After a horrific occurrence buried him months ago, the world cheered as a heroic figure overcame catastrophe and returned to the surface on Tuesday night.
Of course, I'm talking about Jared Mitchell, who played his first baseball since tearing an ankle tendon during a spring training game on March 12.
From here on out, I'll be tacking on the Arizona Fall League box scores to the end of other posts. But I figure the return of Jared Mitchell deserves its own space, because the last time we saw him, it looked like this:
When it should have looked like this:
Mitchell didn't disappoint in his first action since March, as you'll see in the box score.
- Scottsdale 4, Peoria 3
- Jared Mitchell went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. He struck out and was caught stealing.
- Charles Leesman took the loss, allowing a run on two hits and a walk in an inning of work.
- Eduardo Escobar (playing second) went 1-for-2 with a single. He was picked off/caught stealing.
