Erie SeaWolves News Release
The bats fell silent again on Friday night at The Diamond as the SeaWolves dropped the series opener to the Richmond Flying Squirrels 2-0.
Richmond broke a scoreless tie in the fifth against Erie starter Matt Crouse. Andrew Susac led off with a single and was sacrificed over to second by Ehire Adrianza. With two outs, Javier Herrera singled home Susac for a 1-0 lead.
The Squirrels added to the lead in the seventh. With one out, Susac walked and was doubled over to third by Adrianza. A Ryan Lollis sacrifice fly to right brought home Susac for a 2-0 lead.

Erie has now dropped four straight, their longest losing skid of the season.
