It has been a rough couple of weeks for the Mesa Solar Sox. They’re riding a six-game losing skid and have been outscored by 26 runs through the first 12 games of the fall slate. Despite the overall rough beginning, a few Yankees farmhands are making the most of their time in the desert.
Ben Cowles started this week slowly at the plate. Through Friday’s action, he was 2-for-13 after his excellent first week. But in the final game of the week, he had his best performance. Cowles went 2-for-3 on Saturday with a double, his second two-bagger and second extra-base hit of the nascent fall season.
