Curtis Taylor pitching for the Redbirds

Wetherholt starts off the 3rd with a double in the R/CF gap! He was stranded there as Sale got the next three out on a K, a FO to RF, and a comebacker.

Still 1-0 at Memphis, Curtis Taylor has stymied the Stripers on 1 hit thru 5 IP. The Redbirds only have 4 hits, 2 by Wetherholt.
Sale gets the first two out in the bottom 5th, but is removed due to pitch limit. He finishes with 5 K's, no walks.

JJ Wetherholt now faces RH Connor Seabold with 2 out, and takes a walk on 5 pitches.

Interesting fact about Memphis position players on current roster - 10 of 12 are LH batters!

The Redbirds are wearing the strangest looking jerseys I have ever seen on a baseball field tonight. Some kind of Harry Potter night so they have these maroon and gold striped scarf looking things on the jerseys. Could Mo have designed these things??

Taylor has 1 hitter thru 6. 59 pitches, 3 K's. 1-0.

Memphis receives 3 walks in the 6th to load the bases but Siani grounds out to 2b to end the inning.

Release MIkolas and give Taylor a tryout for the rest of this season?

Gwinnett takes the lead with 2 unearned runs off Taylor. Error on 3B Collins to start the inning, and then two hits including one bloop. Taylor gets the third out on strikeout.

are they wearing bow ties?

Wetherholt starts the 7th with a ringing double off the wall. He's now 3 for 3 with 2 doubles, a single, and a walk.

No, thank God.

Torres sacrifices Wetherholt to third with a bunt, and then Blaze Jordan brings in the tying run with a grounder to 1B which Wetherholt beat the throw home.

Gwinnett takes a 4-2 lead in the top of 8th on a 2 out double and then 2 singles off Cornwell.

Wetherholt grounds out to 2b to start the 9th, and Torres and Jordan are also retired to end the game.

I watched a few innings, and it was like watching the Cardinals - boring. Especially when the bases were loaded on walks and they couldn't score. It is also difficult for an announcer to work by himself.

Sure enjoyed watching Wetherholt. Didn’t you, Red?
