Five: Mass Reliever Lovefest
I don’t have time for full player-by-player breakdowns, but I’ll run through the guys that really helped their teams yesterday by level.
Iowa: 4.2 scoreless innings from a combination of Brad Wieck, Adam Morgan and Jason Adam. Morgan’s up to five scoreless innings with Iowa, which really makes me wonder when the opt-out date off his minor league contract might be.

The first inning was reminiscent of the previous three games in the series as the RiverDogs went on the attack right out of the gate. Alika Williams opened the home half of the frame with a single and was joined on base by Brett Wisely, who walked. Heriberto Hernandez followed with a booming home run to left field that put the RiverDogs on top 3-0. Charleston loaded the bases with one out later in the same inning, but could not pl

(tap, tap, tap.) Ahem. Is this thing on? Is it still working? I don’t remember how to turn it on anymore. We’re really going to do this thing, huh? OK. Let’s go. I’ll give it my best shot.
