Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


FISHKILL, NY --- Seth Frankoff tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings with no walks and 10 strikeouts to lead the Vermont Lake Monsters to a 5-0 shutout victory over the Hudson Valley Renegades in New York-Penn League action Tuesday night at Dutchess County Stadium.

The 10 strikeouts are the most for a Lake Monsters pitcher since P.J. Dean struckout 10 Auburn Doubledays on August 11, 2008 at historic Centennial Field, while it is also the most strikeouts for a Vermont pitcher in a road game since Benji DeQuin struckout a team-record 13 Cardinals at New Jersey on August 16, 2000.

Frankoff (4-3) struckout one batter in the first, two in the second and one in the fourth inning before striking out three batters in both the fifth and sixth innings. He retired the first eight batters he faced and allowed just two hits, a two-out single in both the third and fifth innings, before leaving the game with one out in the seventh after allowing his third hit and then hitting a batter.

Vermont jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning as Sean Jamieson led off the game with a double and scored on a throwing error by second baseman Jonathan Koscso on a Chih-Fang Pan bunt single. After a walk to Bobby Crocker, Nick Rickles lined a single to left scoring Pan with the second run. The Lake Monsters added three more runs in the fourth on five hits, including one-out RBI singles from Pan and Crocker before a Rickles RBI double. 

Ryan Hughes relieved Frankoff in the seventh and allowed a single to load the bases before working out of the jam with a forceout at home and lineout to center ending the inning. Hughes then worked a scoreless eighth and Omar Duran a scoreless ninth as Vermont recorded just its second shutout victory of the season.

Jacob Partridge (2-6) allowed five runs on seven hits with four walks in just 3 1/3 innings to take the loss for Hudson Valley (30-33), which has lost three of the first four in the six-game series against the Lake Monsters.

Vermont (33-29) has won five of its last six and eight of last 10 to move 2 1/2 games in front of Connecticut, a 3-2 loser at Aberdeen Tuesday, for first-place in the Stedler Division. The Lake Monsters are at Hudson Valley Wednesday and Thursday before Vermont heads to Connecticut for single games on Friday and Saturday.
