Clearwater Threshers News Release


CLEARWATER, FL - Alirio Ferrebus entered Tuesday's game between the Clearwater Threshers (45-45, 9-15) and the Bradenton Marauders (42-48, 12-12) in the fourth inning, finishing with two hits in a walkoff 3-2 win for the Threshers on Tuesday night at BayCare Ballpark. The Threshers look to make it two in a row when they return for a Wednesday afternoon showdown against the Marauders.

After the first two innings stayed scoreless, Brady Day smacked a triple off Marauders starter Matt Ager on the second pitch of the bottom of the third inning. He scored on a groundout by Raider Tello to open the scoring in favor of the Threshers. The Marauders responded quickly, tying the game on an RBI single in the top of the fourth. They took the lead on a leadoff home run to start the top of the fifth inning.

With one out in the eighth inning, Raider Tello picked up a single off Marauders reliever Magdiel Cotto. As he attempted to steal second, Dante Nori grounded to second base, but the ball was mishandled by Yordany De Los Santos, allowing Tello to advance to third. On the very next pitch, John Spikerman sent a base hit up the middle to plate Tello and tied the game at two.

Both teams put baserunners aboard in the ninth, but neither squad scored to send the game into extra innings. Bradenton went down in order in the top of the tenth inning to keep the score tied at two. After the first out in the bottom of the tenth, Cole Roberts, who started the frame on second, advanced to third on a wild pitch by Bradenton reliever Jose Garces. Shortly after, Ferrebus delivered a single to left, easily plating Roberts and sealing a walkoff win for the Threshers at 3-2.
