Portland Sea Dogs News Release
Erie, Pennsylvania- The Erie SeaWolves were determined not to miss out on any more opportunites. One night after losing 5-4 to the Portland Sea Dogs despite cranking out 15 hits, the SeaWolves offense exploded for an 11-3 win behind 14 hits against the Sea Dogs on Wednesday night. Jamie Johnson, Rawley Bishop and Adam Calderone each had a pair of RBI for Erie.
Just like last night, the SeaWolves took a 3-0 lead, this time behind a two-run double by Bishop and an RBI single by Francisco Martinez. Portland pulled within a run in the fourth inning against Jacob Turner (2-1). Chih-Hsien Chiang hit a sacrifice fly. Then, Tony Thomas stole second base, moved to third on an errant throw by the catcher Bryan Holaday, and scored on another error by Johnson in centerfield.
Erie would rally right back with RBI hits from Holaday and Calderone in the fourth to make it 5-2, chasing Portland starter Brock Huntzinger (4-4) from the game. Jeremy Kehrt would not fare much better as he lasted just an inning and two-thirds, allowing six runs and four earned. In the fifth inning alone, the SeaWolves scored six runs on five hits, sending ten men to the plate.
Cesar Cabral stopped the bleeding with three scoreless innings of work, but Portland's offense couldn't generate a big rally against the Erie bullpen. Chiang added his 11th home run of the year, a solo shot, in the top of the ninth to close out the scoring. The loss snaps a six-game road winning streak for Portland, the team's first road loss in the month of June.
The Sea Dogs wrap up their series against the SeaWolves tomorrow night. The six-game road trip brings Portland to Akron for a three-game series with the Aeros starting Friday night. The Sea Dogs return to Hadlock Field for a three-game series with the Trenton Thunder starting Tuesday, June 21st. That night will be Jimmy Buffett night. This weekend, the Sea Dogs will have their 4th annual Father's Day 5K Road Race, starting at 9:15 AM on Sunday. For tickets, log on to www.seadogs.com or call 207-879-9500.
