Charleston Dirty Birds News Release


Lexington, KY (April 22, 2008) - Brent Brewer knocked in five of West Virginia's eight runs on Tuesday night at Applebee's Park as the West Virginia Power took advantage of five Lexington errors to defeat the Legends 8-2.

Brewer snapped a scoreless tie in the top of the second on a clutch two-out, three-run triple. He struck again two innings later with a two-run double and scored later in the fourth on Jonathan Lucroy's sacrifice fly. The Legends scored their only two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Jonathan Fixler drove in the first run on a double and scored later in the inning on Nick Moresi's base-hit.

The Power added two more runs. In the seventh Curt Rindal scored on Ronald Ramirez's throwing error and in the eighth Zelous Wheeler walked with the bases loaded to bring in another insurance run. Zach Braddock began the game for West Virginia, making his first start since June 15th of last year. Braddock threw 44 pitches in two scoreless innings and didn't allow a hit while walking two and striking out three.

Nick Tyson (1-1) tossed five strong innings of relief. He gave up a pair of runs on seven hits and struck out two to get the victory. Sergio Severino (1-1) left the game after throwing 75 pitches in three innings and allowed three runs on three hits to get tagged for the loss.

The Power improved to 6-13 with the win and the Legends fell to 6-13 with the loss. Eight of the starting nine for West Virginia reached base more than once and all nine reached at least once. The Power are 3-1 over their last four games and they've outscored their opponents 39-17 during that stretch.

The Power will finish their four game series with the Lexington Legends at Applebee's Park on Wednesday night. Right hander R.J. Seidel (0-1, 5.56) will get the start for the Power and the Legends will counter with right hander Colt Adams (1-1, 4.05). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
