*Brent Carter certainly made his presence known right away in the Midwest League following his promotion from short-season Eugene...
" 2 G, 2 GS, 0 CG, 0 SHO, 2-0, 0.75 ERA, 12.0 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 13 SO
Fort Wayne won just three of its final 15 games, and if not for the late addition of Brent Carter, the Wizards may very well have finished even worse. The 16th-round pick from the University of Alabama made the most of his late-season promotion from Eugene, allowing just one run on seven hits in 12 innings over two starts. He struck out 13 while walking just one batter, working six innings in each outing. On Wednesday, the 6-foot-3 southpaw shut out Lansing through 5 2/3 innings before giving up a solo homer, but picked up the win in a 3-1 victory. Carter was even better next time out, blanking Dayton on three hits and a walk in six innings while striking out eight in a 7-0 win. After four seasons with the Crimson Tide, the 22-year-old was drafted in June and sent to the Northwest League, where he was 4-2 with a 1.88 ERA in 13 starts with Eugene. In 84 innings with the Emeralds and the Wizards, Carter struck out 79 batters while issuing only eight walks."
*Jeremy Brown has truly been carrying the Midland RockHounds down the stretch, leading the Oakland AA affiliate to a decisive Game 5 of the Texas League Championship Series. He and teammate Casey Meyers combined to provide all of the 'Hounds 5 runs in Game 3, with Jeremy contributing a pair of hits, including a two-run bomb.
