s name is Sugar Ray.

So was I and it was something to remember

we all just wished it was going to go 9, so he could have completed it w/ no asterisk whatsoever. He definitely had command of all pitches and EYJ’s play in the 7th was special. It was a fun game to be at, and since it was a $2 Tuesday it was pretty packed. To boot, the game went real fast and allowed me to see most of Marquis’ gem. A great night for baseball.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

So... does anybody want to talk about Mike Zuanich's power surge?

Four HR in three games could just be a fluke thing still, but five in 35 PA’s is easily on pace to break Darin Holcomb and Joe Koshansky’s Tri-City record of 12. He’s pretty close to the same age JoKo was as a Dust-Devil and Zuanich does have a history of power UCSB. If we say this season puts him in Koshansky’s league, that’s AAAA territory, and it’s not inconceivable that there could be even more to him than that (that possibility was there with Koshansky for much of his climb). Right now, he’s definitely showing himself to be an intriguing sleeper to me and probably a legit prospect. I want to see what he does in July, but it’s looking promising.

6 homers now

I just got in tonight and was going thru the box scores and noticed that he got his 6th. I now see that you have this post from yesterday… good timing.

He is a big kid (Height: 6-4 Weight: 225) and we certainly need some power hitters in the system. Nice find in the 28th rd, for sure.

Has anyone had the chance to see him?

0 in ~100 PA’s last season.

That's definitely why I'd temper some enthusiasm,

along with the age/experience thing he’s got going for him. But hitting HR’s isn’t easy in most of the NWL. If he keeps this up at all, I’d like to see him get a bump to Modesto to replace Cunningham, who’s been pretty disappointing this season.

he's at least 1.3 million votes behind

So I think at this point you need someone who can hack the system.
