Opponents and teammates alike marveled at the performance Boca Raton pitcher Alex Gonzalez turned in Tuesday night during the fourth-ranked Bobcats 2-1 upset of top-ranked Jupiter.

Gonzalez's five-hitter helped the Bobcats (8-1) escape with the victory.

"He was unbelievable," Boca Raton third baseman Sean Gallagher said of Gonzalez. "He was just shutting everyone down. He had movement on everything. That was one of the best performances I've ever seen him pitch."

With one out in the bottom of the second, a single and two walks loaded the bases for the Bobcats. Gallagher then hit a sacrifice fly to score Michael Tallet.

Andrew Flint followed with a single to drive in Gonalez to give Boca a 2-0 lead, which is all Gonzalez would need.

Jupiter (8-1) scored in the top of the third, taking advantage of Boca throwing and fielding errors.

Jupiter outhit Boca 5-3, but couldn't advance any runners past first base in the final four innings.

"This is a tough district and every game is going to be a big game. You have to come with your 'A' game and you can't make mental mistakes," Jupiter coach Doug Ferguson said. "But I thought the difference was their pitcher. He was just awesome. He had command of all of his pitches and he was spotting it up really well and he really shut us down. I really tip my cap to him."

Gonzalez had eight strikeouts and no walks.

"I threw a lot more fastballs than I did change-ups or curveballs and they couldn't hit them, so they struggled," said Gonzalez, who improved to 3-0. "But we're a good team and they're a good team, so I knew it was going to be a tough game."

      Holliday optioned, McKenna recalled

      Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,

      I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play.

      My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.

      Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup.

      Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By Frobby · Posted

      He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
