The Surprise Saguaros dropped to 7-5 with a loss on Monday night that saw three Pittsburgh Pirates get into the game. Both Henry Davis and Nick Gonzales were in the starting lineup on Tuesday afternoon. Davis is playing for the first time in five days, missing time after he got hit by a back-swing while on defense. Here’s a recap of today’s action.
Gonzales batted lead-off and played shortstop. He hit a soft liner to shortstop for the first out of the game. He reached on an error in the fourth, which was the first base runner of the game for Surprise. He scored a run on a sacrifice fly two batters later. Gonzales struck out in the fifth and then again in the seventh. He salvaged his day in a big way in the ninth with a two-run homer, his second of the fall. He went 1-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs
Davis hit third and he was behind the plate. He struck out swinging on three pitches to end the top of the first. Davis hit the fourth inning sacrifice fly that scored Gonzales with the first run of the game. He struck out again in the sixth, then hit his fourth double of the fall in the eighth inning. He finished 1-for-3 with a double and RBI
Tahnaj Thomas came out for the fifth inning and struck out the side on 17 pitches, twice going full count on the hitters. That was his only inning of work. He came into the day with eight runs allowed in 3.2 innings this fall. He allowed eight runs total of his final 36.1 innings (June 1st to end of season) during the regular season.
Surprise won 6-2.
Surprise plays tomorrow night at 9:35 PM. Games are streamed here.
Here’s the double from Davis
LOUD Henry Davis contact. Throws some dirt on his hands and pounds this to CF. Looks and sounded like it could go, wind coming in might have pulled it but CF loses it in the sun. @henrydavis32 #ProspectOne pic.twitter.com/0MXF0RbTzC
