Florence Y'alls News Release
FLORENCE, KY - The Florence Y'alls (47-33) fell to Lake Erie 11-2 on Wednesday night for their first multi-run loss since the All-Star break. The loss also marks their first home loss since July 21st, ending a 10-game home winning streak.
Evan Webster toed the rubber for Florence, but Lake Erie had him figured out from the beginning. Webster allowed a run in the first, three in the second, five in the third, and two in the fourth. Down 11-1, Webster returned for the fifth and picked up his first scoreless inning, allowing the bullpen to rest a little longer. The Louisville alum was knocked around for a season-high 11 runs on 14 hits across five innings of work.
Florence evened the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first with an RBI single from Brett Blomquist to bring home Milo Rushford. The scoring got out of hand quickly, and the bats followed in motion. The Y'alls next run came in the eighth on a Dillon Baker RBI single to score Garrett Broussard.
On the bright side, Florence received two shutout innings from Oscar Serratos in his team debut and two more scoreless frames from Max Whitesell in his return from the IL. The Y'alls also picked up a three-hit night from Rushford and a two-hit night from Cole Brannen in his first game back as a Florence Y'all since 2023.
Florence and Lake Erie finish off the three-game series tomorrow night on Thirsty Thursday at Thomas More Stadium. RHP Nathan Lawson takes the hill for the Y'alls to oppose Lake Erie's RHP Alex Garbrick. First pitch is set for 6:54 PM.
