CALIFORNIA LEAGUE (High-A)
Stockton Ports 2
Inland Empire 66ers 4
LP: Sheehan 0-3 / 5.21
Prospect Of The Game:
Pitcher Brady Feigl
(6 2/3 IP / 5 H / 2 ER / 0 BB / 5 K)
Stockton suffered its second straight loss to Inland Empire, but RHP Brady Feigl turned in another strong start on Sunday. Last year’s 5th-round draft pick for the A’s allowed 2 runs on just 5 hits while walking none and striking out 5 over 6 2/3 innings of work. And over his last 4 starts, Feigl has issued a total of just 3 walks while posting an ERA of 3.28 for the Ports. He left with the game a 2-2 tie in the 7th inning, but RHP Sam Sheehan gave up the winning run in relief to suffer his 3rd loss for Stockton. Center fielder Austin Beck collected 3 hits and a walk, while designated hitter Jameson Hannah singled in a run and drew a walk, and first baseman Hunter Hargrove picked up a pair of hits for the Ports.
