Colorado Springs got by Tacoma, 7-4. Back in 1995 the Seattle Mariners managed a miraculous comeback during the regular season to end up tying the California Angels and eventually making it to the ALCS. In exchange for that, the Mariners sold the rights to every interesting arm to the devil. In the third inning Jorge Campillo was struck in the forearm by a line drive. He finished the inning, but didn't come back. Hopefully it's just a precaution, but after watching pitching prospects in the M's system, don't be surprised if he has broken bone or severed head. Ryan Christianson led Rainier offense with three hits and a walk.
Notables:
Jorge Campillo: 6.2 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 2 HR. (The box score is wrong about this.)
Jamal Strong: 0-3.
Abraham Nunez: 0-5.
Justin Leone: 0-4, 1 BB.
Ryan Christianson: 3-3, 1 BB.
Mike Morse: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI.
Bryce Terveen: 2-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI.

Bakersfield routed Inland Empire, 7-1. Ryan Feierabend went four innings and wasn't half-bad considering that of the twelve outs he collected, nine were strikeouts. Nibaldo Acosta went 1.1 innings and was. The 66'ers couldn't get anything going with the stick as they mustered only four hits and only reached base five times (one HBP).
Notables:
Ryan Feierabend: 4.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 9 K.
Nibaldo Acosta: 1.1 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR.

Adam Jones: 1-3.
Wladimir Balentien: 1-4.
Bryan Lahair: 0-4.
While there is no current box, Wisconsin beat Beloit, 5-2. Mark Lowe went six innings giving up two runs on five hits. Josh Womack and Oswaldo Navarro powered the offense by both driving in a couple runs and Yung Chi Chen broke out of his 0-10 slump with a single in the seventh.
