Recapping The Minors: September 5th-8th

It’s been a pretty disappointing weekend for the Astros farm system. The RedHawks and Hooks had poor showings in the playoffs and have both been eliminated. The JetHawks and RiverBandits are still alive as they make a run for a ring. The ValleyCats will begin their championship series on Tuesday as they hope to become the first Astros affiliate to win a ring this season. Here are the notable stat lines from the last several days.
