Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


TROY, NY --- Tri-City scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the first and seventh inning and starter Jonas Dufek scattered six hits over six scoreless innings as the ValleyCats shutout the Vermont Lake Monsters 4-0 in New York-Penn League action Monday night at Bruno Stadium.

The Lake Monsters outhit Tri-City 8-5 for the game and had the leadoff batter in each of the nine innings reach base safely. Vermont had six leadoff singles, a walk, hit batter and a batter reach on a fielding errror to start each innings, but the Lake Monsters went 6-for-9 with the bases empty and just 2-for-25 with runners on base (hit into three double plays).

The ValleyCats scored their two first-inning runs on just one hit as Vermont starter Argenis Paez walked two batters with one out and also threw two wild pitches, including a run-scoring one for Tri-City's first run. John Hinson added a two-out RBI single to score Miles Hamblin for a 2-0 lead.

Both Tri-City runs in the seventh were unearned after a Chad Lewis two-out error prolonged the inning. Justin Gominsky scored on a Drew Bailey wild pitch and then on a groundball with runners on second and third, third baseman Michael Fabiaschi tried to get Matt Duffy coming from second but Duffy headed back to second and wasn't tagged out until after Hamblin had scored from third.

Lewis and Chad Oberacker each had two hits for Vermont, while Jeff Urlaub gave up one hit with four strikeouts over 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of Paez (0-2) who went just 1 1/3 innings with three walk and three strikeouts. Dufek (1-0) walked one and struckout three in his six scoreless innings for his first win, while Adam Champion two scoreless innings and Ryan Cole one strikeout in ninth inning to clinch the shutout.

Vermont and Tri-City wrap up the series on Tuesday at 7:00 pm at Bruno Stadium before the Lake Monsters head to Brooklyn for a three-game series with the Cyclones through Friday. Vermont (10-6) returns to Centennial Field on Saturday for a three-game series against the Staten Island Yankees.
