Hudson Leads Spinners To Win, 9-5
July 26, 2014 - New York-Penn League (NYPL)
Lowell Spinners News Release
LOWELL, MASS. - After a 27 minute delay to the start of the game, the Lowell Spinners came out swinging, sending 11 batters to the plate as part of an eight run first inning. Bryan Hudson had two hits in the first inning as part of a three-hit game, leading the Spinners to their second straight win over the Hudson Valley Renegades, 9-5, Saturday evening at LeLacheur Park.
Lowell (19-23) poured it on against Hudson Valley's Jose Alonzo in the first inning. Hudson led off the winning with a single and stole second base with one out, advancing to third when Chris Talley's throw went into centerfield. It was work for nothing however, as Sam Travis followed with a towering two-run home run, to put the Spinners up, 2-0. Jordan Betts extended his hitting streak to nine-games with a double and Mike Meyers followed with a single to move Betts into scoring position. After the Spinners plated a pair of additional runs Hudson came through with a bases clearing triple, giving the Spinners an 8-0 lead.
Hudson Valley (29-13) would chip into the lead in the fourth inning. After a single off Heri Quevedo's backside led off the inning, Bralin Jackson's single nearly decapitated the Spinners starter as it made its way up the middle. One batter later Jace Conrad launched a three-run home run on a fastball Quevedo left up in the zone over the new Sal's Pizza sign in right-field, cutting the Spinners' lead to 8-3.
The Renegades inched closer in the sixth inning, chasing Quevedo from the game after a one-out triple by Jackson and Grant Kay walk. Edwar Garcia came out of the bullpen and allowed a 2-run double, escaping a bases loaded jam to hold the lead at 8-5.
The Spinners added an insurance run in the sixth after Dubon led off the inning with a single. A wild pitch moved Dubon to second and a sacrifice bunt advanced him to third before Hudson's second triple of the game brought him in to extend the lead to 9-5.
That is where the score would remain as Oscar Perez and Carlos Pinales combined for three hitless innings of relief to close out the win.
It was a historic day for Hudson, who became the first player with two hits in one inning since Tim Roberson (8/19/2011 vs. Batavia) and first player with two triples in the same game since Matt Van Der Bosch (8/28/2004 at Oneonta). On the day, Hudson was 4-for-5 with two runs scored, a stolen base and four RBI. Meyers and Dubon each had two-hit games in the Spinners seventh straight game with 10-or-more hits.
Quevedo (4-3, 9.00) picked up his third straight win, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk, striking out one. Garcia allowed the two runners inherited from Quevedo to score, but pitched out of his own bases loaded jam without allowing a run in his two-thirds of an inning. Perez was flawless in his two innings, striking out one before Pinales closed out the win in a non-save situation.
The homestand continues Sunday afternoon on "Bark in the Park Day" at LeLacheur Park when they welcome in the Brooklyn Cyclones. Reed Reilly (0-1, 5.19) gets the ball for a 5:05 first pitch.
