Dunedin 5 Daytona 2 - game two
This is what I noted from yesterday's games.
The Fisher Cats bunched their hits to win their game. They had seven hits in total. Four in the first inning where they scored two runs and two in the eleventh where they scored four runs. They had one hit in the other nine innings combined. Tanner Morris had the big hit in the eleventh, a bases loaded single that scored two. Rafael Lantigua followed with a two run double. Morris and Lantigua had two hits each. One unusual aspect of this game was that by the tenth inning Erie had used seven pitchers. They then sent a catcher out to pitch the eleventh inning. New Hampshire were happy to see him.
Trent Palmer made his AA debut and went five innings allowing one run on three hits. He struck out six. Five relievers completed the game. Palmer has an open stance when he pitches to use a hitting phrase. His left leg points to first base when he comes set. In total he threw 77 pitches, 47 for strikes but it looked like a nasty day to pitch, just 12 degrees at game time with drizzle.
Alejandro Melean started for Vancouver and he went four innings, his longest start of the year. Tri-City scored one run against him on three hits.
The C's trailed 3-0 in the seventh but came back to win. Trevor Schwecke doubled in a run in the seventh and Miguel Hiraldo followed with an RBI single to make it a one run game. In the ninth Addison Barger led off with a single, stole second, went to third ona fly ball and scored on a sac fly by PK Morris. Davis Schneider singled in the ghost runner in the tenth.
In the first Dunedin game three hitters had two hits each. Gabriel Martinez was 2-3 with a walk, scored twice and drove in one. Estivan Machado was 2-4 with a triple and two RBI. One of Damiano Palmegiani two hits was a solo home run in the seventh inning.
Nick Frasso started game one and went four shutout innings with five K's.
In game two it was the same hitters who have been hot all month. Gabriel Martinez went 2-4 including his sixth home run. Rainer Nunez hit his tenth home run and added a triple. Other than that is was a team effort with seven hitters either scoring or driving in a run.
Rafael Ohashi started and had seven K's in five innings. Daytona scored two runs on four hits off him.
