Barnstormers Survive Rough First, Bury Skeeters

June 6, 2019 - Atlantic League (AtL)
Lancaster Stormers News Release


Four batters into Thursday night's game at Clipper Magazine Stadium, it looked like it could be a long night for John Anderson and the Lancaster Barnstormers.

Instead, it was the only down moment for the home club.

A trio of home runs by the middle of the order and a four-hit night by Dan Gamache boosted the Barnstormers and Anderson to a 13- 3 victory over the Sugar Land Skeeters in the rubber game of a three-game series.

Anderson (4-1) walked two and allowed a three-run homer by Denis Phipps as the Skeeters jumped out to the 3-0 lead. The left-hander, whose only loss of the season came at Sugar Land's hands on May 8, settled down and allowed only three singles and a walk over the remainder of his six-inning stint.

Lancaster came back with a vengeance against Lucas Irvine (1-2). With one out in the home first, Gamache drilled a double into right center. Caleb Gindl walked to fill in first. Then, came the turning point of the game. Joe Terdoslavich rapped a ground ball to first baseman Chris Colabello. Sugar Land got the force at second on Gindl, but the relay throw back to first was mishandled by Irvine as a run scored. K.C. Hobson and Josh Bell followed with booming homers to right as Lancaster suddenly led, 4-3.

A Gindl sac fly stretched the lead to 5-3 in the second, and the Barnstormers really went to town in the third. With two outs, Greg Golson doubled to right. Anderson De La Rosa singled him home and took second on the throw to the plate. Darian Sandford lined a single off Irvine's leg, and Michael Martinez, after a steal of second, chased the starter with a two-run single into center. Mark Lowe entered play and yielded singles to Gamache and Gindl before Terdoslavich slammed a three-run homer off the right field tents for the seventh straight hit and a 12-3 lead.

Gamache's fourth hit, an RBI double to right center alley, came in the fifth and finished the night's scoring.

Lancaster heads to New Britain to start a grueling 17-day stretch that will feature 19 games and trips to Texas and North Carolina. It all begins on Friday evening in New Britain as the Barnstormers send Kyle Davies (3-1) against New Britain lefty Christian Friedrich (2-1). Fans may tune into the Barnstormers YouTube Channel, beginning at 6:15.

NOTES: Martinez extended his hitting streak to ten games with a pair of hits...Hobson and Bell hit the first pair of consecutive home runs for the Barnstormers this season...The seven-run third tied the biggest inning by the Barnstormers this season...Gamache had his second four-hit game of the year...He has 15 doubles, tying him for the league lead...Lancaster has scored 27 runs in Anderson's last two starts...The win moved Lancaster to within 7 1/2 games of the Skeeters in the Freedom Division.
