Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


JAMESTOWN, NY --- Kevin Kruase was 2-for-4 with two home runs, including a three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning and a two-run shot in the eighth as the Jamestown Jammers rallied from a 2-1 defict for a 6-2 New York-Penn League victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters on Sunday evening at Diethrick Park.

Vermont starter Jose Torres allowed just one run on two hits over the first five innings, but left after allowing a one-out walk and striking out the last batter he faced for the second out of the sixth. Lee Sosa replaced Torres and promply gave up a single and then the three-run homer to Krause to give the Jammers a 4-2 lead. Reliever Daniel Gossett took over for Vermont in the seventh and retired the first five batters he faced before giving up a two-out single and then Krause's second home run of the night and fifth of the season for 6-2 Jamestown advantage.

After the Jammers had taken a 1-0 lead in the third inning on a two-out Francisco Aponte double and Jordan Luplow RBI single, the only two hits allowed by Torres, Vermont took the 2-1 lead with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Yairo Munoz led off the fourth with a single, advanced to second on a groundout and moved to third on a wild pitch before beating the throw home on a Joe Bennie grounder to shortstop to tie the game 1-1.

Jose Brizuela then gave the Lake Monsters the 2-1 advantage with a one-out solo home run in the fifth inning. Brizuela was 2-for-2 with a walk to go along with his second home run of the year for Vermont. Gabriel Santana followed the Brizuela homer with a bunt single, but that would be the last for the Lake Monsters until a ninth-inning leadoff single for John Nogowski. Vermont (11-19) has now had the lead at some point in 12 of their 19 losses, including a 2-1 advantage in six of the defeats.

Vermont will look to salvage the third of the three-game series at Jamestown on Monday as the Lake Monsters wrap up their six-game roadtrip. After an off day on Tuesday, Vermont returns to historic Centennial Field for a six-game homestand beginning on Wednesday against the State College Spikes.
