IL1 Rochester Red Wings

Granite "Plates" Winning Run over Potatoes

June 21, 2018 - International League (IL1)
Rochester Red Wings News Release


The Rochester Plates beat the Syracuse Salt Potatoes 2-1 in 10 innings Thursday night at Frontier Field, the first walk-off win of the season. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Yankees) open a three-game set here Friday night; the gates open early at 5:30 p.m. for a pre-game concert by Me and the Boyz, with fireworks following the game.

The Plates got an impressive outing from starting pitcher Zack Littell, as he did not let up a hit through the first four innings.

In the bottom of the fifth, Rochester got their first base hit off of Syracuse starter Austin Voth through a double from LaMonte Wade. After three straight outs, Wade was left stranded in scoring position.

Tyler Duffey came on in relief of Littell in the seventh inning. Littell went 6.2 innings, allowing five hits while walking one and striking out six. He threw 98 pitches, 63 were for strikes.

In the bottom of the seventh, Jake Cave led off with a single issued by Voth. After a one-out walk to Wade, Voth was relieved after 6.1 innings. Voth allowed one earned run on two hits while walking one and striking out six. He threw for 92 pitches, 60 for strikes. With a single from Willians Astudillo immediately following the pitching change, the bases were loaded for the Plates. Kennys Vargas grounded into what appeared to an inning-ending double play with Astudillo being called out on a tag running to second base. A spirited argument by Astudillo and manager Joel Skinner followed, and after the umpires conferred the call was reversed. Astudillo was ruled safe at second, with Cave scoring on Vargas' groundout which gave Rochester a late 1-0 lead. Syracuse manager Randy Knorr immediately came out to argue the reversal, and was ejected by third base umpire Shane Livensparger.

During the ninth, the Salt Potatoes took advantage of a lead-off walk issued by Duffey, a single, and a game-tying fielder's choice by Irving Falu to make it 1-1.

Duffey worked 2.1 innings of relief, allowing a hit, a run, and two walks while striking out three. Nick Anderson took over on the mound to start the 10th inning, and escaped a two on two out scoring threat by striking out Jose Marmolejos.

In the Plates' half of the 10th, starting with pinch-runner Leonardo Reginatto at second base, Gregorio Petit put down a sacrifice bunt that put Reginatto at third base with one out. Zack Granite lined a single up the middle on a 2-2 pitch from Josh Edgin, giving the Plates the walk-off win.

Byron Buxton went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts and also reached base when hit by a pitch, as part of his rehab assignment.

THIS DAY IN RED WINGS HISTORY

1984 - Mark McGwire went 2-for-5 with a home run and 2 RBI, leading the U.S. olympic team to an 8-1 defeat of the Red Wings in an exhibition game at Silver Stadium. Orioles number 1 draft pick John Hoover got the win for the olympians, allowing one run in five innings.

THIS DAY IN INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE HISTORY

2005 - Durham catcher Pete LaForest slams three home runs at Pawtucket as the Bulls defeat the Red Sox 9-4. LaForest becomes the first Bull to homer three times in a single game since the club joined the International League in 1998. After hitting a two-run blast in the 2nd inning, LaForest follows it up with solo shot in the 6th and another in the 8th. The next day LaForest would be named to the International League All-Star Team for the 2005 Triple-A All-Star Game.

BORN ON THIS DAY

1979- Chris Pratt (American Actor), 1982- Prince William (Born in London, England), 1985- Lana Del Rey (American Singer/Songwriter)

IT HAPPENED THIS DAY

1950 - Joe DiMaggio gets his 2,000th hit, a seventh-inning single off the Indians Chick Pieretti, as the Yanks win 8-2. DiMaggio joins Luke Appling and Wally Moses as the only active players with 2,000 or more hits.

1964 - On Father's Day at Shea Stadium, Jim Bunning pitches the first perfect game (excluding Don Larsen's 1956 World Series effort and Harvey Haddix's 1959 extra-inning loss) since Charlie Robertson's on April 30, 1922. He also becomes the first pitcher to win no-hitters in both leagues and drives in 2 runs as Philadelphia beats the Mets 6-0. Gus Triandos becomes the first catcher to catch a no-hitter in each league. The Mets don't fare much better in the nightcap as rookie Rick Wise wins his first game and gives up just 3 hits for an 8-2 win.

1986 - Bo Jackson, college football's Heisman Trophy winner in 1985 and the first pick (by Tampa Bay) in the NFL draft, stuns observers nationwide by signing with the Kansas City Royals instead.

NUMBER ONE SONG ON THIS DAY

1966- Beatles, "Paperback Writer", 1984- Duran Duran, "The Reflex", 1993- Janet Jackson, "That's the Way Love Goes"
