Fall/Winter League Update for 10/27/2008

In Arizona: Omar Aguilar was the only Brewer to appear in Friday's AFL Rising Stars Game. He pitched the ninth, gave up a run on two hits, and was credited with both a blown save and the win as the National Rising Stars came out on top, 7-6.

Then on Saturday, Lou Palmisano entered the game late and went 0-for-1, Lorenzo Cain went 0-for-4, Alexandre Periard walked three and allowed two runs in one inning of work, and Brae Wright allowed a run on two hits and two walks in two innings as the Javelinas got blown out by the Saguaros, 15-4.

The AFL was off on Sunday, but returns to action today with the Javelinas hosting Scottsdale at 2:35.

In Hawai'i: No Brewers appeared on Friday in the CaneFires' 8-2 win over Honolulu.

Saturday and Sunday's games were rained out, and Hawai'i Winter Baseball is off today. The CaneFires could return to action tomorrow night at North Shore.

In Mexico: Chris Narveson started Saturday for Hermosillo and took the loss, giving up 4 runs on 9 hits and a walk in just 3.1 innings while striking out 4.
