It was 104 degrees at first pitch, and 93 by the time the game ended around 7pm local time.
The first-pitch heat nearly foreshadowed the final score, with the Arizona team ultimately coming out on top in the duel in the desert. Brecht got wrecked Brody Brecht ( No. 3 PuRP ) got the start for the Rockies prospect crew, and he did not have a good outing.
Things unraveled early, as an error by Charlie Condon ( No. 1 PuRP ) allowed JD Dix to reach. Then, Jansel Luis singled, followed by back-to-back walks by LuJames Groover and Ryan Waldschmidt to put the Snakes up early.
Brecht came back and struck out Gavin Conticello, but then Jose Fernandez and Druw Jones hit back-to-back singles to score three more runs. However, Carlos Virahonda struck out to end the inning after Jones was caught stealing. Brecht would come back for the second and got a quick ground out of Kayson Cunningham.
