Greenville Drive News Release


Hagerstown, MD - The Greenville Drive (15-10) offense continued to roll in Monday afternoon's series finale against the Hagerstown Suns (10-14), as a 13-hit performance led to a 9-6 win and clinched a series victory.

Greenville struck early with three runs in the top of the first against Suns starter Connor Bach, as Michael Chavis drove home two with a double and a Bach wild pitch scored another.

The Suns rebounded quickly from there, scoring five runs over the next four innings. Raudy Read laced an RBI single in the first off Drive starter Jalen Beeks (2-0). A three-run third was keyed by an RBI single by Jose Marmolejos-Diaz and a two-run double by Grant DeBruin, and Alec Keller doubled home a run in the fourth to put Hagerstown up 5-3.

A three-run fifth put the Drive on top for good. Rafael Devers and Javier Guerra singled off Mario Sanchez (0-1), and a Hagerstown error plated Devers to cut the lead to one. Mike Meyers then put the Drive ahead with a two-run double to left.

Another two-run double, this one by Mauricio Dubon, tacked on two more runs to the Drive's total in the top of the seventh, and Guerra added an eighth-inning sacrifice fly.

Beeks got the win after working five innings for the Drive. Williams Jerez followed with three innings of relief, allowing only an unearned run, and Kuehl McEachern picked up his second save with a perfect ninth.

Devers led the Greenville offense with three hits on the afternoon. Chavis, Dubon and Meyers added two hits and two RBIs apiece, and Carlos Mesa had two hits as well.

Keller had three hits to pace Hagerstown, while DeBruin, Marmolejos-Diaz, Read and Osvaldo Abreu all chipped in with two hits.

After a day off, the Drive will return to Fluor Field on Wednesday night at 7:05 to begin a three-game series with the Savannah Sand Gnats, affiliate of the New York Mets. RH Jeffry Fernandez (0-3, 4.91) is scheduled to start the opener for the Drive, and the Sand Gnats will counter with RH Corey Oswalt (2-0, 4.84).
