Stars of the Day: May 18

Matt Harrison (3-1;  3.15), got his own entry for his no-htter in Frisco's 2-0 victory over San Antonio.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Neftali Feliz (4-1;  2.53) saw his scoreless innings streak come to an end at 23.1, but he was still utterly dominant, holding the Kernals to a run on three hits and no walks while six down on strikes in six innings of work as the LumberKings improved to 29-10, extending their lead in the Midwest League West Division to 3.5 games over Kane County.

A seventh inning two-run jack from Mitchell Moreland (.292 / .324 / .472), who finished 1-4, put Feliz in line for the victory.   Shortstop Andres James (.233 / .250 / .267) posted Clinton's only multi-hit effort, going 2-4.

In Memphis,  war horse Steve Rowe (2.91 ERA) blanked the RedBirds on four hits and no walks over the first five and Kam Loe held them to just one hit over the last three, but the hit Loe surrendered was a homer and Memphis kept the RedHawks off the board to post a 1-0 victory.

Bakersfield got four RBIs from outfielder Grant Gerrard (.293 / .349 / .490) who finished 2-4 with his fifth homer of the year, but it wasn't enough to overcome a bit of a rough outing from Kasey Kiker (5.67 ERA) who surrendered five runs on eight hits while punching out eight over six innings.
