Lexington County Blowfish News Release


Lexington Blowfish return home to take on the High Point-Thomasville HiToms

Ryan Hedrick(Presbyterian) would get the start on the mound tonight. He would pitch 5 innings and surrender 5 runs on 7 hits.

In the top of the first HiToms DH Teddy Hoffman would take Hedrick yard on a 2 run blast over the the left field wall. This would extend the lead to 3-0 and the Blowfish would trail the rest of game.

Chas McCormick(Millersville University) would single and steal second base in the third inning. This set up the RBI single by Danny Edgeworth(Mercer University) to get the Blowfish on the board. (3-1)

The HiToms would take a 5-1 lead into the fifth inning, when the Blowfish began to rally.

Jordan Wren led off the inning with a Solo HR over the right field wall. (5-2)

A two out rally would begin with a Brett Auckland(Presbyterian) single, followed by a Grant Miller(Western Michigan) single. Adam Renwick(Clemson) would come on and create a two RBI double. The runs would be removed due to a base runner not touching third before going home. (5-2)

Through a Sac Fly and Sac Bunt the HiToms would get one more run across the plate in the top of the sixth inning. (6-2)

In the seventh the Blowfish would string together base hits by Chas McCormick(Millersville), Danny Edgeworth(Mercer) and Bret Auckland(Presbyterian) to set up a 2 RBI single hit by Grant Miller(Western Michigan). (6-4)

That would turn out to be the final score (6-4) as the Blowfish drop the first on back at home since the two game road stint.

The Blowfish are 18-14 on the season.

Lexington will take on the Savannah Bananas on Friday July 8th at 7:05 pm. It will be Irish Heritage Night at Lexington County Baseball Stadium so wear your green! Firework will follow the game!
