ZACH JARRETT

(Class A Delmarva, Md.)

Zach Jarrett — who starred in high school at Hickory and in college at Charlotte – went 2-for-5, hit two home runs, scored twice and drove in four runs on Sunday afternoon as Delmarva beat West Virginia on the road 6-3 before 555.

He started in center field, batted third in the lineup, and upped his batting average to .300 as he reached 100 hits for the season. Jarrett is one of six players in the SAL hitting .300 or better, and he’s tied with Luis Gonzalez of Kannapolis for fifth among league hitters.

Jarrett’s home runs came in the fifth inning with a runner on and in the seventh inning, also a two-run shot.

In 87 games this season, Jarrett also has 19 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs and 52 RBIs. He’s hitting .237 with three home runs and seven RBIs in his last 10 games.

Jarrett is one of 22 players in the SAL with at least 10 home runs – he’s tied for seventh with two other players with Suley Mathias of Lexington (Ky.) leading the way with 26.

Delmarva improved to 50-41 and 15-9 in the second half in the SAL Northern Division standings. The Shorebirds share the second-half lead with Lakewood, N.J.

HAYDEN DEAL

(Class A Rome, Ga.)

Hayden Deal, a star at Bandys High who played college baseball at Presbyterian, did not pitch on Sunday when visiting Rome nipped Augusta (Ga.) 1-0 before 3,598.

Deal is listed as the Braves’ probable starter on Monday night when they face Augusta at 7:05 p.m.

His last start came June 8 when he threw six scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four in a game that Augusta eventually won 4-0.

Deal is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.98, pitching 50 innings this season. Deal has hit four batters, intentionally walked one and walked nine to go with 55 strikeouts.

In his last 10 outings, he is 1-1 with an ERA of 1.87, pitching 33 2/3 innings with six walks and 30 strikeouts.

The Braves are 48-45 overall and 8-16 in the second-half SAL Southern Division standings. They won a first-half title, securing a postseason berth.

HUNTER HARVEY (Class AA Bowie, Md.)

HARVEY

Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey remains in Florida as he recovers from a shoulder injury sustained while trying to maneuver away from a foul ball into the dugout on a day he was not pitching.

When he twisted to avoid being struck by the ball, his right shoulder popped out of socket.

Harvey is now throwing some and is expected to pitch in a game in Florida on Aug. 4.

He was scratched from his 10th start (June 8) and remains listed as “active” on the Bowie roster. He is on the Baltimore Orioles’ 40-man roster, so if he were to go on the 60-day disabled list he would be considered on the major league roster during that time.

Harvey is 1-2 with 32 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 36 hits, 20 runs (all earned), walked eight and struck out 30. His ERA is 5.57.

Bowie finished last in the first-half West Division of the Eastern League, 8 ½ games back of division winner Akron (Ohio).

Bowie won Sunday at Reading (Pa.) 7-1 before 5,014, improving to 41-50 overall in the Eastern League.
