There were some heavy hitters and a close game last week in Minor League action. 
On June 18, Southern Landscape Supply faced off with DTC in a game with some big scoring from the SLS bench. 
After what seemed to be a stalemate in the first inning, SLS came alive in the second with Braxton Hutchings, Isaac Cross, Garrett Hayes, Ben Snipes, Andrew Vickers, Matthew Keaton, and Dylan Trapp each coming in with a run. 
DTC’s scoring also came in the second, but with only Conner Crabtree, Michael White, and Eli Judkins touching home plate. 
SLS matched their previous inning’s score in the third with Cross, Vickers, Keaton, and Trapp joining Caleb Taylor, Jordan Parker, and Landon Cripps for runs.  DTC’s Crabtree scored again in the third for DTC with Levi Cantrell also touching home plate. 
Braxton Hutchings threw 52 pitches for SLS before Isaac Cross came in and threw 30.  DTC’s Levi Cantrell was the starting pitcher, throwing 38, before Axel Aldino threw 67.
