New Britain Rock Cats News Release


New Britain, CT - Erie pounded out 15 hits - led by Wilkin Ramirez and Clete Davis - en route to a 13-3 win over New Britain.

Rock Cats starter Josh Hill lasted just three innings, as he was battered around for seven runs on seven hits. The Sea Wolves jumped out to an early lead in the first inning. Michael Hollimon delivered a long hit to center field and Brandon Roberts looked to have made a spectacular running catch for the second out. Roberts couldn't hold onto the ball, though, and his miscue allowed Peter Cotto to move to third and Hollimon to reach second base. The Rock Cats appeared to have another out in sight when first baseman David Winfree misplayed a grounder off the bat of Jeff Larish. The error allowed Cotto and Hollimon to score and put Erie ahead, 2-0.

Kody Kirkland added a solo homer in the second inning for a 3-0 advantage for the visitors.

The Rock Cats came through in the bottom of the inning. Felix Molina and Matthew Allegra both delivered an RBI double. Roberts singled to left field to score David Winfree to tie the game, 3-3.

Hill (2-1) faltered in the third, as he allowed four runs in the inning, including RBI singles by Steve Torrealba (2-for-3, 3 R, 3 RBI) and Ramirez. Hill struggled with control during the inning as he hit a batter, had a throwing error, and fired a wild pitch that led to the fourth run of the inning and broke open the game for Erie.

For Erie, Ramirez finished the night with three hits, four RBI, and two runs scored, including a three-run blast in the eighth inning. Thomas added four hits and scored three runs. Eddie Bonine (12-5) tossed six solid innings for Erie with three runs on six hits.
