AZL Angels Rally to Edge AZL Cubs at Sloan Park
Jahmal Jones crushed a three-run HR and Chad Hinshaw drilled an RBI double and a single, reached base on an HBP, and scored a run, as the AZL Angels rallied for a run in the 7th and a run in the 8th to edge the AZL Cubs 5-4 in Arizona League action last night at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.
Jose Paniagua belted an RBI double and a single and scored two runs and Michael Foster (Cubs 2015 16th round draft pick - Northeastern U.) singled twice and reached base on an HBP for the Cubs in a losing cause. Foster also turned-in the defensive play of the game, a diving catch in short right-field in the top of the 4th inning.
2B Angelo Amendolare (Cubs 2015 27th round draft pick - Jacksonville U.) has been sent to the AZL Cubs from AAA Iowa, where he provided some bench depth for the I-Cubs for the past couple of weeks after four Iowa position players (Andreoli, Chambers, Dent, and Valaika) found their way to the DL within a seven-day period in early July. Amendolare is a mature, polished college senior with experience in the Cape Cod League who was one of the Top 50 hitters in NCAA D-1 in 2015. He went 0-4 in his AZL Cub debut Monday night.
