Lake Monsters Rally With 4-Run 7th For 7-4 Win At Auburn

Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


AUBURN, NY --- Dusty Robinson and Xavier Macklin both had two-run doubles as the Vermont Lake Monsters scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning for a come-from-behind 7-4 New York-Penn League victory over the Auburn Doubledays on Thursday night at Falcon Park.

After Auburn had scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 4-3 lead, the Doubledays helped start the Lake Monsters seventh-inning rally by committing back-to-back fielding errors to open the frame. Then with the bases loaded and one out, Robinson lined a double to left field scoring Michael Fabiaschi and Chih-Fang Pan for a 5-4 lead. 

Another Auburn walk, one of nine by Doubleday pitchers, reloaded the bases before Macklin snapped an 0-for-30 slump with a two-run double to left for a 7-4 Vermont lead. Five of the Lake Monsters eight hits in the game went for doubles, including back-to-back doubles from Bobby Crocker and Nick Rickles in the second inning. 

Jeff Urlaub (2-0) allowed two inherited runners to score on RBI singles in the sixth, but also struckout four in 1 2/3 innings to earn the victory, while Tanner Peters walked two and hit a batter in the ninth but kept the Doubledays off the scoreboard for his 10th save. Peters is just the fifth Vermont pitcher in the team's 18-year history to reach double figures in saves.

Former Lake Monsters Russell Moldenhauer (0-for-3) and Justin Miller (0-for-4) both went hitless for Auburn (32-22), while former Vermont second baseman Hendry Jimenez was 1-for-3 for the Doubledays. Kelvin Lopez (1-2) allowed the four unearned runs in the seventh to take the loss.

The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Vermont (26-27), which begins a three-game series at Batavia on Friday night. Then after the New York-Penn League All-Star Game on Tuesday,  the Lake Monsters return to Centennial Field on Wednesday to open a six-game homestand.
