Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


LOWELL, MA --- Garin Cecchini went 4-for-5 with three runs, double and RBI as the Lowell Spinners capitalized on four Vermont errors for five unearned runs in a 10-4 victory over the Lake Monsters on Tuesday night in New York-Penn League action at LeLecheur Park.

The Spinners scored three times in the bottom of the first inning, including a two-run double from Boss Moanaroa and added another run in the third for a 4-0 lead before Vermont cut the deficit to one with three runs in the fifth.

With the bases loaded and no outs in the fifth, Aaron Shipman smacked a two-run double to centerfield scoring Diomedes Lopez and Chris Affinito to cut the lead in half to 4-2. After Sean Jamieson was hit by a pitch to reload the bases with no outs, the Lake Monsters were able to plate just one more run on a Chad Oberacker sacrifice fly as Chad Lewis struckout with the tying run on third and Xavier Macklin popped out.

Lowell got a run back in the sixth with an unearned run on a Jamieson throwing error, then the Spinners used two Vermont errors to score three unearned runs in a five-run seventh inning. Cecchini made it 6-3 with an RBI double off reliever Jeff Urlaub, who looked to get out of the inning with just one run scoring before a two-out run-scoring wild pitch on a strikeout of Seth Schwindenhammer prolonged the inning.

After Affinito and Lewis both made fielding errors that kept the seventh inning going for the Spinners, Keury De La Cruz's two-run single gave Lowell a 10-3 lead. Lewis led off the eighth with double to extend his hitting streak to 12 games for the Lake Monsters and later scored on a wild pitch.

Four Spinners had two hits in a 13-hit attack for Lowell (14-17) as Vermont pitchers allowed 11 or more hits for the fifth straight game. The only Lake Monster pitcher to not allow a hit was infielder Michael Fabiaschi, who tossed a 1-2-3 eighth inning with one strikeout.

Vermont (16-13), which has lost three straight and six of its last eight games, play a single-game at Lowell on Wednesday night before the series switches to historic Centennial Field for a doubleheader on Thursday starting at 6:05 pm and a single game on Friday.
