Horrell Fires Another CG in Defeat, Revs Lower Magic Number to 5

York Revolution News Release


(Lancaster, Pa.): Michael Horrell fired a second consecutive complete game, this time in defeat as the York Revolution fell to the Lancaster Stormers, 6-4 on a sweltering Tuesday evening at Penn Medicine Park. Despite the loss, the Revs (33-19) maintain a seven-game lead for first place in the North Division with 11 games remaining in the season's first half, as their magic number shrinks to five to wrap up a first half title.

The Revs opened the scoring in the top of the third. Sparked by Bubba Alleyne's hustle infield single, William Simoneit drilled a two-run homer to right center for his team-leading ninth of the year. Two batters later, Jalen Miller cracked a solo shot to left, his eighth, and the Revs held a 3-0 lead.

Lancaster answered in the bottom half as Dave Matthews lined a solo homer to right and Evan Alexander launched a solo shot of his own to right center, slashing the lead to 3-2.

The Stormers made the Revs pay for a pair of defensive mistakes in the fifth and sixth.

Danny Amaral reached second base to start the fifth on a throwing error by Jeffrey Wehler at shortstop. It appeared that Horrell was on his way to escaping unscathed, but time was granted to Alexander just prior to a 3-2 pitch down the middle. Given new life, Alexander nailed a two-run homer to right, his second long ball of the game, putting Lancaster on top 4-3 with a pair of unearned runs.

Lancaster took advantage of another miscue in the sixth as Mason Martin lofted what appeared to be a pop out to start the inning, but miscommunication allowed the ball to land between Wehler and left fielder Ryan Higgins for a leadoff double. After advancing on a ground out, Martin scored on Nick Lucky's single to right with the infield in. Amaral added a two-out RBI double down the right field line as Lancaster scored its sixth unanswered run.

Simoneit and Higgins hammered two-out doubles to left to produce a run in the seventh off setup man Scott Engler, but Lancaster's Phillip Diehl and Cody Stashak (second save) handled scoreless frames to finish it off.

Horrell (2-1) worked all eight innings, a new career-high, for the Revs in defeat on just 97 pitches (70 strikes). He struck out a career-best seven and walked none.

Lancaster starter Noah Skirrow (6-3) retired his final nine batters and struck out eight in six innings to earn the win.

Notes: Horrell has struck out 18 and walked none over his first three starts of the season. The Revs have dropped three consecutive games, tying a season-high, for just the third time all year and first time in a month. Lancaster takes a 4-3 lead in this year's War of the Roses series. Simoneit has homered in back-to-back games and has hit seven long balls in his last 19 games played. The contest took just two hours and 10 minutes to complete, the Revs' quickest nine-inning game of the season (by 19 minutes).

Up Next: York righty Foster Pace (5-1, 4.24) faces Lancaster lefty Keylan Killgore (2-4, 4.05) on Wednesday at 6:45 p.m. Revs fans can catch the action live on SportsRadio 98.9 FM & 1350 WOYK, 989woyk.com, The New WOYK app, and FloBaseball.TV beginning at 6:25 p.m.
