TEXAS LEAGUE (DOUBLE-A)
Texas League Championship Series – Game #1
Midland RockHounds 6
Springfield Cardinals 3
WP: Adamiak
SV: Johnston
HR: De Vries 2
Top prospect Leo De Vries had another big day at the plate to help the RockHounds record the win in Game #1 of the Texas League Championship Series on Sunday. The 18-year-old Dominican shortstop slugged a solo shot in the 1st inning to give his team an early lead and then, with the RockHounds down by a single run in the 7th, he hammered a two-run homer to provide the margin of victory for Midland. De Vries also drew a walk and scored 3 runs in the game. Third baseman Joshua Kuroda-Grauer went 3 for 5 with a double and scored twice, while first baseman Tommy White doubled and was hit by a pitch, and designated hitter Brennan Milone singled and drew a pair of walks for the Hounds. Starter Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang allowed 3 runs through 4 frames, while RHP Mark Adamiak tossed a scoreless 6th to pick up the win. RHP Colin Peluse pitched 2 perfect innings in relief, and LHP Will Johnston notched the final three outs to secure the save for the RockHounds. Game #2 of the best-of-three series is set to take place in Midland on Tuesday.
