Big scores at the top and bottom of the games tonight along with a bevy of home runs. Ryan Jackson makes some noise and Chris Corrigan leads Springfield's shutout.

Memphis 6, Las Vegas 19

• A bit of a bloodbath for Memphis pitchers. Both Nick Additon and Kevin Siegrist allowed 6 ER in just 1.1 IP.
  
• Micahel Blazek fared marginally better allowing 2 ER in 1.2 inning. He walked 2 and allowed 4 hits while striking out 2.
• Anderson Gerdel allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1 inning of work. He struck out 1.
• Ryan Jackson was 3-for-5 with a home run and a double. It would be supremely ironic if he forced his way into playing time this year via his bat rather than his glove.
• Brock Peterson was 2-for-5 with a home run.
• Chad Huffman also went yard.
• Colin Walsh was 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a walk. Walsh had a huge season at the plate last year for Quad Cities. The bat will continue to move him up the ladder but the question of position remains.
• Mike O'Neill doubled and walked.
