Memphis 2, Norfolk 0 ; Top 5th

Quinn Mathews ~ 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 HBP....he's cranking 92-93mph Fourseamers now, and in the zone. Busts barrero with a bottom dropping change to end the inning....better Mathews tonight with his offspeed, for sure

Nathan Church ~ 2-2, 2 Singles
Matt Koperniak ~ 1-2, Single
Cesar Prieto ~ 0-2, Run, K
Matt Lloyd ~ 1-2, Double, Run, RBI
Bryan Torres ~ 1-2, Single, RBI
J.J. Wetherholt ~ 0-2
Jimmy Crooks III ~ 0-1, BB, K
Gavin Collins ~ 0-2
Mike Antico ~ 0-1

What's his normal fastball velocity?

94-95

Not sure how easy this will be to read but worth a shot. Can see two separate drops in velocity on the 4 seam

[cosmo.kramer]

Norfolk pitcher has lost it

Walks JJ then Church to load bases, then Lloyd to score a run

Bases loaded, 1 out for Koperniak

Wow that’s a precipitous drop.

like I said earlier in the 1st inning, 3rd game in a row with a drop in velocity from his norm
