Jamestown Jammers News Release
BURLINGTON, Vt. - A pitcher's duel broke out at Centennial Field for the second day in a row, but the Jamestown Jammers found themselves on the right end of the scoreboard Sunday as they beat the Vermont Lake Monsters, 3-1.
Jose Urena earned his third win of the season after going 5.2 innings, giving up ï¬Âve hits, walking one, allowing one earned run and striking out six. Relievers Brad Mincey and Miguel Mejia didn't allow a base runner in 3.1 innings of work with Mejia earning his ï¬Ârst save.
The Jammers got on the board in the second inning thanks to a leadoff walk by Josh Adams. He moved to third on a single by Jobduan Morales and scored on a single by Kentrell Dewitt that sent Morales to third. Nate Woods proceeded to bounce into a double play, but Morales scored from third to make it 2-0.
In the third inning, Ryan Goetz advanced all the way to third on a ï¬Âelding error by center ï¬Âelder Aaron Shipman, and Pedro Mendoza lined a single to right to plate the third and ï¬Ânal run for the Jammers.
The Lake Monsters ï¬Ânally got on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning as Urena began to tire. Sean Jamieson led off with a double and moved to third on Chad Oberacker's bunt single. A ground out would get Oberacker out at second and score the only run of the game for the Lake Monsters. Dusty Robinson lined a single to center to put the tying run at ï¬Ârst with two outs; however, he was the last batter to reach for Vermont as Mincey came on in relief and got a ground out to end the frame.
In his ï¬Ârst game since coming off the disabled list, Mendoza led the offense with two hits and a RBI. Jobduan Morales also had a pair of singles as the Jammers collected seven hits on the afternoon without an extra-base hit.
Tyler Vail was the hard-luck loser for Vermont. He allowed ï¬Âve hits, three runs and two walks with three strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Offensively, Jamieson picked up another three hits with a double and the only run scored.
The win vaults Jamestown (21-16) back into a ï¬Ârst-place tie with Mahoning Valley following the Scrappers loss to Hudson Valley.
The two teams will wrap up the series Monday at 7:05 p.m. in Vermont.
