The Surprise Saguaros came into Tuesday’s action with the best record (6-1) in the Arizona Fall League. They won last night behind a strong day from Henry Davis, who was one of three Pittsburgh Pirates in Tuesday afternoon’s lineup. Here’s a recap of all of the important stuff from Tuesday.
Nick Gonzales batted third and played second base (he has played shortstop this fall as well). He had a rough first inning, committing an error on defense and then lining out to center field. He lined out to left field to end the third inning, then flew out to left field in the fifth. He continued his assault on the left fielder’s glove in the seventh with another line out. He had an 0-for-4 day.
Henry Davis batted fifth and he was behind the plate. He flew out to center field in the second inning, then popped out to third base in the fourth. Davis grounded out to shortstop to end the fifth, then grounded out to shortstop again in the eighth. He had an 0-for-4 day.
Jacob Gonzalez got his first start, batting ninth in the DH spot. He struck out in the third inning, then lined out to center field to end the fourth inning. He struck out to end the sixth inning. He had an 0-for-3 day.
Despite the Pirates players all struggling at the plate today, the Saguaros won 3-2 to move to 7-1 on the season.
Surprise has off tomorrow.
