Lancaster Stormers News Release


Until the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs went to a position player to pitch, they could not seem to retire the Lancaster Barnstormers on Saturday evening.

Lancaster used 11 hits and seven walks issued by the first two pitchers to build a 13-2 lead en route to a 14-4 victory over Southern Maryland Saturday evening at Clipper Magazine Stadium.

Play was halted at the seventh inning stretch due to an approaching heavy thunderstorm.

Joe Terdoslavich went 3-for-3 with three RBI in the onslaught while Josh Bell added three singles, and K.C. Hobson went 2-for-3 with a homer and five RBI. Lancaster sent 30 men to the plate over 3 2/3 innings against newcomer Brett Lee (0-1) and reliever Evan De Luca, scoring in each of the first four innings.

Josh McAdams, an outfielder and corner infielder, retired seven of the eight batters he faced, only allowing the Hobson homer leading off the fifth.

The beneficiary of the attack was John Anderson, who lasted the first six innings, allowing six hits and four runs. Most of the Southern Maryland offense came as the result of two home runs by first baseman Jose Julio-Ruiz.

Doubles by Caleb Gindl and Terdoslavich produced Lancaster's first run. Bell reached on an infield single, and Hobson drove home the second run on a force play grounder to first.

The Barnstormers piled on six more runs, two on a double by Anderson De La Rosa, in the second and four in the third.

Lancaster will host Southern Maryland in the rubber game of the three-game series Sunday afternoon at 1:00. Kyle Davies (2-1) will make the start for the Barnstormers against right-hander Daryl Thompson (2-3). Fans may tune into Blue Ridge 11 or the Barnstormers YouTube Channel, starting at 1:00.

NOTES: The game was held up in the bottom of the third when home plate umpire Tim Detwiler was forced to leave after a foul tip from Devon Torrence knocked his mask off...Torrence also was knocked down and stunned after a collision with Julio-Ruiz at first on the same at bat...Terdoslavich would have driven home a run in each of the first four innings, a baseball rarity, except that manager Ross Peeples held Torrence at third base on a single in the fourth...Hobson took sole possession of second place on the Barnstormers career home run list with his 62nd...Terdoslavich is now batting .400 at home.
