Lancaster Stormers News Release


Trayvon Robinson belted a pair of homers on Thursday evening to lead the Lancaster Barnstormers to a 17-12 victory over the York Revolution in the finale of a three-game series.

With the win, the Barnstormers grabbed a 9-7 lead in the 2021 War of the Roses. All teams in the North are 1-1 in the second half.

The night totaled to 29 runs, 31 hits, 14 walks, three hit batters, five homers, 13 pitchers and 385 pitches thrown.

Most of the action came in the first five innings.

After Lancaster starter Augie Sylk squirmed out of a bases loaded jam in the first, the Barnstormers got to Eduardo Rivera (2-1) for a pair of runs in their half of the inning. Caleb Gindl opened with a single and took third on a double by Blake Allemand. Alejandro De Aza picked up the first run with a ground out, and Kelly Dugan made it 2-0 with a base hit to right.

Three more scored in the Lancaster second as Allemand drove in newcomer Jake Hoover with a single to right and a double by De Aza added two more.

York reached Sylk for three in the top of the third before he was replaced by Francisco Mendoza, and the 'Stormers countered with four in the bottom of the inning. Two scored on a double down the right field line by Hoover, another came home on a wild pitch, and Gindl's single to right center gave Lancaster a 9-3 lead.

Robinson's first blast opened the bottom of the fourth. Anthony Peroni and Cleuluis Rondon delivered RBI doubles as the Barnstormers extended the lead to 12-3.

York, which has overcome seven and 10 run deficits to defeat the Barnstormers this season, nearly erased the nine-run Lancaster cushion.

Francisco Mendoza picked up six outs on five batters in his first two innings of relief, but Jack Kenley and Nellie Rodriguez homered around a Melky Mesa single to start the visitors' fifth. Then, Mendoza ran into a string of rotten luck as Carlos Castro and Osmy Gregorio each singled despite breaking a bat. Pinch hitter Tyler Hill rolled a grounder to short, but Rondon slipped and fell upon making the play, allowing Hill to reach on a single. James Harris greeted Garrett Granitz with a two-run single to cut the lead to 12-8. Kenley drove an RBI double to right, and Mesa singled home a pair to bring York within a run before Rodriguez struck out to end the inning.

LeDarious Clark may have iced the win for Lancaster, delivering a pinch hit, two-run triple into the right field corner with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. He scored on a single by Peroni to advance the lead to 15-11.

Robinson produced the final two Lancaster markers with his second homer. Kenley homered again in the eighth to produce the final score.

Brent Teller (2-0) pitched a perfect sixth inning with two strikeouts to earn the win.

The Barnstormers open a three-game series against Southern Maryland on Friday evening at 6:30. Nile Ball (1-2) will take the mound for Lancaster. Fans may tune into the Barnstormers YouTube Channel beginning at 6:25.
