The only base runner Abel has allowed in 5 scoreless innings was on a Corey Rosier single. He has 7 strikeouts, including Teel twice.Mick Abel & Angel Bastardo seem to have a similar slinging motion, but Abel appears to be better at the whole pitching thing at this point of their careers, though.
We might have jinxed him last night.Penrod has allowed 2 more runs in the 3rd. Greenville is losing 4-0 in the 3rd & has no hits.
Feliz double scores Yuten, 6-0.The "all good news is in Salem" rule holds true.
JOHANFRAN walked & stole 2nd, then scored on a Yuten single.

That ties the game at 2 in the top of the 5th.Bradley Zimmer hit a 2-run homer for Worcester.

2 runs
2 hits
5 walks
3 strikeouts

Wyatt Olds pitched a 1-2-3 6th on 9 pitches, 7 strikes, & a strikeout. I'm quasi-intrigued despite the 8.63 ERA.
Olds walked the lead off hitter in the 8th on 4 pitches that weren't close. Probably should have settled for the 2 innings.Olds hit a guy in the 7th & I think I understand the problem... he doesn't have enough control of his pitches. But he got the other 3 guys out.
I said Bastardo & Abel slung the ball, & they do from like a 75%. Olds slings it even more so & from a 60% with movement & I'm kinda interested if he learns how to harness it.
Then he stole 2nd on the pitcher. & a double over Rosier's head, & the runner took 3rd when they tried to get the guy at the plate.Olds walked the lead off hitter in the 8th on 4 pitches that weren't close. Probably should have settled for the 2 innings.
It was smashed, but Rosier seemed to take an awkward jump early to avoid a wall he wasn't that close to.Then he stole 2nd on the pitcher. & a double over Rosier's head, & the runner took 3rd when they tried to get the guy at the plate.
Rosier looked really awkward on the ball...
Webb doesn't seem like he's in very good shape for a young modern athlete. Had a very successful inning, though - 2 strikeouts & a groundout to strand the inherited runner on 3rd.It was smashed, but Rosier seemed to take an awkward jump early to avoid a wall he wasn't that close to.
Anyway, pretty poor letting Olds pitch a 3rd inning. Jacob Webb in.
