Waldorf, Maryland - The Somerset Patriots (6-16, 48-44) had a late rally fall short Saturday night in a 5-2 loss to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (12-9, 37-53) at Regency Furniture Stadium.

Southern Maryland struck first on a Josh McAdams RBI single in the bottom of the third inning. The Blue Crabs added three more runs in the fifth inning on a two-run single from Tony Thomas and an RBI fielder's choice from Rubi Silva.

Crabs' starting pitcher Daryl Thompson (W, 11-6) retired the first 16 batters that he faced, carrying a perfect game into the top of the sixth inning. With one out and nobody on base, Gabriel Bracamonte (2) hit a line drive solo home run over the left field fence.

Somerset made it a 4-2 score one inning later. Justin Pacchioli led off the seventh with a base hit and later scored from third base on a wild pitch.

The Patriots loaded the bases in the eighth inning but ultimately came up empty. The Blue Crabs got an insurance run back in the home eighth on a Charlie Varlerio RBI single to extend their lead to 5-2 and top off the scoring.

Mat Latos (S, 13) got the final five outs of the ballgame to earn the save.

David Holmberg (L, 1-3) allowed one run over three innings to suffer the loss.

The Patriots and Blue Crabs conclude their series Sunday afternoon. Southpaw Thomas Dorminy takes the mound for Somerset against Blue Crabs' righty Michael Kelly. First pitch at Regency Furniture Stadium is scheduled for 2:05 p.m.

The 2019 Somerset Patriots Season presented by Ford continues on the road until Friday, August 9th when the Patriots return home to host the Sugar Land Skeeters. For tickets, stop by the box office located at TD Bank Ballpark, call (908) 252-0700, or visit www.somersetpatriots.com.
