Mound Presence
The one run was all Messick needed in his Double-A debut. The only trouble the left-hander faced was in the second inning when Binghamton put runners on second and third with two outs, but Messick was able get a strikeout of Jaylen Palmer to end the threat. In total, Messick worked five innings allowing no runs and four hits while striking out four.
How about the #QuAkron debut for Parker Messick!
