Houston Astros Triple-A Affiliate Round Rock Express Figure Things Out Against The Salt Lake City Bees
Round Rock Express hitters were surely looking forward to this past weekend’s series against the Salt Lake City Bees. Coming into the series the Pacific Coast League pitching rankings of the Bees were: last in ERA, first in home runs allowed, second most runs allowed, third most hits, and issued the fewest strikeouts and fourth most walks. The Express definitely needed some soft pitching; they went into the first game of the series without having scored a run in 16 innings. That gutworm gnawing extended to 19 innings before Round Rock scored two in the third inning of the first game. From there it was fine sailing for The Express, except for a game three hiccup that was more the fault of the pitchers. The offense still managed five runs on eleven hits in that game.
