Three former Cartersville High stars, now playing on Minor League Baseball teams, had successful weeks.

L-R: Mason Barnett, Logan Martin, and Anthony Seigler

MASON BARNETT — Las Vegas Aviators (Oakland A’s Triple-A affiliate; 4th-year pro; Auburn; Cartersville HS) … improved his season record to 4-1 as a starting pitcher last Saturday as the Aviators beat the visiting Salt Lake Bees 9-3. The 24-year-old right-hander went six innings and allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk, lowering his season ERA to 5.79. He fanned nine. Las Vegas (24-44) swept a six-game series last week at home against Salt Lake and has won seven straight entering the week. They lead Reno and Sacramento by 11-½ games in the Pacific Coast League West Division. The Aviators visit the Sugar Land Space Cowboys this week for a six-game series.

LOGAN MARTIN — Quad Cities River Bandits (Kansas City Royals High-Class A affiliate; 3rd-year pro; Kentucky; Cartersville HS) … the 23-year-old collected his fifth pitching win of the season and improved to 5-3 this past Saturday in a five-inning home start that was an eventual 12-1 victory over the Beloit Sky Carp. He allowed one earned run on six hits with no walks and four strikeouts. Quad Cities (38-25) has won five straight entering the week and holds a one-game lead over Cedar Rapids. The River Bandits host a six-game series this week with the Lansing Lugnuts.

ANTHONY SEIGLER — Nashville Sounds (Milwaukee Brewers Triple-A affiliate; 8th-year pro; Cartersville HS) … made four starts last week in a six-game series at the Norfolk Tides. He was 3-for-17, including one home run, one double, three runs scored, and three RBI. He walked four times in his four starts. The 25-year-old’s hot bat has continued through mid-June. He has hit safely in 27 of his 29 games dating back to May 2 and currently has a .299 batting average, including seven homers, 28 RBI, and has stolen 17 bases. Nashville (40-27) entered the week with a ½-game lead over the Indianapolis Indians in the International League West. The Sounds play a six-game series this week at the Memphis Redbirds.
