LAST GAME
The SeaWolves failed to hang on to a two-run lead in the ninth inning as they fell to the Richmond Flying Squirrels by a 7-6 final on Friday night at The Diamond. Erie took the lead in the second when Josh Lester homered to center off of Squirrels starter Matt Frisbee for a 1-0 lead. Richmond tied the game against Erie starter Reese Olson in the bottom of the second. Vince Fernandez walked with one out and later scored on a Simon Whiteman single. In the top of the fifth, Lester came through again with a solo home run to left-center, his 21st overall, and third multi-homer game with Erie in just his last four games. Richmond tied the game later against Brad Bass, and the teams exchanged home runs in the sixth, including one by Chris Proctor. Erie plated three runs in the eighth, largely thanks to an error, to lead 6-4. Gerson Moreno took the ninth inning, but walked three batters and hit two more, allowing the game to be tied, and Richmond finished the night with a walk-off single by Diego Rincones.
