Zack Muckenhirn made his second start tonight for the Shorebirds and it was another good one. AÂ 2016 11th rounder out of North Dakota, Muckenhirn pitched six innings, allowing just one run on 4 hits, while walking none and striking out 8. He now has pitched to a 0.84 ERA over his first two starts and is a name you definitely want to keep an eye on (Tony recently ranked Muckenhirn #18 on his updated prospect list). He’s the Hangout Minor League Player of the Night!
