LAKEWOOD, N.J. - A pair of errors in the 10th inning by first baseman Harold Martinez handed the Asheville Tourists the game-winning run in a4-3 BlueClaws loss Wednesday night.

The 'Claws scored in the bottom of the 9th inning using two hit-by-pitches, an error and a wild pitch to tie the game and force extra innings, but it wasn't enough to record a second consecutive come-from-behind victory against Asheville at FirstEnergy Park.

The bullpen was impressive for Lakewood despite Colton Murray picking up the loss. Murray, Kenny Giles and Bryan Morgado pitched 5.2 innings of relief for starting pitcher Mike Nesseth allowing just one earned run on four hits. Murray went two innings and surrendered the game-winning run in the 10th inning for his first loss of the season. His record drops to 0-1.

Lakewood will send Ethan Stewart (0-1, 1.10) against Asheville's Ben Alsup (3-0, 3.79) in Game 3 of the series at FirstEnergy Park. First pitch for Thursday's game is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.
