Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release


The Blue Crabs battled into the tenth inning Tuesday night at Regency Furniture Stadium before succumbing to the Lancaster Barnstormers 5-4. Southern Maryland has now lost three consecutive home games for the first time this season.

Barnstormer designated hitter Reggie Taylor's solo homer to deep rightfield with two outs in the tenth proved to be the difference. RHP's Kenny Rayborn and Josh Hall tossed three and four innings, respectively and left the game with no decisions. Both teams scored in the second and third innings, but were then held scoreless until the tenth. Lancaster drew first blood in the second with an RBI sac fly by second baseman Lloyd Turner, scoring third baseman Aaron Herr. The Blue Crabs came right back, however, as shortstop Travis Garcia belted his 11th homer of the season, a two run shot, in the bottom of the inning. A three run third for the Barnstormers gave them another short-lived lead.

Centerfielder Michael Woods scored all the way from first on an RBI double by rightfielder Jason Perry to tie the game at two. Lancaster then went ahead when first baseman Jed Morris drove in Perry and Herr with a two RBI double. Garcia's RBI sac fly and an RBI single by centerfielder Jeremy Owens tied the game at four in the bottom of the inning. Owens's base hit proved to be the last for the Crabs until the final inning, as Barnstormer pitching surrendered just three base runners from the fourth through the ninth.

Lancaster RHP Charlie Weatherby (1-0) earned the win, pitching the ninth and tenth, while LHP Bryan Dumesnil dropped to 0-1. The Blue Crabs return to action Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. for game two of this three game series against the Lancaster Barnstormers at Regency Furniture Stadium. RHP Jarrett Santos (5-2, 2.71) will start opposite RHP Jose Sanchez (2-8, 5.40).
