Stashak authors four-strikeout frame

You something different every day in baseball. But for the second time in 10 days, one of the game's rarest occurrences took place.
Double-A Chattanooga right-hander Cody Stashak struck out four Tennessee batters in the sixth inning Monday after a passed ball on a third strike, but the Smokies scored twice in the bottom of the 10th inning to top the Lookouts, 5-4, at Smokies Stadium.

The Twins reliever struck out Jeffrey Baez after taking over for starter Andrew Vasquez. Cubs No. 22 prospect Zack Short struck out swinging, but the ball eluded catcher Brian Navarreto. Stashak brushed off the passed ball and fanned Yasiel Balaguert and Ian Rice swinging to cap the frame.
It marked the second time a pitcher authored a four-strikeout inning in 10 days as Wilkel Hernandezturned the feat for short-season Connecticut on June 22.
