Iorg Walkoff Gives Erie 13-Inning Win
Published on July 27, 2010 under Eastern League (EL1)
Erie SeaWolves News Release
It took 12 and a half innings before either team scored a run on Tuesday night at Jerry Uht Park but the SeaWolves prevailed on a walkoff home run for a 2-0 win over the Altoona Curve.
Both starting pitchers, Altoona's Bryan Morris and Erie's Brayan Villarreal were stellar in taking no-decisions. Morris went five allowing two hits with no walks and eight strikeouts. Villarreal, in his second Double-A start, went 7.2 innings, allowing four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts.
The only threat against Villarreal came in the eighth inning when Miles Durham led off with a double. Erie got out of the threat as Villarreal retired the next two and Zach Simons finished off the inning.
Simons would stay in the game and throw 2.1 innings of one-hit ball allowing a walk with two strikeouts.
In the 11th, Erie turned the ball over to Lester Oliveros. He shut down the side in order in the 11th with two strikeouts and a lineout. Altoona got two baserunners on against Oliveros in the 12th with one out, but he worked through the jam sending the game into the 13th.
Altoona threatened against Cory Hamilton in the top of the 13th. With two outs, Anthony Norman singled and stole second. Deik Scram made a shoe string catch on a fly ball off the bat of Chase d'Arnaud to send the game to the bottom of the 13th with no score.
In the bottom of the 13th, Altoona turned the ball over to reliever Derek Hankins. With one out, Alden Carrithers connected on a single up the middle putting the wining run on base for Cale Iorg. With Iorg hitting, Carrithers stole second, his second steal of the game. Iorg then crushed a game-winning, two-run home run giving the SeaWolves a 2-0 win in 13. The home run for Iorg was his first since June 22 against Trenton.
The walkoff was Erie's second against Altoona and it snapped a five-game losing streak to the Curve. The 'Wolves first win of the season came on a walk-off home run by Max St. Pierre against the Curve on April 18.
Erie and Altoona meet in the rubber game of the three game series on Wednesday afternoon at Jerry Uht Park. Righty Thad Weber (7-10, 3.85 ERA) takes the mound for Erie against lefty Justin Wilson (7-6, 3.15 ERA).
