Fielders Drop Defense Driven Game in Edmonton

July 29, 2011 - North American League (NAmL)
Lake County Fielders News Release


Edmonton, AB - July 28, 2011- The Lake County Fielders (27-27) arrived in Edmonton to being a four game series against their division rivals on Thursday evening. In a game that consisted of very little offense thanks to stellar pitching performances from either side, it was a Fielders defensive mishap that allowed the only run of the game to cross the plate.

Fielders starter, Julio Medina, threw seven strong innings for the Fielders giving up just four hits while striking out three and forcing Capitals batters to hit into three double plays in the first five innings. Starting shortstop Brad Augustin proved to be the star for the Fielders as he connected for two of the seven hits and teamed up with Brad Payne on two of the three double plays.

For the Capitals, Jorge Vasquez entered in relief of Dallas Buck who went three innings and surrendered four hits. Vazquez shut down any possible threat the Fielders posed as he threw six innings while giving up just one hit and striking out six. The Fielders got a break in the seventh when a one hour rain delay forced Vazquez from the game but unfortunately, the Fielders bats couldn't come alive after the pitching change as they only were able to collect two hits in the remaining three innings. A defensive miscue by the Fielders first baseman in the fifth inning was the only help the Capitals would need as one run was enough to seal the 1-0 victory.

The Fielders look to pick up a win in game two of the four game series tonight in Edmonton beginning at 7:05PM MT (8:05PM CT). You can listen to all the action like on 1220 AM WKRS, 1220wkrs.com, or at fieldersbaseball.com
