St. Joseph, MO - Abner Arroyo, the American Association's Batter of the Week, left the game with an injured left ankle in the Canaries 3-1 loss to the St. Joe Blacksnakes on Wednesday night.
The Blacksnakes (8-17) scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Ben Thomas was hit by a pitch to start the inning and then advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Thomas would score on a double by Jake Whitesides for a 1-0 lead. Wil Quintana followed with a triple to score Whitesides making it 2-0. Jefferson Infante singled home Quintana for the 3-0 lead.
