White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 11, 2023

Calvin Harris got the Jeff Cohen bump.

On Friday morning, Jeff posed a quick getting-to-know-you video with the White Sox's fourth-round pick, asking him about his game...

... and then a little bit about Ole Miss and Iowa, where Harris grew up:

Then he went out and hit a walk-off two-run shot in Kannapolis' 8-7 victory over Down East.

Gwinnett 10, Charlotte 1

• Lenyn Sosa went 1-for-4.
• Adam Hackenberg singled, walked twice and struck out once.

Rome 5, Winston-Salem 3

• Jacob Burke went 1-for-4 with an HBP, but he was caught stealing.
• Loidel Chapelli was 1-for-5 with two strikeouts.
• DJ Gladney left the game after being plunked on the hand/wrist in his only PA.
• Josimar Cousin: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

Notes:

*Cousin had a lengthy mound visit in the second inning, during which he pointed to his neck a handful of times. He completed that inning, but he didn't come out to pitch the third.

*The box score shows Tommy Sommer relieving Cousin, but Sommer left Thursday's game with an injury. It turns out Anderson Comás actually made his High-A debut in the third inning, and he pitched three scoreless innings.

Kannapolis 8, Down East 7

• Jordan Sprinkle went 2-for-5.
• Calvin Harris maximized his 1-for-4 night: He drew a walk, he scored three runs, and the hit was a walk-off two-run homer.
• Tanner McDougal: 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 25 of 38 pitches for strikes.

ACL White Sox 2, ACL Royals 0

• Ryan Burrowes went 1-for-3 with a sac bunt, a strikeout and two stolen bases.
• Ronny Hernandez was 0-for-4 with a K.
• George Wolkow did the same.
• Christian Oppor: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
• Seth Keener: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

DSL White Sox 7, DSL Orioles Orange 3 (7 innings)

• Abraham Nunez went 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
• Stiven Flores went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk, and he was picked off.
