STATESBORO — Two former Georgia Southern baseball players were promoted last week.

Matt Murray reached the highest minor-league level, Triple-A, and tossed four scoreless frames for the Omaha Storm Chasers on Friday. Murray is now just a call away from joining his parent club, the Kansas City Royals.

Victor Roache also was promoted last week and joined the Biloxi Shuckers, the new Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. Roache already has made headlines of his own after joining the club on June 17. In just his first game with the Shuckers, he hit a walk-off home run in the 15th inning of a scoreless game Saturday.

Here are some other Eagle notes from around professional baseball:

• Eric Alonzo — Alonzo tossed six innings over two games for the Island Empire 66ers. Alonzo went 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA and allowed five runs on eight hits. Alonzo struck out six batters with no walks and allowed just one extra base hit on the week. On the season, he is 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA in three games.
