Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release
(Waldorf, MD., May 23, 2015)---While the Blue Crabs scored ten runs last night, their offense was less than stellar tonight in game two, but managed timely hits, and rode the back of the pitching performance from Brian Baker, who went six innings tonight, allowing a run on three hits, to lead the Blue Crabs to a 3-2 victory here tonight at Regency Furniture Stadium.
The Barnstormers got the scoring started with a Brian Cavazos-Galvez solo homerun to left center to make it 1-0. The Blue Crabs answered in the bottom of the inning. With two outs, and runners at runners at first and second, Casey Stevenson ripped a single to right to score Zach Wilson from third to make it 1-1.
Southern Maryland took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth inning. Zach Wilson led off the inning with a single to left centerfield. Two batters later, with one out, Gustavo Molina drove one over the wall in left for a two run homerun to put the Blue Crabs out in front 3-1. It is the second two run homerun for Molina in as many nights.
The Barnstormers out hit the Blue Crabs 6-5, but left six runners on base. LHP Matt Packer took the loss for Lancaster throwing six innings, allowing three runs, on four hits, striking out four, and walking two.
A 2:05 start time is scheduled between these two clubs tomorrow. RHP Shunsuke Watanabe (1-1, 7.71) will start for Lancaster, while RHP Jake Hale (3-1, 3.17) will throw for Southern Maryland.
