Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


ABERDEEN, MD --- Chad Lewis snapped a 2-2 tie with a two-run single as the Vermont Lake Monsters scored six runs in the top of the 14th inning for an 8-2 victory over the Aberdeen Ironbirds in New York-Penn League action Thursday night at Ripken Stadium.

Vermont trailed 2-1 in the ninth inning when they got three straight singles from Diomedes Lopez, pinch hitter Xavier Macklin and Aaron Shipman (bunt single) to load the bases with no outs. A walk to Sean Jamieson forced home pinch runner Michael Fabiaschi with the tying run, but the Lake Monsters were unable to plate the go ahead run as Chih-Fang Pan flew out to shallow left, Jordan Tripp popped out to short and Lewis flied out to right.

The Lake Monsters had just one hit over the next four innings and Aberdeen had a chance to win the game in the 12th as Glynn Davis leadoff with a double and advanced to third on a one-out wild pitch. But reliever Nathan Kilcrease got Mychal Givens to groundout with the infield in and struckout Wynston Sawyer to end the threat.

Shipman lead off the 14th with a single to left, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Sawyer.  A walk, wild pitch and intentional walk again loaded the bases with no outs for Vermont and Orlando Alfonso was able to strikeout Tripp looking for the first out, but Lewis then lined a single to left scoring Shipman and Jamieson for a 4-2 lead.

Chad Oberacker followed with a RBI bunt single and Chris Affinito an RBI single to center for a 6-2 advantage. After a double steal, Fabiaschi singled home Oberacker and Nick Rickles' sacrifice fly scored Affinito with the sixth run of the inning as the Lake Monsters won their first extra-inning game played this season.

Shipman was 4-for-6 with a run and RBI for Vermont (15-9), while Oberacker had three hits and Fabiaschi two hits after coming into the game in the ninth as a pinch runner. Kilcrease struckout four in three scoreless innings, while Jeff Urlaub (1-0) struckout two in one scoreless inning to earn the victory.

The Lake Monsters and Ironbirds play at Aberdeen again on Friday night before the series moves to historic Centennial Field for a three-game Vermont homestand Saturday at 6:05, Sunday 1:05 and Monday at 7:05 pm.
