Around the Farm takes a quick look at how some of the prospects in the Indians system performed in yesterday's games. As always, the positions listed below are where the player was playing in yesterday's game.

It was a walk-off kinda day throughout the system yesterday. The Clip Show keeps on rolling, with a walk-off win on a wild pitch in the 10th. Akron lost to Altoona on a walk-off  single in the bottom of the 9th, and the Captains lost a 1-run lead on a walk-off 2-run single in the bottom of the 9th against Dayton. Meanwhile, Kinston won with a three-run rally in the top of the 9th inning on the road against Frederick. So they didn't walk-off, but they won in their last AB which is the closest thing to it.

Casey Frawley, SS-KIN: 1-5, HR (4), 3 RBI, R, 3 K

Baseball can be a funny game. Frawley entered the 9th inning yesterday having a miserable day, going 0-4 with 3 K up to that point. Funny how one at bat can change that in a hurry.  Frawley hit a go-ahead, 3-run HR with 2 out in the top of the 9th inning to give the K-Tribe a 6-5 lead that they would hang on to in the bottom of the 9th to seal the win against Frederick. Frawley is only hitting .222 overall on the season, but has now homered in back-to-back games and has hit in four straight.

• Nick Hagadone, RP-COL: W (1-0). IP, K. Clean inning for Hagadone in his 2nd AAA appearance after giving up a run in his first outing.
• Stephen Wright, RP-COL: 2 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H. 2 K. The knuckleball tour was called up to Columbus all the way from Lake County yesterday as the injury dominos fell throughout the org.
• Lonnie Chisenhall, 3B-COL: 2-5, HR (4), RBI, 2 R. Hopefully this wakes up Lonnie's bat, as he's been on the cool side lately. He's put up just a .243/.333/.432 line in his last 10 games with 2 HR and 3 RBI.
• Cord Phelps, SS-COL: 2-5, RBI, R, 3 K. Phelps was at bat when Durham's Elkstron uncorked the wild pitch that ended the game. Fear the Phelps.
• Jerad Head, CF-COL: 2-4, HR (6), 2B, RBI, 2 R, K. Head is leading the team in all of the triple-slash categories this season with an impressive .350/.415/.573 line so far this season. But he's not really seen as a CF option in the big leagues, so Zeke Carrera got the call when Sizemore went to the DL and Buck was banged up.
• Chad Huffman, RF-COL: 2-5, 2B, RBI. Huffman is putting up a solid .278/.391/.472 line with 6/26 for Columbus that is a little better than his usual minor league #'s.
• Josh Rodriguez, LF-COL: 2-5, R, SB, 2 K. Rodriguez is hitting .231 since being re-aquired by the Indians, but does have 2 HR and is slugging .410. Honestly, I'm not sure why we didn't just work out a deal to let the Pirates keep him and have a guy like Tim Fedroff get a shot at the AAA OF.
• Matt Packer, SP-AKR: 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 5 K, BB. Packer left the game with the lead, but the bullpen couldn't preserve his win. He's just 1-5 on the season, but has solid peripherials with a 4.30 ERA, 31 K, 8 BB and a 2.15 GO/AO rate in his 46 IP for the Aeros.
• Tim Fedroff, LF-AKR: 1-4, R. Hitting streak now at 15 games, and still leading the Eastern League in hitting with his .376 average.
• Beau Mills, 1B-AKR: 2-3, 3 RBI. Yup, that Beau Mills. Trying to get his career back on track after innefectiveness and injury issues, Mills is hitting .294 (5-17) since being activated to Akron's roster from extended spring training. Remember when he won the Carolina League MVP back in 2008?
• Matt McBride, RF-AKR: 2-4, HR (7), RBI, R. McBride smoked a game-tying HR in the top of the 9th, only to see his heroics wasted when the Akron bullpen again faltered and allowed a walk-off winner in the bottom of the inning.
• T.J. House, SP-KIN: 6 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 3 K, BB. House left the game on the short end of a 5-1 score, but the bats bailed him out late in the game to get him off the hook for the loss. House is now 2-3 with a 5.03 ERA on the season after finishing last year with a 3.91 ERA for the K-Tribe.
• Chris Jones, RP-KIN: W (1-0), 2 IP, BB, K. Solid outing for Jones, who has been struggling this year. He brought his ERA down to 5.06 on the season.
• Preston Guilmet, RP-KIN: S (8), IP, H, K. Guilmet now has 14 straight scoreless appearances spanning 15 2/3 IP to start off 2011.
• Justin Toole, 2B-KIN: 3-4, 2 2B, R, CS. Toole has been battling Tyler Holt for the team lead in hitting, and currently leads the K-Tribe with his .298 AVG. Over his last 10 games, Toole has hit .344/.364/.500.
• Mike Rayl, SP-LCC: 6 IP, 3 H, 5 K, BB. Rayl's strong start was wasted when the Lake County bullpen couldn't hold on to a 1-0 lead for him late in the game. He's been outstanding for the Captains on the season, allowing more than 2 ER in just one start, and posting a 1.96 ERA with 44 K and 10 BB in 41 1/3 IP.
• Trey Haley, RP-LCC: 1 2/3 IP, ER, 2 H, 4 K. Haley has thrown 9 2/3 innings for Lake County, striking out 13.
• Gio Urshela, 3B-LCC: 2-4, 2 1B. Urshela was one of only 2 Captains with more than one hit yesterday. His bat has been showing increased signs of life lately, as he's now hit in 6 straight games.
• Dwight Childs, C-LCC: 2-4, 2B, K. Childs is up in Lake County from extended spring training, hitting .375 in limited action with the Captains.
