Lake County Captains News Release


(Eastlake, OH) – In a game where two teams combined for four errors, three wild pitches, two hit by pitches, and one balk, the Columbus Catfish avoided a four-game sweep by scoring three runs in the fifth and four in the sixth to defeat the Lake County Captains by a score of 8-6 in South Atlantic League action Thursday night at Eastlake Ballpark.

The Catfish (19-14) scored the first run of the ballgame in the third inning without recording a hit, as Dominique Laurin was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a sacrifice, and then went to third on an errant throw by Captains starter Ed Mujica. Laurin scored on a sacrificy fly by Chin-lung Hu, who hit tallied eight hits in the four-game series against Lake County.

The Captains (16-18) took the lead in the bottom of the fourth when Javier Herrera blasted a three-run home run to the left field bleachers. Two at-bats later Micah Schilling ripped a solo home run to right, and the Captains led 4-1.

Jereme Milons tripled in the fifth to score two runs and cut the Columbus deficit to one run. He then scored on a wild pitch from Mujica to tie the game at four. Mujica lasted five innings and gave up four runs on four hits, with no walks and four strikeouts. He threw a wild pitch and hit two batters.

Brandon Pinckney gave the Captains the lead back in the bottom half of the fifth when he doubled to second, then took third and eventually scored on two separate wild pitches.

A sloppy top of the sixth inning culminated with four Catfish runs on three hits off reliever Aaron Laffey (0-4). The Captains defense committed two errors in the inning and Laffey also hit a batter as the Catfish snatched an 8-5 lead. Pinckney hit his third home run of the season in the 7th to cut the Catfish lead to 8-6, but the Captains could not rally in the ninth and suffer their first loss in the current 8-game homestand.

Miguel Carvajal (1-0) earned the win for Columbus, as he surrendered one run and two hits in one and a third innings pitched.

The defending SAL champion Rome Braves come to town tomorrow as part of a four-game set that continues through the weekend and ends with an 11:05 a.m. start on Monday. Tomorrow it will be Nick Pesco (0-1, 5.00) taking the hill for Lake County against Jo Jo Reyes (0-2, 5.28) of Rome.
