Down on the Farm: Saturday July 19th

Star of the Day:
Neftali Feliz - SP - Frisco RoughRiders
Feliz is simply awesome. At the age of 20 (and he just turned 20) he made his third start in AA and it was his best. He tossed 6 shutout innings, allowing only 1 hit, 2 walks and struck out 8. Low A hitters hit .193 off him earlier in the year and so far AA hitters are hitting the same.

AAA:
Michael Aubrey - 1B - Buffalo Bisons
Aubrey continues the hot bat. He went 1 for 4 with a walk in the game. Aubrey also hit his 4th minor league homerun of the year, which happened to go for a grandslam. On the day he scored twice and drove in five runs.

AA:
Jeremy Hellickson - SP - Montgomery Biscuits
Like Feliz, Hellickson had his best game since making it to AA. He went 7 shutout innings, allowing 7 hits, 1 walk and struck out 5 batters.

High A:
Hank Conger - DH - Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
Conger slowed down a bit, going 1 for 4 with a run scored double.

Low A:
Matt Dominguez - 3B - Greensboro Grasshoppers
Matt had another strong game going 1 for 3 with a solo homerun. He also walked once and came around to score another run. His homerun was the 6th of the year for him.

Shortseason:
Josh Vitters - 3B - Boise Hawks
Vitters has been very hot over the last 10 days hitting .378. Today he went 2 for 4 with a run scored. On the year he is hitting .344/.386/.508.

Juan Duran - RF - DSL Reds
Duran has got on base the last few games and went 2 for 4 today. He also added a walk and was able to score a run and drive in 3 others.

Isaac Galloway - CF - GCL Marlins
Galloway went 2 for 4 today with a double. He was able to score a run and drive one in.
