The Squirrels got a big player to come back to the field, and got a big hit from a player who hasn’t had one in ages. Sean Hjelle made his return for his first game in a little over two weeks, since leaving his June 17th start with an injury. He had an excellent game, allowing just two hits over four scoreless innings, without a walk. At the plate, Heliot Ramos hit his first home run in a little over three weeks, leading an offensive explosion for the Squirrels.
Other Notes:
- Ramos’ first home run in a month hopefully will push him away from a horrid slump that plagued his June. Ramos hit just .155/.261/.268 in the month of June, with just two home runs. In his first four games of July, he is just 3-for-16.
- Sean Hjelle left his June 17th game with an undisclosed injury, and was helped off the field. He picked up right where he left off, and has 46 strikeouts to 10 walks in 37.2 innings so far this season. Hjelle as proved his health, as hit hit a ball down the right field line and ran out the double.
- Frank Rubio struck out a season-high four, but ended up allowing a pair of runs, his first runs allowed since June 19th. Rubio has 18 strikeouts to four walks in 18.2 innings.
- Simon Whiteman picked up another two hits, and is now batting .254 across 18 games at Double-A, after going hitless in his first four games at the level. He’s been 18-for-54 since, batting .333.

Eugene’s offense and defense seemed to be already out to the Fourth of July BBQs in this game. The team had barely more hits (5) than errors (4), although it only resulted in one unearned run on the day. The Emeralds fell behind in the first, allowing a home run. The majority of the scoring didn’t happen until late, but the Emeralds didn’t get on the board until the 9th inning, when Tyler Fitzgerald doubled to knock in Armani Smith.
Other Notes:
- Tyler Fitzgerald hit his 12th double, his first since June 27th, in his 50th game. Fitzgerald had 15 in 48 games in 2019.
