Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release
(Staten Island) Mitch Lambson set the bar high for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs starting pitchers after he went 8.1 innings on Friday and only allowed one run against the FerryHawks as his team won 2-1. Daryl Thompson was looking to have his own strong performance, and the offense looked to bounce back.
With Fox Semones standing at second, Braxton Lee hit one down the third base line that barely stayed foul and turned into an RBI double to give the Crabs a 1-0 lead in the first. A few frames later, Angel Aguilar lifted a fly ball into left field to give the Hawks their first run of the game and tie it.
The top of the fourth was eventful; a pitch hit David Harris, he stole second and scored after two wild pitches. With Ian Yetsko at third base and two away, Ryan Haug hit a hard grounder through the left side that was gloved by the shortstop Jeff Wehler, he tossed it across the diamond, and Haug slid headfirst to ensure that he got a hit and an RBI. The Blue Crabs had recaptured the lead.
K.C. Hobson led off the top of the sixth for the Crabs and sent it deep over the right field wall as it traveled 417 feet, close to making it into the Harbor. Michael Baca added a second run with a frozen rope into center field to drive in Ryan Haug from second. That would be the final run scored as the Blue Crabs took the win, 5-1.
Daryl Thompson was electric in his start; he went 7.2 innings, allowing just one run, and struck out three. The win has him at 95 career wins, and the three strikeouts move him to 994 career strikeouts. Isaac Mattson was the pitcher to shut the door, finishing off the game with a strikeout of Roldani Baldwin.
The Warriors of Waldorf have now won 18 of their first 30 games, still sitting in second place, just a half-game back of the York Revolution. Tomorrow's game starts at 1:00; the left-hander Sandro Cabrera will try and pull the trifecta of strong starts in this series and get the sweep of Staten Island. Crustacean Nation can tune into FloSports and not miss any of the action.
