LAST GAME
The Erie SeaWolves snapped their three game losing skid on Wednesday night at UPMC Park, taking down the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-3. Garrett Hill tossed five innings with eight strikeouts to lead the pitching staff. Drew Ward homered for the second consecutive game, and Dillon Dingler collected his fourth home run of the year in the eighth inning. Dane Myers went 2-for-3 at the plate with two doubles and an RBI, extending his hit streak to 13 consecutive games, the longest this season from a SeaWolves batter. Erie was grateful to see a strong outing from Garrett Hill to close his season, as the right-hander went five innings with eight strikeouts, only allowing two runs. Matt Frisbee got the start for Richmond, and allowed the first run of the game on a Drew Ward solo home run in the second inning. Erie pushed ahead by two runs in the fourth inning when Dane Myers doubled to left field. After Richmond had tied the game, Erie took advantage of an error to score two more runs in their half of the fifth, thanks to a two-RBI double by Carpenter, and Dillon Dingler reset the Erie lead to two runs in the eighth inning when he shot a solo home run to left field.
