Lancaster Stormers News Release


The Lancaster Barnstormers were one swing away from the most dramatic recovery in club history. Suddenly, the lights went out on the rally.

Down, 12-1, with one out in the eighth, the Barnstormers brought the winning run to the plate with nobody out in the ninth, only to lose, 12-10, to the Lexington Legends on Tuesday evening at Clipper Magazine Stadium.

In the eighth, Anthony Peroni singled home a pair of runs to cut the Lexington lead to 12-3. Jake Hoover dribbler up the first base line was fumbled by pitcher Robert Carson as another run scored. Cleuluis Rondon beat out a single rolled up the third base line to load the bases. Caleb Gindl ripped a double into the right field corner, cutting the lead to 12-6. Blake Alleman followed with a three-run homer against Bryan Quillens. Kelly Dugan tacked on a solo shot as the lead was slashed to 12-10.

Peroni added his fourth hit of the game to lead off the ninth. Pinch runner Dominic DiSabatino advanced to second on a walk to Jake Hoover, giving Lancaster three shots at winning the game. Rondon popped up a bunt for the first out. Gindl flied out to deep left for the second. Still, the Barnstormers had Allemand back to try and win the game.

On the 1-1 pitch, catcher Jose Briceno fired behind DiSabatino, picking him off second to end the night.

Lexington broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the third as Briceno cleared the bases with a double into the right field corner against Zach Smith (1-2). Five more runs scored in the top of the fourth.
