Although as an organization, the minors went 1-6 on Friday, there were bright spots.
20. James Nelson (Jupiter Hammerheads)
Nelson started out his day with a two-out first-inning walk for the Jupiter Hammerheads. Although the team eventually dropped a 6-2 decision to the Charlotte Stone Crabs, some players had their moments. Nelson had an RBI-groundout in the third and an RBI-single in the fifth, accounting for all the Hammerheads RBI in the game.
19. Alex Vesia (Batavia Muckdogs)
Vesia, who is a recent draftee and an even more recent promotee within the Miami Marlins system, pitched two innings of relief in Batavia’s 5-4 loss to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers.
